You live in Southern California.

I might be wrong, but I think you live in the Santa Clarita area.

I live in Diamond Bar, and I take my car to the famous Enrique at Mr. MB Motors. It is 51 miles from my house to his shop in Tarzana, but it is worth every penny.

I had a fault code #26 problem, upshift delay valve, that the dealer and two independent MB mechanics couldn't fix.

He did.

Do a search on his name and you'll get a ton of hits.

I'd also suggest checking out the OVP.
