Yes, I wish Benzmac still provided his input. Fortunately, for those of us in the North Atlanta area, we can still find him working his magic in a large, well established, independent shop.

It would be nice if he could answer threads, at least on occasion, like the old days.

Both my Benz's owe their long life and improved performance to his work.

I'm shocked! I had no idea that Donnie had sold the shop.

Who is supporting this site now?

Have a great day,

Have a great day,
MB Autowerks closed its doors about a year ago. I guess the shop never generated enough revenue to cover the overhead. They had a big piece of land that they developed, and the shop was large.

MB Autowerks was owned, I think, by Bill Woods, Donnie, and probably other minority owners.

The Shopforum is still owned by those who owned it prior to MB Autowerks.

I presumed that Donnie was a part owner of the ShopForum / Fastlane,etc., but since he's been gone for so long, I guess he isn't.
