Dunno...but by "reputable", they are the shop used by three local independent Mercedes shops that I'm aware of, including the shop the wagon is at now. I didn't investigate any further than that, but I'll ask about the spreader bar.

Plus, brand of tires is important. Generally you get exactly what you pay for--meaning Michelin is best.

Well...let's not go down that road.
The tires are Pirelli P6's, which I'm not crazy about. They wouldn't be my first choice, but they came with the car when I purchased it last year, and are almost new - I'd like to get some miles out of them. Still, without discounting the effect decent tires have on handling, I'm not convinced the amount of mush, wandering and body roll I'm feeling can be attributable to the tire selection.
