Thumbs up Denver shops

Startech, off of Sante Fe is the best MB place in town.
I lived in Denver for more than 4 years, bought my MBs at Valley Motors on Broadway, tried several shops. Sandor at Star Tech was always the best. After I'd been bringing him my 420SEL for a while, he offered me a deal. If I made an appointment with him, usually on a Tues. or Thursday about 4:00, he would clear me a little space in the shop and have one of his techs extract the oil with the electric machine. Meanwhile I would change the filter (which naturally I bought from him!), and then put in my own oil. No charge. Excellent customer relations.

I left town before he opened his new shop on Santa Fe. What's it like?

I tried Al's ******** near I-25 and Evans, and I always felt he had a doctor's attitude, i.e., "I know what's best for your car and you don't." I could never get an estimate out of him, and the work always took longer than it should. (On the other hand, when I brought my 420SEL to him for squeaking brakes, he worked with me, trying different brands of pads until it was right.)
