Houston mechanic recommendation?
Hi, I don't see folks having much success finding somewhere in Houston, but thought I'd ask again.
I need an ABV pump replacement on a 05 CL600. The handful of places I stopped by in Midtown ranged from reluctant to scared. This system should be old hat for an Indie.

Thanks in advance.

Houston can't even mount tires correctly.

I do all my own work.

What you're asking is an engine out job, and fraught with pitfalls. Have you hit up the Mercedes dealership?

I've used Garagisti.
It's not the cheapest place, but they do good work.

Have you had any luck? I just picked up new C300 and want options rather than just the dealership and their possible price gouging.
