Do yourself a favor, find a good, clean inde shop for general maint. Many are owned & run by retired M.B. mechanics. I knew my mech. before I bought my car. He is a retired M.B. mech. & works @ home & his prices are reasonable. If I have the time I still do some things myself, like change wiring harness, radiator, change oil & lube, stereo etc. Then there are those things that I go to the dealer for Like wheel alignment, replacement of ECU. Of course you must choose your inde. carefully. Don't use a shop that looks like a junk yard.
