Kleemann/Renntech installers in Chicago ?

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a dealer/installer in Chicago that carries the abovementioned brands ?

Also, if I read other threads correctly, an ECU upgarde does NOT void the warranty ?

Cheers
Kai

depends on the dealer. mine won't void the warranty as long as they do the work, not anyone else. some other dealers would void the warranty right away when u mention those names.

The Knauz motor group in Lake Bluff Illinois has really good service and is an authorized Kleeman distributor. They will put through your warranty claim even if you get a Kleeman S/C on a 320 4matic if they install it. Ask me how I KNOW

regards,
Jeff

I can second the recommendation of Knauz in Lake Bluff, talk to Axl Knauz, apparently they did a Kleemann upgrade to an E500 4-matic that's really sweet, it'll out run an E55 because of the AWD.

Just saw this and thought i should point out that Axel Knauz, no longer is employed with Knauz Mercedes.
