When my car was under warranty, I brought it to New Country MB in Hartford, CT. I never had to pay for a thing, but the service dept. is HORRIBLE there. I brought my '06 C280 there 3 times for the same problem.. Every time I picked it up it was fine for a few days, then back to the same problem. The final "fix" came right before my warranty came up and sure enough, 1 week later it was back to the same problem. Since it was out of warranty, they told me I would have to pay for them to fix it again!! Needless to say, I will not be going back there for any problem or when my next service comes along.

Anyway, I have been reading tons of posts and am finding that everything seems pretty easy to DIY. I have never worked on any car and am afraid I will screw something up - let alone figuring out what the actual problem is. Besides, with a baby on the way, I wont be able to afford bringing my car to a dealer!

Do any of you DIY'ers live in Western MA or close by? Rather than helping online with advice, would you be willing to service my car for me? I am willing to pay you for your time and would ask that you showed me what you were doing so I may be able to learn something myself!

Thanks guys!
