Forgot the question about Mercedes shops. There are three. They are all in Kingsport which is 30 minutes away from Johnson City. There is a dealer in Kingsport. The reason for them being in Kingsport is the huge Tennessee - Eastman Chemical company and it's associated high dollar management people.

I have used all three and currently have settled on German Motors. Rudy is german and has been in business for I think 40 years. Honest, clean shop, and has that down home friendly approach.

So it's really not the issue it can be in a smaller area.
