Always use a shop that has experience with German cars like All German Motorworks or AutoMasters.

The 3 Rules for Mercedes:
1. Always use Mercedes OEM/Approved parts and fluids.
1. Always use Mercedes OEM/Approved parts and fluids.
3. There are no exceptions to 1 and 2.

Use Textar epad brake pads. They take a few hundred miles to beak-in but then have tenacious cold/hot grip, superior longevity, and no brake dust.

I have requested a numver of times to TV to build a car service center with a couple of bays for us doityourselfers. Charge maybe $5/hr for bays/lift to pay for a expert/safety guy to help with tire change/balance equipment and such. If more DIYers (I am sure there are MANY) make that request, they might just do it regardless of liability concerns.

Always use straight sae 30 in your golf carts down here in Florida. Walmart usually carries Delo and Rotella 30 but if not, their 10w30 will do.
