My E320 is now out of warranty and looking for a cheaper repair facility than the dealer (Foreign Motors West) or Wagner.

Suggestions please.

there's a shop on Rt 30 near Rt 9 that handles hi-end Euro cars. They've been there for years. There's also the shop in Waltham that I've heard a lot of chatter about.

In reality, many/most of the better indy shops will have hourly rates comparable to FMW so you may not be ahead from that perspective.

My E420 was serviced almost mainly by Ed Owen, one of the owners when he used to work for Hatch and Sons. That was the best running car I've ever had.

I've not treated my CLK55 quite the same....
