Good shop and mechanic in or around Raleigh, NC?
I fell in love and bought an '87 560SEL - 225k miles and needs some work.
Before going in deep, I would like to have someone much more experienced tune the engine (it's running a little rough when warm) and maybe check out the transmission, which slams a little from 1st to 2nd. Calling the local MB dealer was frustrating - they don't CARE about a nice machine like this - and besides, I am quite sure a real mechanic can do a lot more with the $800 they are asking for 30k service... So, I would appreciate any hints and experiences! Also, I'll be happy to add whatever I can find out to this thread... |

Without reservations.........
Call Ronnie King at "The Car Place".
5409 Oakforest Drive, Raleigh, N.C. 27616 919-878-5600 The hourly rates have climbed a bit steeply lately ($79. at last visit) but he is an honest guy and will never steer you wrong. I recommened the shop to one fellow who needed to have the entire front end of a 240 rebuilt and he saved over $1500. by bringing Ronnie the parts from Fastlane. Mention to Ronnie that I sent you to him. |

When I lived down in NC I liked to go to A Better Wrench in Chapel Hill. I know it's not that close to you but they specialize in the 80's models Mercedes.

Competent!
When I purchased my first Benz I found the shop here and have used him since. Brian Walker at Peak Automotive, location is Hwy 64 @ Lake Pine. They are located just behind Gole's Furniture, 363-7077. You will not be disappointed.

Check "Classic Performance Auto" at 1005 Trinity Road in Raleigh, NC. They are reasonably priced and do excellent work.

MB shop
I usually recommend D&E Quality Service. Not cheap (you probably don't want cheap), but reasonable, fair, and honest.
