Thank you much for the info Yabadi.
Based on your experience, would you recommend one compare to the other?

MBI mostly deals with older benz ( -2000), and so does Star motors.Both have good mechanics. MBI didn't charge me anything when they couldn't find the problems in my W220 S500 (turned out I needed wiring harness for my new headlights).One of my friend took his car to star-motors and he's happy with the work they did on his car. Maybe newer benz owners prefer to bring their car to rasmussen, but I'm pretty sure both shop can work on your car. Never been to Hartmann though, but I passed the shop one time I saw a few W220, one W215, and some newer benz (2000-up). My other friend recommended me Hartmann for newer benz.

thanks much!

Thank you much for the feedback YABADI! It definitely helps!! I'll probably get my car maintained with "Sig" from MBI, hoping to save a bit $ compare to Rasmussen.

Terima Kasih!!
