My mother just moved to Salem and is having an intermittent problem with her baby, a 60,000 mile 1986 560sl. It's got some sort of problem where it wouldn't start, then the Salem dealer cleaned the fuel lines, then pulled and cleaned the gas tank. Now, it apparently runs ok, but dies when it turns right. The Salem dealer (stealer?) wants to put in $3,000 worth of ignition control module and CISE injection moduel (whatever those are???). I think they are just going to replace stuff til she runs out of money.

I think she needs a good shop that knows how to troubleshoot an older car. I've read good stuff about MBI in Portland on this site, but it's all a couple years old. Anyone have a current recomendation? She'll take the car to Portland, if necessary, but Salem would be much more convenient.

Oh - I also found this - anybody heard of this guy?
"VIP Import Service". The guy's name is Tony. He used to run a shop in Damascus. He's very reasonable, and very honest.He is very legit. His number is 503-519-4828"

Thanks!
