Los Angeles (South Bay or Santa Monica) Mechanic?

Did a search but didn't find anything recent. Any good recommendations for a mech in South Bay (Manhattan Beach area) or Santa Monica? More specifically, someone who knows our W124s inside out.

TIA

theres santa monica autowerks, owner has a 500e, and one of the mechanics there has a 400E engine into a 300CE!!!
they are very good with w124's but they are pricy and they are packed.. but if you do go, ask for brian, say gabe with the 300ce sent you.. and theres about 3 - 4 shops in that vicinity who are good, but all pricey..

westwood mercedes is okay (the one by sawtelle)

blvd autoworks in the valley is great, but a tad expensive as well, cheaper than santa monica probably..

mr.mb is highly rated, but i think hes overrated, and its a win or lose.
