For body work Preferred collision center has to be the best. They are Mercedes-Benz certified. When I had an accident in my mom's ML55(small damage to front bumper; b*stards ran a red light ), we towed it to MB Sugarland(because thats where we bought it from). They(MB Sugarland) went ahead and had it towed to Preferred collision. Car came out looking like new. I had also replaced the bumber on my w140 S500 and had them do the work. TOP NOTCH work.

Houston is who I always dealt with. Yes his name is HOUSTON. VERY cool dude. Let him know 'Big Frank' sent you and he'll take care of you.
I can PM you his cel number if you want.

Good Luck bro.

Avoid River Oaks Paint & Body!!!

They are also a MB certified repair shop, but they are crooks. I made a mistake by filling up the car before I brought it in, and of course they didn't hestitate to put on over 200 miles with my gas. On that road trip, they managed to put a huge ding on the passenger fender. Of course they denied it but, after some heated argument, they fixed it.

I wonder why no MB dealer has a body shop in Houston.

E55
River OAks repainted the fender on my Mom's (black) car - OK but had a couple of pits and the texture was not a match - wouldn't go back.

I had a CL that was keyed and totally repainted - by Marios in Houston - didn't take off all the trim like they should have - made me wish I'd shipped the car to California for high class work.....I sold it for the E55.
