I've been to Performance Products warehouse in Van Nuys or North Hollywood, CA.

They are different than a Rusty of a Phil (from this website's Parts Shop) in that Performance Products stocks everything they sell. They have a pretty large warehouse behind the parts counter.

I guess I would also consider the guys at the parts counter experts. I've been there many times over the past 4-5 years, and the same guys are always there at the parts counter. They are all car guys, and they seem to have an encyclopedic knowledge of Mercedes / Porsche, etc. in their heads.

Remember, they're not just a Mercedes parts supplier. They supply aftermarket and racing parts for a number of different makes.
