Need recomendations on a reputable, certified indy shop

As some may know from my recent posts I just picked up this car a few weeks ago and I am in love. I also love the way the guys at the dealership dote on the car. They did not sell it to me. I picked them to do pre purchase inspections on the final candidates and we all agreed that this was a clean low mileage example of a great car. That said while I will stick with them for the work that it is best to have the dealership do, A and B service, etc. I need to find a reputable, certified MBZ indy shop to handle more regular stuff,eg upgrading to SS brake lines and slotted, maybe drilled rotors, when the time comes shock and suspension decisions, tire choices etc. I live about 1/2 way between Wash DC and Baltimore but Northern VA is easily accessible too. Any recomendations would be appreciated in finding a new home base for the baby.

Hi,

Im actually in Columbia, which is also in between Baltimore and DC. I have had a lot of success with a guy in Elkton. His shop is called Image Auto Service. The phone number is 410 796 1114. I do most of my own maintenance, but when I have questions or have something I cant handle, I go there. His prices are really good, and hes very willing to answer any questions. He used to work at a dealership himself and also drives an W210.

Hey thanks! I am in the Laurel Beltsville area myself. Just checked the google map, this guy is just up the road, off of Route 1 near Elkridge. Thanks. Any other recommendations are also welcome.
