I am looking for an experienced independent C32 tech

Evening guys. Long time reader...few time poster here. I am in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area looking for an experienced C32 mechanic. There are quite a few indy shops around but when I ask whether they work on many C32s they pause and say "Hmm...sure" I am skeptical so I thought I would ask the local C32 owners where they take their C32s. I will even drive as far as central or north NJ if need be.

My C32 just turned 60,000 miles. I am looking for a coolant flush, oil change, some general routine maintenance. Any recommendations?

Thanks

I would recommend doing it yourself and requires a minimum amount of tools. You should be able to source the fluids locally and get the filter at the dealer. Be careful about the coolant they use, zerex g05 is the same as MB coolant.

I had him replace the rear brakes on my C55 (rotors and pads). Labor cost was $90 for both. He's a master MB tech who left a very large MB dealer over a year ago to open his own business.

Very reasonable pricing and a very nice guy to boot. I will be using him for all of my service needs (other than oil changes which I do myself).

Thank you SO MUCH for this recommendation. I was just about to ask the same question. This just made my life 1000% easier. Thanks
