Who would you take your car to ?

OK. I will have a choice to make Friday of which indy mechanic to take my "new" 91 190E 2.6 to, for replacing the brake booster. The current owner I bought it from said he had a vac test done ( I believe ) and it was the brake booster... so I ordered one gets UPS delivery tomorrow, & Friday I need to decide who to take it to ...

I know 2 indys who I have used, and I trust both as honest and capable . Both are quoting me right at $200 for labor & I bring the part.

1) Is a factory trained Toyota mechanic who is very capable to do this job IMO, and he is alot closer to where the car is .. A shorter AAA tow only like 10 minutes away...

2) Is another indy who is more familiar with Mercedes cars and also very trusted as honest , but he is alot further away, over 1 hour , and a longer tow. I do have 100 miles AAA so there is no cost to ether shop but if it doesn't matter who does this job, then closer is easier for me I guess.


Any suggestions ...? The car is a 2 owner and has 76,xxx miles on it ..
