Mercedes Diesel Mechanic in San Diego?

[95e300man]

I have a 1995 E300 Diesel. I am wondering if any of you could recommend a good, honest shop or mechanic in San Diego, CA.
Ideally I would like a shop that specializes in Mercedes and familiar with the various diesels.

I think the Joe's Car Studio Shop in Fallbrook where my car is currently at may be ripping me off....

Thanks,
Edward

I have been using him for several years and when something does not need fixing or parts, he will tell you.

He is a very quiet but nice person and is located on the edge of downtown San Diego

Thanks for the info. What kind of diesel(s) do/did you take to him?

I take a 1980 300sd and a 1977 240d but I see a wide variety of MB's in his shop at any given time including some that look new.

He also owns a diesel and seems to have about the best knowledge of them of anyone I have ever met.

Another thing I like about him is that if something can be fixed instead of having parts swapped out, he will fix it. Many shops that I used to go to seemed to just swap old for new parts until the problem was solved.

I had the 116 body as well. 1980 300sd. Awesome car. Well built and quite a presence. I like them better than the W123. I am also very fond of the W126 300sd. I lusted after a 1981-1985 300sd for a long time growing up. I also lusted after the W124 body style that I now own. I also owned a 1983 300TD Wagon.
