SoCal PPI reccomendations

looking to purchase a 2003 C32, but would like to complete a PPI at a reputable and knowledgeable indy shop...not willing to take it to the dealerships, since they probably dont even inspect it like they really should

hopefully someone can recommend a good shop near Torrance/LAX, or within 20miles of there. Someone who REALLY knows AMG models/superchargers/suspension, not someone who will just glimpse over the obvious areas.

thanks in advance

yea take it to DC performance in LA. my friend aaron works there and i don't think anyone in that area knows amg better than him. he personally owns a freaking sweet e55 and s63. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/...hp?id=15000012

also ck out MB Tech in Monterey Park, Garvey just east of Garfield.

Sonny and Henry were two of the TOP MB technicians at Beverly Hills MB and opened up their own place 5 yrs ago. Even the foreman of BH MB who managed 80 technicians said they were great. Very thorough and objective, and not pushy...plus you get Monterey Park prices. My friends in LA used them, and I took my mother in law's C280 there last week in LA.
