an independent mechanic. you'll find many mechanics specialize in a certain type of vehicle. some do bmw/mercedes some just any sort of import etc. try and find a good mercedes mechanic in your area. you can check the "good shop" section of this forum and see if your area is listed in there somewhere. the benefit of an indie lies in a usually substantial lower cost and depending on the mechanic a high skill level which will save time as well. not to mention many of the very good indie mechanics do it b/c they love the cars. of course there are some scummy indie mechanics so you'll want to keep an eye out. ask around in your area what other MB owners are doing for the service on their vehicles. best of luck
