92 300D 2.5Turbo timing chain DC area

My neighbor has a 92 300D 2.5 Turbo and it is in need of a timing chain. It makes all sorts of wild noises and he doesnt have the time to take it apart and check it out himself.

Ive heard many people talk about a few good shops in the DC area that work on these cars. I tried searching but came up with nothing.

I work on the VW TDI engine all the time, and know how different the diesels are, so I want someone who knows the MB diesels as well as I know a TDI.

If anyone has any good shops in the nova/dc/md area, I'd appreciate hearing about them.

Thanks

Mitch Carr's auto service in Kensington, MD...

A TERRIFIC indy shop! Works on nothing but Mercedes...always fair prices and great work, and VERY NICE people! Mitch started out in business 20 years ago by driving around better neighborhoods with a stack of mimeographed flyers, and putting one under the windshield wiper of every MB he saw that looked like the owners cared about it. He's built a really successful business just on word of mouth. Phone # is (301) 493-9460...ask for Mitch or Hal...say Jim Beek recommended them.
