Unhappy ECU Help

Goodnight All,

The ECU in my car has malfunctioned, and either needs to be repaired or replaced. Can anyone recommend a shop I can ship it to to be repaired? And, if it is irreparable, a shop that would be able to program the replacement?

Contact info for any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Car has been laid up for 6 months, so any help is welcomed. Thanks in advance.

Who's directed you to needing a new ecu? The person that told you this has no input on either a shop or place that can repair it? hmmm

Car died and wouldn't restart, and then the diagnostic tool was getting nothing. Initially the technician was thinking electrical fault, but examination of the ECU revealed that capacitors had burned out.

I've done some research and have settled on using this company in Florida - http://www.mercedesecm.com.

Make sure the owner name is not Plutoe.
I still would get 2nd opinion. Those things are usually quoted above $2000 and the site is giving very low prices.
I think that what they do is illegal
