2007 Mercedes SL600
Need a DIY car repair buddy.. Austin,Texas

Some repairs are just a lot easier with a second pair of hands form a DIY guy who works on their Mercedes cars.
Just a guy who likes tinkering with their cars, not a professionally employed mechanic, although I do have an excellent Indy I use from time to time.
Hoping to connect with someone experienced with Mercedes SL's and SDS. Happy to teach you what I know about SDS if your not using one.


I'm a retired engineer and very knowledgeable on my 2007 SL600. Experienced using my SDS system for repair and diagnostics.
My garage is temperature controlled and has a 7,000 pound lift.

Compensation for your time and travel.
I'm located 15 miles West of Bee Cave, off Hwy 71 West.

PM me if interested.
Don
