I need a recommendation for an Honest MB Diesel shop - Mechanic here in San Diego, California. Any reviews, ideas? I use Jerry Tuckers All Import Service at 858-573-1118 however he only works on Japanese automobiles, so I need a Diesel Mechanic to check out the 300SD. I also need a spare tire and wheel, it doesn't have one. Any ideas, I don't really have room or space for a parts car. Thank you very much.
