Exclamation Does Any1 know of a Good Affordable L.A. Area Benz Mechanic / Shop?

i think my mechanic is good but if theres someone else local that is better and still affordable, reliable like my guy i am more than willing to try them im in Hollywood, CA. My guy is great but i have been having some of the same problems with my car for over 6 months now and im not sure he knows much about 2000+ model benz eletronics its an 2001 S430.

Do you know of a good affordable Los Angeles area Benz Mech? That knows the 2000+ S Class's inside out?


CAR ISSUES:

Im sure most of these issues are with the system itself and its data so i i can find an affordable place to get the euro spec upgrade or a great mechanic it would help out alot.

I replaced the center counsol myself but the new one's speedometer started over at 0miles, and the check engine and sms light stay lit, even when the codes are cleared they come back after a few hours or days. So im only up to 5,000 according to it now. [ i changed it in march ]

The Fog / Head Lights sometimes malfuction usually 1 at a time when i first start the car 1 light will not come on sometimes i can turn the car off for a while then retry it and it will come on, i have canged bulds many times.

The fuel system error keeps coming back and at times the car shakes but its rare about once every week or 2 my mech said its not feeding enough fuel at times it all seems tied to the brain, so the euro spec upgrade should wipe it clean and fix alot of these thins [ what do u think? ]

And it could use HP boost Bad, without the supercharger type price tag.


Thats most all of the issues nothing ultra major but they all sound eletronic, so if any1 knows a great mechanic or euro spec upgrade place please help thanks
