2004 S430 air suspension problem

I could really use some help. Have 2004 s430 that is sitting on its tires right now. I had open heart surgery almost two years and stop driving it during my recover period. Took the insurance off of it and parked in up in my garage. It hasn't been driven for a little over a year. Went to move it the other day and the air suspension wouldn't lift it at all. Been reading a bunch of info about possible problems and solutions, but this is beyond my skill set. I'm trying to avoid having to tow it or go to a dealer. Can anyone recommend a Benz tech or mechanic in the NYC area that would be willing to come take a look at it? Any help would be appreciated.

You may have it towed either way. When you start the car, what does the display say? There may be multiple problems ranging from the air compressor system, air lines, struts, sensors, computer hard codes etc. It may be undriveable at this point because you'll end up tearing the under carriage apart. Look for an MB specialist in your area. Start with that.
