Car survey - Boston - Who?

Hello (first post and possible new W211 owner),

I am looking for a recomendation for someone who could do a survey on an '04 E500 wagon in the Boston area (actually west of Boston). Can anyone recommend a good person?

Thanks - John

What do you mean by "...do a survey on an '04 E500 wagon in the Boston area"? A survey of what? ...and why would you want a survey of some sort of cars only in the Boston area?

I need a mechanical inspection.

I was using "survey" like you would survey a house or survey a boat before buying it.

I need someone who is an expert in Mercedes to tell me if the car that I am considering buying is a good one and to point out any problems is has or may have.

Sorry if I was not clear.

Thanks - John

Although I live in the Boston suburbs, I can't help since I'm only a "weekend" mechanic. Since you're looking for the west of Boston, you could try the old Hatch Bros shop (which is under new mgt). I can also get the names of a couple of good inys north of Boston if you need them.

Regards,

paul...
