Question Certified MB Tech

How do I go about finding certified MB techs if I don't want to go to my regular service center?

It changes all the time
Having been at this service and repair of MBs business for over 30 years, I'd advise you not to worry so much about certification, but look for someone who can diagnose and repair your vehicle. When I was an electronics tech, we had some really bright guys in the crew, but the bosses wouldn't let them touch the equipment. I've seen mechanics with certification patches all up and down their sleeve, but could only solve a problem by throwing parts into the car til something worked.

One of the easier ways is to talk to the techs at your dealer. Ask who's gone out on their own and if they are any good.
