Benz Elite Automotive in Arlington VA is awesome!!!
I just want to express my thanks to my boy Eddie over at Benz Elite. I called Eddie at about 3pm on Friday, just before the holiday weekend. I needed my I/C Pump removed and my new Bosch installed in its place. The CLS55 Pump location is butter. It sits just under the front engine cover. The facility is beautiful and very clean. Exactly what you would expect to find in a shop that works on our cars. His staff was great to deal with very helpful and did a great job, Thanks again Eddie.
Also i was shocked to see how tiny the stock pump is, its no wonder why they fail so prematurely.

Nice to here there is a good place to go that is local and not a stealership. I will be doing most of my own maint. but will take the beast in when i am short on time or when I think I may be getting in over my head.

Karlson,
I am about 50 feet North of Fairfax city. You?
Do people replace their pump as a precaution, or just wait till it fails. I feel like I should buy one and have it sitting on a shelf awaiting the day.
