MBV European in Charlotte performed excellent service
I brought my 1997 C230 to these gentleman on March 12th. Very good experience. All work completed same day. The only thing they couldn't diagnose was a vacuum leak that I currently have in the HVAC system. I do plan to have them take a look at it in the future as for now it is truly intermittent but it involves a very loud whistle occurring when the floor vents are engaged. To be fair, I ran the car about 40 miles after the service, cycling through different air conditioning and heat controls and I couldn't get the sound to occur. I believe they are more than capable of handling a job like this but would have needed to spend more time than I had for them to fix it.
I bought the car in July 2007 and I decided it was time to do a baseline fluid change on the majority of the fluids. Here are the jobs and charge breakdown.
1) Oil and Filter $ 42.84
2) Brake Fluid Flush $ 74.89
3) Coolant Flush $129.78
4) Transmission Flush $281.96
5) Cabin Air Filter Change $ 80.28
6) Wheel Balance $ 29.95
7) Fuel Filter Replacement $91.49
Total Job $776.11
Labor rate is about $90 an hour generally in many Charlotte shops. Many folks can do most of this maintenance themselves and save quite a bit of money, but those of you who can't or don't, at least this gives you an idea of what you can expect to pay.
They location is easy to get to off of South Boulevard and Tyvola. The shop is clean, the guys are friendly, the work was professional. They kept in touch throughout the day and I would recommend them.
