2000 ML430 Help

anyone know where I can fix/reupholster my seats and the interiror of my car?

also anyone know where I can fix or get a new navi/radio system? I prefferably want to get the same navi/radio system but if anyone has better recommendations please lmk.



also my car has problems as well:
1. my A/C is broken. it blows out hot air not matter what. even if i try to turn it off my A/C blows out hot air. a mechanic said itll cost about $2000+ cause he has to open up the compressor? want to know if thisis right.

2. Theres a hissing sound on the drivers side evertime i turn on the car.....a mecanic said its a brake booster and was charging $1100.....want to know if this is fairly priced

The upholstery problem is the least of your concern.

What is wrong with your radio?

As for the A/C problem, you must replace your Blend Door Motor to correct the problem. The top half of the instrument panel must be removed to do so.

The hissing sound is a faulty Brake Booster and also must be replaced. I would suggest looking for a used one at a junk yard and have it installed.

Where do you live?
