Without question, John at Silver Star Motors. John maintains my 300E, maintained a 300D for me, and does great work on a number of cars owned by my friends and a partner of mine. He was also recommended without hesitation by my wife's mechanic, Mark Allen of Allen's Specialty Auto (Acura-Honda-Toyota - great guy).

Send me your email address and I will explain in private why you should avoid another shop in town.

Have you tried Autobahn Motors (dealer) in Belmont? I have not been in for any service but the parts department has provided great customer service (immediate assistance). Prices have been reasonable. Set of MBZ floor mats were $83.00. Overall, the dealership seems like a very well organized operation. I plan on going back for a wheel alignment soon.

We used to live down there. There's a shop called "German Car Care" in Redwood City--the owner/operator is a German guy named Willie--always great service, straight up, seems to really know his stuff. Been doing it forever.

Wanting toknow of any good shops in the San Diego area.

Thanks! John at Silver Star did a great job diagnosing a rough idle condition, and replacing 2 fuel injectors. The shop seemed very busy, but very clean and well organized.

Kazs Motors off Artesia by the mall. These guys REALLY price right and I have never had to take any of our Benz's back after they were done with a job. Pro's. They only use OEM parts too. People come from out of state for these guys.

I have a '91 560SEL and am looking for a good shop that I can trust in the south bay (Los Gatos, South San Jose, Campbell, etc). Any suggestions/experiences? Thx.

I am looking for a good shop in the Oakland/East Bay area. Any opinions (good or bad) would be welcome.

One that specializes in MB ?

What part of LA.? I have used Silver Star on PCH in Harbor City for 20 years. He knows MB's and will not do what is not needed. Ed

Dosen't matter what part in LA. Just anywhere in LA.

I think the reason why you have gotten no response to your post is that no one knows of any shops they could feel comfortable recommending. At least this is true for me.
