Authorized Kleeman Dealers in NJ/NY?
To put it plainly, my dealer is pretty much against an ECU tune, even mentioning something about warranty fraud. From my understanding, I can get my car serviced at any MB dealer/service center, and I'm fine with going somewhere else. Anyone know of an authorized Kleeman dealer in the NJ/NY area? Preferably one that is an MB dealer/service center as well, that way I don't really need to worry about warranty issues.

interested in getting a kleemann tune done, but am worried about any warranty issues.. are there any tell-tale things a service guy can look for to see if a car has been tuned (less reading the ECU)? i'm pretty sure they don't try to dyno it and check how much hp/tq, or try to see if the speed limiter is still in place..
during regular services would they ever touch the ecu?

Come this Saturday I will be in Hoboken, NJ. Sometimes I ride down Washington St when its nice out in first gear so everyone can hear the exhaust and burble. Its funny when people look and expect to see a Mustang or some American muscle car but instead they see a Mercedes.

I'd stay away from Prestige MB in Paramus, NJ.
Service Manger told me any reprogramming would definitely void the warranty.
Also charged me $400 to change the oil and differential fluid at 3,00 miles.
I'm also interested in finding a North Jersey dealer who willing to work with me on a Kleeman reprogram.

Hey guys we are in Charlotte, NC so oem service work for you is out of the question but I do know for a fact that
A. Can't detect the Kleemann Software with any of their diagnostic tools
B. I have never seen a dealership with a dyno in house so power and speed governor is pretty much not an option
C. Removing the ECU to get the Kleemann software is so easy that I can walk you right through in 5 minutes or less.
If your interested in getting the software feel free to email or call me and I would gladly walk you through the removal process. After that you just box it up and ship it out and get it back in 2 days. It is one of the easiest ECU's to remove out of all models. Next time I get one in I will do a write up on it with photos

I use a shop called Bergen Imports in Cliffside Park NJ, helped with Kleemann mods.
I'd stay away from RPM Racing, had headers & LSD installed there only to find out later they did a 'bang up' job literally. Kleemann removed them as authorized retailer.

Bergen Imports were always super nice to me. Quality work at reasonable prices. Talk to Harry. Real nice guy with a lot of knowledge about German cars. He also has a full MB Star DAS setup which always means this is a pro shop.
