service advisor recommendations

Hello All,

My trusted service advisor has left the dealership (Beshoff Motors) who I used to take my 2006 E320 CDI to. I am not confident leaving a diesel in anyone's hand since dealerships around california don't seem to run thro' many diesel vehicles. I had my service advisor always get the car taken care of by this senior diesel mechanic. So I am on the block shopping for another great service advisr who understands diesel buffs and enthusiasts such as folks on this forum. I'd appreciate references for dealerships and particular SA in the San Jose or the south bay peninsula area. I have an ELW on this vehicle so I'd like them to take care of any work due under warranty.

best regards,
terracotta

2006 E320 CDI
Hello, I am in the market again shopping for the right dealership/SA and most importantly the MB technician for my trusty E320 CDI 2006. Beshoff motorcars has become automation and Park avenue motors in Palo alto has shut down.

Any recommendations for diesel guys would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Any way you could find out where the senior diesel mechanic that you liked at the dealership went to? He's still gotta put bread on the table and would likely consider it a high compliment that you sought him out to keep working on your car.

Excellent thought! However, I tried to locate them but couldn't track them down.
Recommendations on anyone in the sf bay area would be great.
