He suggested to return the car to my previous mechanic to get the timing fixed, but as you can tell I opted to get all the work done at Mr. MB Motors. He also suggested to get oil change every 8K instead of 10K since my car is old. That's all folk, hopefully nothing else breaks......

Excellent.

Front and rear break pads, flex discs and transmission mounts are all wear items.

I wonder what is meant by opened the "valve cap".....

In your first post, you mentioned that the dealer quote was around $1,700.00.

Do you mind telling us what the total of the repairs were?

Also, your W202 chasses C230 is widely considered to be one of the most reliable and trouble-free Mercedes to own. It is definitely one to keep for the long haul.
