Jacksonville area shop
 

Reviewed most of the threads for the best MB repair shops in Florida, but did not see any recommedations for the Jacksonville area. Unless somebody out there knows a place, it looks like I'm headed to Gainesville or Daytona for repair work on the 98 C280.

Hello tj4321
 

I separated your post as a new thread.
Several times I have looked for Jacksonville, FL area MB shops.

Atlantic Imported Auto in Jacksonville, Fl in my experience has been excellent in all areas. Pat is a fair, honest man. He may tell you what you don't want to hear but it'l' be the truth. He took care of my 1991 300SEL and 1988 300SEL.

Anybody Ever Delt With Pulidos On Beach And Alantic? Im Thinking Of Taking My 1997 C280 There. I Took It To Prestige Imports On 103rd Wont Do It Again It Sat There For A Year With Nothing Done To It

I have used Pat alot in the past, he is a good mechanic with good prices. I don't recomemnd Herndon's though.

Another vote for Pat at Atlantic. The great test of a mechanic's honesty is how they treat one-time out-of-town customers, and he passed with flying colors.

Another vote for Pat at Atlantic Imported Auto!

They are knowledgeable and competent in all areas (unlike our local dealers), and fair and honest with their prices on top of it (unlike the other local independent shops). I have tried just about everybody in town, and A.I.A. is the only place I'd send my friends to.

GOOD SHOP in JAX / St Augustine
 

Im not sure if I found it here or on another forum but I had heard good things about Coastal Automotive & Diesel in St Aug.

(904) 829-0036
232 State Road 16
Saint Augustine,FL32084



I just took my 98 E300D there for an AC issue that was driving me nuts.

John (the owner) and his desk man Dan were both friendly and knew about my diesel. They were very fair with pricing! and very through...

I would GIVE THEM 2 THUMBS UP... and I will return again with my other cars.

Pat at Atlantic Blvd is very good too

I visited Pat's this past week and was very happy with their service and thoroughness. They discovered the issues with my cooling system, and electric fans, that I was simply not able to diagnose. She's now finally running at normal temps, even during a Florida Summer with A/C blowing full.

They also inspected my vehicle as part of their service, and found a few things that I was not aware of. For example, I have some sort of leak that lead to moisture in my spare wheel well. My trunk seal is tight, but I think with all the rain here in NE Florida I'm going to replace my Hirshmann antenna seal.

Going back soon to replace motor mounts and finally deal with the m104's common oil seapage issue.
