Gentlemen, I joined the Benz Brotherhood last month with a purchase of a one owner 2004 S430. I have recently turned 40 and decided to get a jump on my midlife crisis. (It was going to be either this or a boat.)

The car is a pewter color with the AMG body package. After a deep cleaning, she turned out to be a real stunner. I give it about an 8 out of 10 mechanically. The first time I rolled the driver's side window down, I heard all manner of bumping. After reading this forum, I'm pretty sure it killed the softclose components as it no longer assists on either front door.

It could use an alignment and parking brake adjustment too. Does anyone live near Highway 6 and 10 or 290? I'm near Copperfield and looking for a good shop near me with a strong endorsement.

Thanks!
John

Hi John,
Not sure of good shops out west. One of the best Alignment guys in Houston IMHO is Bunn at One Stop Complete Auto on Hillcroft. Pay him a visit and tell him I sent you.

I can check out your car with STAR diagnostics if you wanna step into inside the 610 loop one saturday.

Thanks for the info. And I would absolutely appreciate a diagnostic check-up. What kind of beer you drink?
