As many will say "there are very few good MB diesel mechanics, even less qualified ones"
Having a good feel for these motors is much more important than a trade certificate.
After all there is an old saying, first year apprentices spend their time sweeping the floor & making coffee for the mechanics. Second years get to watch. third years hand the mechanic his wrenches, forth years are considered to know everything & are let loose on cars unsupervised.
