I have always bought on-line due to prices of Mercedes parts, but this time i was unable to do so....so I was left to find some parts stores in which I could buy a Water Pump, thermo kit and Drive belt for my W202.

Without condemming all that I tried, I will simply tell you that if you are in the Ann Arbor, MI area and need fast, inexpensive, OEM parts, go to

S&G Import Parts on Stadium Blvd.....GO BLUE...

Not only did they beat all prices on-line by 20% for a OEM Water Pump, they had it the next day, called when they said they would and were kind and curtious.

The people run around like little worker bees. I felt at times that I was almost invisible, but when I stepped back and took a look, they were helping people in line, on the phone, at the counter, the back area AND each other,,,,with smiles and laughing...

The best thing was that my wife was driving home and stopped by for some MB Anti-Freeze....$14 per 1.58 qt. bottleand i needed 4....well, my wife did not have enough money so the guy says how much do yo uhave and sold her the 4 bottles at under $9 each....

It was a pleasure to buy from them and I hear they have other Michigan locations so if you haven;t, give S&G Import Parts a try...

They earned my trust and business while I restore this MB W202

Have the best one that you can....it may be the last
