Exclamation suggestions would be nice...

Through all the times that I have spent my money on meddley things, I have finally saved some money to repair my air pump that makes a loud noise when the engine is cold and when I first start it every morning.

Anyone have any clue on where I should go to get this fixed at a reasonable price and from a reliable mechanic whom I can go back to for future problems that may come? I am located in Orange County,CA....thanks

Hey Omar,

Just got home and got your text.

I have a good trusting/reliable mechanic down in Orange if you wanna check him out. I was referred to him my a friend who use to work for him who now owns his own shop.

It's called Johnson Motorcars, Inc.

Ask for Gary Johnson, he's the owner.

My friend use to work for Johnson Motorcars and recommended me to him.

As for your second question, "Johnson Motorcars, Inc - Specializing in the service and repair of M e r c e d e s - B e n z"

lol. thats what it says on the business card.

One of the pro-mechanic from one of the largest Benz dealer decided to open his own shop, and just bought the Indy shop lately. The man really know all Mercedes inside out. He even have a completed set of Star Diagnostic.

Just got a bunch of stuffs at my car done there, save lot of money compared to dealer, and peace of mind knowing a Mercedes trained mechanic working on my car. Very happy with end-result, and highly recommend him.

His name is Randall, (714) 554-6299. The shop is in Westminster.
