Also the local parts store didnt have any tune up parts but the plugs, what else should I be changing, and is there a decent source for parts in the Detroit/Auburn Hills area?

If someone knows a good local mechanic that would be nice too, I live currently in Windsor but bought the car for my GF, she loves her baby benz, but I'd like to get the car perfect.
