Any good shops in Des Moines area?

My friend's '94 e320 transmission is leaking, most likely from the front seal. He is in the Des Moines, IA area right now and needs to get it fixed ASAP. Does anyone know of a good shop to send him to?

Anyone want to trade an old Volvo for an '87 300sdl?

Thanks, he's checking on them right now, the tow truck driver told him that Beckley is closed (for good).

Just for future reference, there is a "Good MB Shop" forum with listings by state!

I had them do some work on my 300SD and they did a good job.

When I called Beckley to ask about glow plug replacement, they said that they wouldn't guarantee the work because the car was so old.
