Hello,

I am a car collector living in Toledo. I have worked at a couple of independent European car repair shops in the past, and I do almost all of the work on our household fleet of twelve vehicles, which at the moment includes two CLK320 coupes, a C300, and an SLK230. I also maintain several Lotus, Mercedes, and Jaguars for other people locally. I have worked on some Mercedes of the era that your SL is, but it has been a number of years. If you need light work done, perhaps I could help.

Regarding an independent shop, I can't at this moment recommend anyone. I will be trying out Waterville Imports soon for a job on one of my Jaguars that I don't have the time to do. They are a two-person operation and have a great reputation, so I am hoping that goes well. They are more into German and Swedish cars, so they may be just the thing you are looking for. I can provide update/feedback on my experience soon, as my appointment is in nine days.

Cheers,

Tony K.

Thanks Tony. I’ve taken it to Warren Street Garage in Toledo and they were good. They specialize in MB, so pretty back-logged and slow to get in.
