Hello Fellow Benz lovers!

Can anyone suggest a good mechanic in Austin, TX area? I need some work on a 70 280sel with M130 engine. Referrals seem to always work best. I was spoiled in LA, so don't expect the same in Austin, but hopeful.

Thanks!

I've tried a couple around town. Currently I'm with Austin ********, and they're pretty good. Would love to hear of someone awesome, though.

This 500SEL was offered to Pope John Paul II, in august of 1985. The car was lenghtened slightly, a single rear seat and an enlarged slideroof were just some of the extras on this car. Oh, and it was armoured, of course.



Facts from this very cool W126 site: http://home.concepts.nl/~vlimmere/index2.HTM?3e3ea140

There was a retired Mercedes Mechanic posting on Craigslist. I have not used him but talked to him on the phone a few times. He is very smart and very talkative. I don't have his number anymore because my phone died since and I lost his phone number. Keep a eye out for him he is pretty cool.
