DC area MB dealer mechanics
For those of you in the DC/VA/MD area, I'm curious where you get your G wagons serviced.
I bought mine from Catonsville Mercedes and went back a couple times during my first month of ownership to address some minor issues. The first mechanic that worked on it was terrible and did things like installing the cabin filter backwards, leaving a door handle disconnected, stripping a door trim screw, and using super glue to attach one of the exterior moldings which didn't even work and ended up damaging the clear coat with a layer of permanent white discoloration. I'm pretty shocked they would let this kid work on a $120k vehicle.
Of course, the mechanic who worked on it my second visit was excellent, as I watched him work (from a distance) and saw that he a.) worked meticulously and b.) double-checked everything when he was done. I was so impressed that I talked to him for a few minutes before I left and found him to be extremely knowledgeable and passionate about working on Mercedes. Now you would think that's great, next time I'll just have this guy work on my G, but the problem is the service manager won't let a customer specify which mechanic works on their car. In fact, he got offended/irritated when I asked.

Oh hey Tony. Yeah send me his info. You got my cell already. We connected earlier about car meets in the Tysons area. I'm all the way down in southern MD but there's no MB dealers down here anyway so I may as well make the drive to VA for my next service.
