I really need to find another shop. Just this morning i went to pick up my wifes 02 E320 from the dealer (still under warranty) and i was asking some of the guys there did they know of any outside shops i could take my 98 and they told me "no". So i mentioned that i usually take it to my so-called tech which is located in the same town about a mile away, and they just laughed. We both blurted out the name of the shop simultanously. They told me this guy comes into the dealer for his parts and sometimes has to ask questions about how to fix this and that. They told me this guy is only good for changing oil and batteries. WOW!
I dont know if they are just hating on the poor guy, but he does seem kind of airheaded. But his shop is loaded with all late model mercs and his business card states "Certified Mercedes Technician.
Anyway, thats my last visit to this guy.
I need to find a shop immediately. i refuse to go to the stealer. They once tried to charge me 150 bucks for checking my trunk lock.
Come on board, i need help!!!

Finding a shop..

Should I keep my 2002 W210 passed its warranty date, I plan to take it to this place:

Gordon's Auto Repair
15 10th Avenue, Sea Cliff, NY 11579
516 671-7735

BUT BUT BUT

This is based upon a good friend -- and autobuff, recommendation.

Every so often, you do have to wonder about value/cost of these vehicles.

How far south will you go? I have a name of a guy located in Sea Girt. I haven't used him yet, but my stealer salesguy gave it to me.
