I long ago gave up looking for express honesty in a mechanic. I just like to get the work done on a timely basis and also to remove the useless baggage from the car repair process. I turned to the dealership on all but one project on my MBs. For the one project, I tried a well known wrench based on a referral I got from this site. The guy did a good enough job, but tried to scam me on part of the project (repair/replacing the tach). Ultimately the dealer did the work on the tach for less than half of what the highly regarded mechanic quoted. Plus, of course, the dealer provided me with a loaner car, free coffee, and got my car washed and vacuumed.
