I had a good experience with MR. MB Motors in Tarzana, California. Even though the car looked like it was craps and not taken care of I got the respect and service I needed. The Alternator and shift bushing were replaces with an oil & filter service . total bill was $400.00
Then this Tuesday I spent 10 hours detailing the old Benz so next visit will commmand some better attention. I recommend if you can always wash the car before you bring it in for service. Some mechanics figure if the car is not cosmeticly taken care of why should they do their best.
I was very impressed with the owner Enrique and though he is out of the way I think the drive is worth the good work he does.
