I have recently lost a mechanic who was so good he ruined me for all others. I have a 1976 European model 280 E and I live in Los Angeles. Anyone got a lead for me?

Search and Ye shall find....

Thanks, Dan, for the link; unfortunately, it yielded nothing in LA. Surely there is at least one good shop in all of Los Angeles! I mean, this is the Mecca of vintage Mercedes. Alas…

Enrique Rodriguez, a Spaniard from South Africa who once managed service departments there and in Los Angeles, is honest, skilled, reasonable and very friendly.

If you're on the west side and the valley is too much of a trek give Tony Caldas a call at Europa Motors. He's a superb one man operation who is upfront, knows his stuff, and maintains personal attention while keeping costs to a minimum. at 1924 14th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90404. (323) 392-3229. I was first a customer and am now a good friend. He too is from Spain....what a small world.

Hey Dana, did you put a ski rack on your 2.5? I thought I saw you on the 210 East around 6PM or so a few weeks ago....that car is rare I thought I saw you driving it.

Akwva, I agree with Enriquez.

Dana and Curtis,

We need another diesel meet. Got a wagon last December, see my sig.
