I'd heard about that place too, Will, and I think they advertised on this site. From what I heard, they are a couple of guys who worked for many years at the Mercedes dealer in San Francisco, and have a lot of Mercedes repair experience, and decided to open up a shop by themselves, it is a new shop I think (just this year) but I think they probably could be trusted. I would probably go to them, but it would be nice if they could let you watch them do the work, I always like mechanics which would allow that.

By talking to them you will see whether and how much they know about your vehicle. Just a thought, (I have never tried this) but sometimes you can get off to a real good start if you bring them a box of donuts or a couple of sixpacks of good beer, they are people too and might appreciate it and give your car some etra good attention. I 've never tried it, but it might be something to think about, it wouldn't hurt their feelings, and they might respond to it very well, I don't know). DON'T bring your own paqrts though, that's like goin to a restaurant with your own steak and asking them to cook it, they need to be allowed to have a reasonable profit on the parts too.

If your experience is good - or bad - the people here would like to hear about it, I haven't seen any feedback about the place I can actually remember, maybe because it is a pretty new shop.

This isn't some old Ford Taurus or something, it's a 600SEL, and it deserves the best of care. Hopefully they will deliver that. I think you are on the right track here.
