'11 GLK 350
Independent Mechanic in New York Area?

Hi all,

just bought a '11 GLK 350 for my daily commute between NYC and Westchester - it seems like the shocks (or shock absorbers) need to be replaced.
Does anyone know a good independent mechanic in the area of New York, ideally further north around Westchester?

Thank you!

I can recommend an extremely knowledgeable and honest/ kind mechanic who is located in Long Island. He has clients come from all over, if you're willing to drive out, it isn't too far.

The shop is:
J & P Auto Repair Inc.
95 Woodbury Rd, Hicksville, NY 11801

Ask for John, and tell him the guy with the white CLS sent you! G'luck.

Was just looking for an honest mechanic in Queens, but I'll give this guy a try since he's not too far away.

Hi - I know this is an older thread but noticed it and it's probably never too late for this type of info. Doug's Foreign Car in Mamaroneck, NY. Always serviced my MBs, very good knowledge and very honest. Good luck...

Bells isn't so great.

I wasn't so impressed with bells. I went there to get a quote for some service on my bends. They acted like they were doing me a favor. Essentially asked me how much I was willing to spend on the project before giving me a quote. Their shop is also extremely disorganized. Old cars sitting outside for years. Doesn't look like they really take pride in there work so maybe they have experience Mercedes but far from my deal in terms of a mechanic that I could trust
