Not so much in Riverside, but:

The best in SoCal for quality and value. Speak directly to Owner and Master Technician Michael Long (very meticulous, and absolutely exceptional diagnostician):
https://www.benztec.com/
(i drive 2+ hours to his shop)

Other noteworthy SoCal shops:
https://starmotorwerksoc.com/
https://benzworks.com/

Any experience, personal or otherwise, with South Bay Autohaus, or just general impression given some of the Negative Reviews?
I only know of shop via a colleague who is extremely pleased with quality of their work on his GT R Pro and his 2 other AMGs.

Another very quality shop I have personal experience with (between LA and Fresno) is:
https://europeanperformanceautomotive.com/ in Bakersfield (only 30 minutes from Buttonwillow Race Track)
Mark was former MB Master Technician, and has outstanding knowledge depth and detail.
He definitely has my repeat business.

I should have qualified that statement with "nothing at all to do with the quality of work they turn out since I don't know, but rather the ease of going to their Internet presence."
My bad.
