Hello,
I'm moving from Phoenix to Tampa, FL. in two weeks and need a good MB Independent Mechanic. I'v looked online and found a few, but I would like to know if anybody would like to recommend one they like.

I live in the South Tampa area and I've been searching the forums for a while to see if anyone has really recommended any independent garages, but I haven't seen any. I know that there are at least four European places within 3 miles of each other in this area, but I don't know if they're any good. I just recently bought my '94 S420 and I've only taken it to be serviced once- at the dealer and after, I realized my mistake. I need to take it to a place now- not the dealer- because of a really bad coolant leak, but I really don't know which place is best. If someone could recommend a garage, I (as well as the original author of this post) would really really appreciate it.

By the way, what part of Tampa are you moving to?
