Looking for Good SoCal Mercedes Service???

I live in Ventura County next to Thousand Oaks. Can anyone recommend a good place for Mercedes Service? I bought my 2007 SL55 at Silver Star but I lost my trust with them. It's Class A "stealership" and nothing but a bunch of liars and rip-offs.

I'm due for Service B and a recall that needs to be done. How is Calabasas Mercedes? As compared to Rusnak in Pasadena?

Appreciate any feedback...

I live in TO and take mine to Calabasas. So far so good but there is a shop in Woodland Hills I understand called Mr MB or something like that. The shop is suppose to do good work. Someone else here can probably tell you about it.

I finally ended up at MB of Beverly Hills. I had good success with these guys after going thru a few bad dealerships, including the one I purchased from.

Why are you taking it to a independent shop?

I'm not really looking for an independent shop. I just don't know what dealership service can be trusted after I got screwed by Silver Star AG in Thousand Oaks where I bought my car from. So far I'm leaning towards MB of Beverly Hills, based on feedback from owners... Thanks.

Thanks mfncl63. I didn't get any good feedback about Calabasas prior to yours. All I heard earlier were negative ones.

Anyway, my wife just took the car to Beverly Hills today (I'm in Charlotte this week and for the next few months on business). I have barely used the car - less than 3K miles so far. For the 1K service, I took it to the dealer where I bought it from. I remember paying under $500 for that service.

I got a call from my wife a couple of hours ago and she said this service at Beverly Hills will cost around $800+. Does this sound about right? Anyone?

Thanks,
bari

Thanks Dino. I'll check it out next time. My wife already took the car to Beverly Hills earlier today...
