Tell them that Amy with the crazy 240D engine conversion project sent you. They did a few labor-only tweaks after I finished my engine swap that got everything tip-top.
BTW - does your silver wagon have a large Biodiesel sticker in the passenger side rear window? If so I think I passed by you earlier this week. Good to know more alt powered benzes are in the STL area. I looked at your web page - I am a friend of Maud as well... St. Louis is such a small town.

Thanks for the reference. I've never actually taken my Benz to a mechanic, and eventually it may be necessary, and its good to know where a good one is! I've also heard good things about GLB Motorworks, on Big Bend, but I've also heard they are expen$ive (every time I drive by I see a bunch of Jaguars, BMWs and shiny Mercedes in their lot).
And yes, that is my wagon! St. Louis is a pretty small town, I'm getting to know quite a few mercedes owners. I've only seen one wagon in town that belongs to someone I don't know, and there is now a 240D in my neighborhood that I need to meet. What does yours look like, maybe I'll recognize it?
peace,
