Yet another STEALERship story! I went to my local stealership for a coolant leak. My trusted mechanic is now somewhat difficult to get to being that my new job takes me far in the opposite direction. So I though I'd give my local dealership a try. They said I needed an new radiator - this I did need, but then they told me that I needed a new power steering pump as well as coolant overflow tank (which I did not) as well as saying that my throttle cable was loose (which it was not) - anyhow there estimate was $1200 just to do the radiator! So I took the time to go back to my trusted mechanic who did the job for $800.00 (not cheap but still saved $400!) and also confirmed that I did not need the other items mentioned above.

If you are ever in the SoCal area I highly recommend swining by Mr MB Motors in Tarzana. Enrique is honest and knows his stuff - MBZ mechanic for over 40 years!
