Yes, I must agree, Pierre is a good man who will help you out if he can. He methodically inspected a 1995 Mercedes S coupe for me although it wasn't his cup of tea, he prefers pre-92 vehicles. A genuinely nice tech that will treat you fairly. Titusville was worth the drive and I strongly recommend him especially for earlier model vehicles.

Pierre has written a bunch of great articles in The Star, the Mercedes-Benz Club of America publication. Excellent, well written articles, too.

Great industry recognition.

Pierre just got a really nice review in Chubb's "Collector Car Insider."

It makes me want to drive from Maine to Florida (especially now) just to get opinions!

I have been using Pierre (from a recommendation by one of his customers at the gas station in Tampa nonetheless...) for about 8 months or so. He has done the following on my SDL:
  1. Complete front end rebuild
  2. Injector rebuild (with supplied new nozzles)
  3. Rear-suspension bushings
  4. Installed H&R sport springs (against his advice, oil pan dangers, etc.)
  5. Diagnosed my cruise issues (had the amp rebuilt by jamesDean on another forum), then fixed actuator linkage problems
  6. Install EGR delete kit
  7. Adjusted shifter linkage
  8. Lent me a speedo while mine was being repaired
  9. Diagnosed a bad door lock vacuum pump
  10. ??? I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it used to be

In all of this, he has performed flawlessly and his advice has been sage. The one thing that he advised me against (the H&R springs), while I love the handling, I am now trying to sort out a negative camber issue and may have to go back to stocks in the rear . Maybe I just should have put the stocks back there to begin with, like he suggested? Anyway, his diagnosis is always spot on, his prices fair and his work excellent. He and Marie (his sister and partner) run an amazing shop. It is WELL worth the drive, even if it is over 2 hours, like it is for me (although my work place is closer to him), to get such expertise for my car. Spending money wisely, in an informed manner is much better than guessing or having hacks work on your car and charge you out the backside. As long as I am in FL, he will remain my mechanic of choice for my 126!

Pierre Hedary

Thids man is the greatest mechanin on Mercedes that I have ever encountered. He not only knows some things he knows everything. I left my 560SL with him for an AC problem and he fixed my problem to the extent the car AC is better than ever. When he did the plugs my 560 runs like it os new. Call him, write him, go see him. He is the worlds best Mercedes technician bar none

Pierre is just AMAZING. The internet is littered with commendations for Pierre. Although I have never met him, I have talked to him over the phone. He is extremely generous with advise. It seemed like he really wanted to fix my problem right over the phone. Once he called right back even though I did not receive a message. I was pleasantly surprised. I think that for Pierre, apart from running a repair shop, it is his passion for Mercedes and the love for them that is his primary driving force. I keep telling him I will drive from Tampa to Titusville and have him look over my 420SEL. But all kinds of things just keep me busy and prevent me from following up with it. Pierre is Mercedes God. Especially 108/109, 111, 107, 129, 126...I am sure newer ones too.
