Mercedes-Benz of Buckhead / Atlanta, GA

I just wanted to give a shout out to Mercedes-Benz of Buckhead / Atlanta, GA.

http://www.mbobpc.com/

This store is by far the nicest MB Store / Shop I have even been to… and this is coming from a guy that travels all over the country and has been to almost every major dealer.

Let me give you a little play by play of my visit….

As I pulled in my jaw dropped… they had every Class AMG in Black on Black lined up out front… These were the only cars they had out front…. All the other cars on the lot are kept in side their multi-million dollar, multi-level dealership. I spoke to a very nice gentleman that approached me as I was slobbering over their AMG collection and after a few minutes he introduced me to Kevin Ingold. Kevin is the guy that has the job that every one of us gear heads wish we had. As I sat in his office and talked about my E55 and he told me stories of some of the cars that he build up there I became more and more amazed that I was sitting in Kevin’s office openly talking about modified MB’s within the MB dealership. In my experience, most dealerships are very hush-hush about mods or shun them all together and here Kevin is with a huge Kleemann and Carlsson sign mounted on the wall behind him.

After about 30 mins of BSing, Kevin said “hey, let me give you a tour” This place is close to what I believe heaven looks like… haha…. Fist off he walked me though the parts and wheel display room, then he took me back in to the parts storage facility where they had walls of wheels, headers, shelves of every little thing you could imagine and want for you car…. After that he walked me over to the shop where they have something like 40+ bays to work on cars and in the back corner of the shop was the 6 or so bays specifically designated for mods… He was telling me that his mod guys can install a Stage 2 Kleemann set up in one business day, basically drop it off in the morning and tear out of there by end of business the same day. They have a professional welder that dose tip top work… the place is crazy. You name it, they can do it… you want Kleemann… done… you want Renntech… done… you want wheels… done…

After that, he took me out to the AMG show room, where they had a number of very impressive cars, they usually have an SLR up there but the just sold it the week before… but have another on order.

Im telling you, if you are ever in Atlanta, swing by. This place is amazing and the staff is great. Ask for Kevin and tell him Blake sent you….

Here is Kevin’s contact info, great guy, and is very knowledgeable about mods… from engines to wheels he has it covered.

I agree MB in BH does have a nice shop and they are located in the perfect spot as far as demographics are concerned.

Mkonei, not much partying left to do in Bhead. They cleared out the bar and nightlife district for high-rises and high end shopping.
