Looking for a Mercedes specialist/tuning shop in Dc/md/va?

Hey guys I picked up a 2009 c63 a couple months ago and I want to start doing some mods to it.. I don’t know of any Mercedes specialist/tuning shops in the area as I’ve always owned bmws.. does anyone have any good recommendations.. I don’t care about price as long as it’s quality work

Worth the Wait's E55 after the carbon fiber interior trim install.

Try Benz Elite Automotive, 703-370-1221 located at 2809C Dorr Ave, Fairfax VA I've taken both C63, and later my E63 to them for years.
I've had everything done there from maintenance & repairs, performance upgrades, paint correction & ceramic coating. But never had a tune done there.
But give them a call, also there prices are reasonable. I've been slowly upgrading my E63's interior to carbon fiber, as the pieces arrive.

Here's Eddie transferring over the controls from the old to the new wheel.

Built 2008 G55 & one big 80 Series LandCruiser !
VRP might be worth taking with - no affiliation and no sense of what service would be like but they do carry and develop some c63 centric parts.....

EC for tuning is my suggestion..... love what they're done for my car but not sure if they've got anyone with driving distance...

what do you want to have done to the car other than a tune ?

Honestly just want to the euro charge tune and install some long tube headers... oh yeah and make it sound louder, not sure whichever route to go with in that regards, considering starting out by just deleting the resonators.. can’t think of any more performance mods beyond that? I bought my car recently and it came w a renntech intake and kw v3 suspension

I also explained to Emile that there's no welding needed, and he doesn't need to find "just some stainless steel pipes" (his original solution for second cat delete) because I will provide the parts.

Help w failing MD emissions test

Hi all,
I bought a C63 S W205 with a tune and cat delete already done. I cannot for the life of me pass MD emissions. My car runs the code for not recognizing two of the four o2 sensors but upon further inspection, they are in fact present and wired. After further research into how this is possible, I found it's due to how the tune was done. So, I'm now trying to find an experienced, knowledgeable tuner that can solution this for me without flashing it back to factory. Can anyone suggest a shop? Much thanks!

I bought it from a dealer as a trade in. I tracked down the tune shop they used but they weren't very helpful initially and when I called a second time they never returned my call.

The EPA is cracking down on tuning shops even if they label it for (OFF ROAD) use only. they are very hush hush about anything tuning related over the phone if you are local to them i would suggest you drive to them so they can talk to you in person and get a feel for you and see the car in person.
