Sadly for the average MB owner, there aren't all that many MB dealerships nearby in the majority of the country. Except for the wealthy MB-laden areas of course (east coast....Chicago areas....Florida...CA....etc..) In my entire city here, 2nd largest city in Michigan, we have one MB dealer. Thats it. Thankfully they do care and do a good job on our older cars (when we need them, which is very rare).....but for many they may not be so lucky. The nearest next MB dealer to me is just outside Lansing, MI (capitol) and thats about 85 miles away each way. No one is going to drive 150+ miles to go to a dealer....especially at current fuel prices. I certainly wouldn't. My dealer is 17 miles away round trip as it is....they moved too, used to be ONE mile away. Oh well.
