You have the best options being in Chicago.

Eurocharged is local and so is Fluid Motor Union. I can't think of anyone else out there.

FMU is solid and they've done a fantastic job on Kamil's car, not to mention have handled being trolled on virtually every message board possible like utmost professionals.

So does being "TROLLED" on every forum bored mean anything to you or is it just everyone else has lost there mind? Utmost professionals don't have to be on the forums defending there work.

From the threads I've read, it was someone else who had way too much free time that was trolling them, and the responses I've seen from FMU have been very solid.

The C63 thing was absolutely ridiculous and sickening. This dbag signs on to our C63 forum, won't give any details but says that FMU blew up his car. FMU goes entirely out of their way to contact EVERY SINGLE 63 owner they've tuned to make sure their cars are 100%. Backlash against the troll ensues.

I have heard about that as well and if someone is blowing smoke up someones *** for no reason then thats b.s. But i personally don't recommand them nore would i promote there business for the way my situation was handled. Anyway this is not the time or place to bring this back up. Sorry for the highjack on your thread O.P Good luck finding a shop i still vote for Eurocharged.

Hey you have more in the FMU game than me, if you've had a bad experience than I understand you not wanting to recommend them and I'm sure the OP would benefit from your experience.

Anyone know if Sound Performance by O'hare does anything with the benz's? They have a very good reputation with boosted cars from LSX to Supras.

Speed Driven Palatine I believe is the location. Price is fair and Marcin was a head Mercedes/SLR Tech I believe at Mercedes of Chicago for XX Years. Sorry only gone once but a knowledgeable group, and we have similar tastes in Mercedes cars.
