Hi guys,
Can anyone recommend to me a good MB mechanic within 150 miles of Akron, Ohio. That includes Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, and maybe Detroit. My 77 240d has a lot of little problems that I just need someone to diagnose - I can do some of the work myself. I need one of those old guys named Clem or Red who has been doing this forever and is expert on MB. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Kip Amore

I can't recommend a mechanic in Ohio but it is interesting to see another person named Kip

I do all the work to my car myself, but I have seen two places that look promising. I'm in Canton, myself. On one of my routes for work, I pass a garage that always has a nice variety of benzes and other German cars in the parking lot. The cars seems to circulate quickly (I rarely see the same car there twice). I'm not sure what it's called, but it is located on 241 just north of Canton/Akron airport. Also, I have had countless people tell me that there is an indy with a shop located on Cleveland Ave. somewhere in N. Canton. From what people tell me, I want to say it's somewhere near 55th or W. Maple. My friend (who is on the other side of the world, so I can't ask him) is a VW enthusiast and says this guy has a thick German accent and is in his 60's, two points of credibility in my book! This second might be your best bet if you can find him. I'll look into it and repost if I find out anything else.

Okay, N. Canton, if you're driving North on Cleveland Ave., it's on the right side of the road between 55th St. and the El Rincon Mexican Restaurant.

The person you want is Aaron Greenberg. His username here on Mercedesshop is simply "Aaron." He specializes in older MB's. You should be able to find him by clicking the "Members" link near the top of the page, but if that doesn't work post back here and I'll try to track him down.
