I've been looking for a mechanic. Not that there's anything wrong with the car, but I'd like to know where I'm going if something goes bad.

The various forums, newsgroups, and mailing lists haven't borne any fruit for recommendations. The only owners of European cars I know drive new ones that are under warranty.

I've had a few people recommend to me a mechanic that does not specialize in imports, let alone MBs. He's just an older fellow with a lot of years of experience and is supposed to be honest.

Sorry for being so long. My question basically comes down to if I should be concerned with finding a mechanic who specializes in imports/MBs, or go with the guy who handles domestics and imports and is supposed to be honest? Also, if anyone by chance lives in Eugene, OR, or knows someone who has/does and can recommend a good mechanic in the area, I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
