haha I think he's looking for referals. I know I wouldn't trust someone straight out of the yellowpages unless someone I knew recommended it.

Just remember, if you want to get warranty repairs done, you have to go to the dealer. A private shop is only good for when your car is out of warranty.

Or if you want some mods which the dealers refuse to do. There is no way my dealer would change the suspension or brakes, even using AMG parts. My service advisor would rather commit suicide than install the Kleemann flywheel and clutch.

I recommend Capital Auto on 950 San Gabriel Blvd 91776. Ask for Henry (owner). He specialized in MB, BMW and Volvo.
I also own a 1987 300E and he did a great job on my car.
