WOW! You are talented! I wish I could do stuff that complicated on my car!

But.... you can go to a trustworthy "Indy"(Independent) mechanics shop that specializes in Mercedes cars...

First... go to the shop, and just talk to the managers and mechanics if they are available...
talk to some regular customers and ask what kind of car they have and how long they have been taking the car to that shop...
look at their cars and judge how the engine condition is if they are a regular customer, if you can....
ask them if you can take a look at their mercedes specific tool set....
see if the shop is nice and clean (for a mech shop).....
try to take note if their waiting room has a tv and if it has cable or basic antenna channels... (you will not believe how much the waiting room reflects on the quality of the shop!)


only if you are happy with the shop should you take your car there... the valve job is a pretty important thing! No mistakes needed!
