good independent shop in LA/OC?

Hi,

I am looking for good independent shop to install pulley.

I heard people said Best Benz or MB Best in Manhattan Beach.
However, I couldn't find the information about them.
If anyone knows their number, please help me!

Or anyone knows good independent shop in south LA or Orange county?

Thanks a lot!
Ben

S, GL, Escalade ESV, my shoes
I used to go to Haus Of Mercedes in OC. Most of the time, they got the job done right. But then the owner got greedy once he realized that I trust him enough not to shop around. Then he quoted me a lot (sometime even more than dealer, even the guy told me dealer would charge way more) for jobs & problems that he thought he could get a way with (quoted me $400 + part for the BAS/ASP warning, told me it's the anti-skid module need to be replaced, turn out it's the brake switch, $14, I fixed the problem myself. Also told me that the whole door need to be ripped apart to replace the windows regulator, quote a lot. And charged me $75 for "synthetic oil change", and I later found out it was regular oil).

I now either work on the car myself, or go to Benz Best in Manhattan Beach. They are very honest & skillful. Lot of my colleague go there, no one have had a single negative comment about them. Reasonable price & sincerely honest. They have saved my a$$ in so many occassion. Other forum members have had similar experience about them.

Their website is http://www.mbzbest.com/

Give them a try, if you don't mind the driving. They're one of the very few independent shop in the US have equipment (StarDiagnositic) to work even in the latest & most exclusive Benz model

I also go to Beach Benz for routine tune up on my ML. Mike * the owner * is a nice guy and their prices are reasonable.
