Indy mechanic Van Nuys/Encino area for '01 E320?

Hi. Can anyone recommend an indy mechanic in the Sherman Oaks area where I work? Nothing specialized needed at this point, simply routine maintenance.

Car has 102,000 miles and has been out of extended warranty for about a year. Service B indicated for 700 miles from now. I don't have much motivation to use the dealer other than they give me a ride to work, or a loaner, as needed. But as you know their rates for repairs are very high.

You can PM me or post here (home email edited out).

Ask for George (owner)

Tell George that Jimmy the Greek from next door sent you. He'll take care of you; they do good work at good prices.

Thanks OhLord... had the plugs replaced at 96,000 as part of a mission to find out why the car was gasping for air, sometimes severly and almost cutting out ... ended up replacing the gas tank and all has been fine since.
