Lindon, UT-Home of the SLR 722 and Black Series

That's right, the Mercedes Benz dealership in Lindon, Utah (where the heck is that) has a constant parade of some of the coolest MB's out there. I was there for service this week and they've got a black CLK 63 Black Series. I'm in love! (By the way, it's their 3rd one at this dealership) Earlier this year they had the SLR 722! My salesman started up the CLK for us (in the showroom) and reved it up. I WANT! What a stunning car. It looks like it's going 100+ standing still. Kudos to little Lindon, also home of the best MB mechanic around, Ken Robinson-Renntech Certified Installer! By the way, Jackpro's mods got their birth at this dealership as well. Who'da thunk.

you go to UT to service your MBZ? Or just go there to look around? I know Fletcher is full of douches, so i wouldn't want to go into the dealership either.

I was actually brining my car up for the C service. I was planning to leave on Wed, the 2nd. I drove to work in the AM and my wife called to tell me there was a puddle of fluid where my car was parked in the garage. I went out and looked under my car and there was another puddle of fluid about 1' in diameter. It was ATF. I limped it to the nearest MB service center and they hoisted it, dropped the lower shield and a bunch of fluid came raining down. They pulled one of the rubber plugs on the tranny and more fluid came out. They said it was probably the pump seal. So, I had to leave it there to get worked on. That didn't make me very happy because I completely trust the guys at MB of Lindon. They were cool when I went in yesterday and said that they would take a look at my baby the next time I bring it up to make sure that everything was done correctly. So, yes, I do drive my car 430 miles to get it serviced.

Photos added!

Sorry about the quality of the photos. They were taken with my phone camera and then enhanced with a little "Photoshop action." The car is much more stunning in person.

Give me the small town dealer any time, my perfered is 100 miles one way and I would pay to flatbed my car to them if I needed to. Now if it was 430 miles, time to join AAA or AA.

If you're talking about my car, I have the R/T stage 5 with a Sprint Booster. If you're talking about Jim's car, we'll need to start another thread.
