I've been to Ben's. He's honest, but expensive and he wants to make the car perfect each time. He's suggested $700 repairs on items "that may fail in the future".

I've been to Phoenix. We had some miscommunication with them, including replacing a steering box that we asked them NOT to replace. They ended-up charging us cost on the part and zero or 1/2 of the labor (can't remember), but for a variety of other reasons we were not comfortable.

Which lead us to Tower on Lamar (@9th). David is honest and good. He's taken great care of us. He tells us the pros and cons of repairs and tells us what he would do if it was his car. He's worked on both the 560SL and the E420 with good results. His prices are reasonable. He charged us $0 last visit as he could not locate/replicate the noise we heard.
