W205
Bay Area Mercedes Owners

Can anyone recommend a good shop to take care of maintenance for my W205? I don't want to pay dealer prices, but will if I have to. I live in the South bay near San Jose if that helps.

This two places keeps popping up. Has anyone been to either of these places?: Mercedes Exclusively or Mercedes Service Mountatin View

I'm looking to do Service B.

Thanks.

Check with Dinan's service shop- I think it's called "Steve Dinan Auto" or something. They're known for BMWs more than Mercedes, but we sent a few cars to them back when I was at Renntech and they were more than helpful. Good dudes.

Too far north for you, but Burlingame Prime Motorz (in Burlingame, duh) is fantastic. Call them and ask for a referral?

I have used German Auto Kraft in San Carlos for many many years after warranty on cars goes off. They are much cheaper than any dealer, and will do only the items you want, etc. Pick and choose. Check their website or sign up for their email for a 20-25% off coupon that is always out there.

Great quality work at very reasonable prices
