Charlottesville, VA Indie Shop Recommendation, Anyone?

I know, I know....wrong forum. Please forgive me....I need to post where the traffic is!

I am about to acquire a good condition 1987 300SDL. My wife calls this a "scheme" of mine. My daughter, who just graduated from college, was going to deplete her entire savings to buy a Civic or Camry or some such thing. When I discovered the SDL opportunity, I said to wife and daughter, "Tell you what: save your money, I'll buy this Mercedes, and you can use it for the next few years until you get your grandmother's Accord." So daughter saves money, and I ultimately acquire another Benz which my son can eventually drive! Yes, it does sound like a scheme...and a good one at that.

Anyway, my daughter will be living in Charlottesville, VA for at least the next year. So I need to find a good, completent indie shop that I can send her to....I may literally not even see the car for two years or so, so I have to find some place I can trust.

Any ideas?

Thanks so much!

I have brought many cars to Foreign Auto Center over the years. Charlton Ave in C-ville.
