When you see this, you likely have a problem with the electrical connector into the transmission.

Reprogramming. Lots of lights.
Fenders covered to prevent scratches as this E55 undergoes some major surgery.

O2 sensors not hooked up + a vacuum leak.
ABC valve block disassembly/cleaning
OM606 performance build.
Interior removel required for install of a backup camera.
Inside
Intercooler pump upgrade
Water pump replacement on an E500. Generally these pumps do not leak or show signs of failure until complete destruction. Remove the belt and check for play at every oil change.
E500 wagon in for a battery replacement and a general checkover.
220D. A little older than our usual stuff but still a Benz
Heated seats

Eurocharged tune
Some power upgrades. New mid-length headers, supercharger pulley, and heat exchanger.

Some Fluids
$200 special tool to install a $15 part. Without the tool, damage of the very delicate tone ring is very likely to happen, leading to ABS/Traction control errors, sometimes right away, sometimes not for 10k miles. The magnets inside do not like being hammered.
Out with the old…
A/C repair – temp sensor and recharge
Taking off a tire.
Big Turbos. The turbo on the left is from a Dodge CUmmins 6.7L diesel truck and the one on the right is out of a Dodge Cummins 5.9L diesel. Yup, these go into some built Mercedes cars.
DAS/STAR Diagnostics
Filling up a tire
S65 Drag strip
Follow the driveway
Coil pack replacement

Off another one goes
Follow the sign

4000 miles? Tear it apart!
S600
Airmatic, one of the biggest expenses on the W211 E-Class cars. This car was in because the rear end sagged overnight requiring replacement of the rear airbags.
SLOW G, FAST S. Why is every car that we work on a shade of gray?
Needs a new magnet for the camshaft adjustment. $60 repair, not the $2000 that the dealer wanted!
S430 4Matic.
Wheel bearing replacement. The front wheel bearings on non-4matic cars can generally be adjusted a couple of times before needing replacement. We use the very brightly colored neon green wheel bearing grease. The grease seems to last forever. This is 70k miles old and still bright green.

Nice wheels on this E55
