Suggestions for OEM warranty repairs in Boston, MA

My '01 CLK430 needs to go in for some warranty repairs in the Boston area. Anyone prefer one dealer over another, or ones to avoid?

Items to fix are:

Climate control: EC light won't go out, fan speed has a mind of its own and sounds like a squirrel

Usual sqeaks and creaks, though I am sure they will say that they cannot hear them

Clunking sound in front when wheels are turned all the way when backing up

Broken air vent

I have to disagree with espo5166. I lived in Boston for 11 years before moving out to western NY. I purchased 2 cars from Flagship, 98'E430 and 98'CLK320. The techs at Flagship couldn't fix thing properly and promptly even if their lives depend on it. They never have problem getting my cars in quick but it will take them minimal of 2-3 visits to get thing done right. My wife and I gave up and went to Chambers Motor in Somerville instead. Never had problem with Chambers Motor, even though they are own by the same guy. Sales staff were great but I couldn't say the same for the service dept.

They have been nothing but great to me, keep in mind that I have never had a major problem with my MB's. So I cannot comment on technical expertise, but they have always treated me well. Always got in in quick, a MB loaner, and a fast turnaround.
Just my opinion though.
