The Mercedes Service Center in Alexandria...I would run quickly from. Last time I took my ML there, the person who pulled it out and parked it hit a phone pole, and then told me they didn't. Front end damage and bent the plate. I had good luck with Euromotorcars in Germantown. Bethesda jacks their prices up for the same services.

I've been going to Benz Elite in Alexandria for my routine maintenance. Emile and Eddie are knowledgable MB owners themselves, and former MB dealer techs. Quick service, won't gouge you, and they take a personal interest in your car. I call on the phone and the first thing Emile asks is, "How's the 55 running?"

Still looking for a reputable fabrication shop - but for anything I'd have a dealer do I take it to Benz Elite.

Luxus Automotive in Manassas.....Iraj is the man, solved all kinds of problems on my previous AMGs. The shop is loaded with Benz's of all era's so they know what they are doing.
