220D. A little older than our usual stuff but still a Benz
When you see this, you likely have a problem with the electrical connector into the transmission.
New brakes. OEM Mercedes pads and rotors.
DAS/STAR Diagnostics

That is supposed to be engine oil.

Interior removel required for install of a backup camera.
Cars
Intercooler pump upgrade
Drag tires
4000 miles? Tear it apart!
Coil pack replacement
Rear airbags for a W211 E Class. Arnott bag on the right. Far cheaper and a more reliable design than the old Mercedes part.
A couple S500s
Out with the old…
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.
Reprogramming. Lots of lights.
Heated seats
ESP/BAS/ABS failure
Inside
Another coil pack.
Quick OBDII scan
New, built, OM606 swap with a Holset HX40 and 5 speed auto transmission going into an S-Class. Diesel power!
S430 4Matic.
SLOW G, FAST S. Why is every car that we work on a shade of gray?

Parking Lot
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.
Airbox removal for aftermarket intakes.
“We don’t work on non-Mercedes cars”…Ok, maybe we do some stuff for existing customers.
Needs a new magnet for the camshaft adjustment. $60 repair, not the $2000 that the dealer wanted!
S600
722.6 transmission valve body conductor plate replacement.
Transmission filter replacement/fluid flush.
Fenders covered to prevent scratches as this E55 undergoes some major surgery.
Replacement spark plugs. 8 cylinder motor = 16 plugs.
Follow the driveway
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.
Another S600 with ABC issues
Lots of work just to get to three bolts at the top of the rear struts.
$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.
Airbag out.
Some power upgrades. New mid-length headers, supercharger pulley, and heat exchanger.
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.
Drag strip. Both cars Eurocharged.

Follow the sign
Correcting some previously spliced wiring.

This G-Wagen needed new shocks so we imported some nice KYBs from Germany and cut the old ones out.
Valve Cover Gaskets – sometimes fixed by just tightening bolts, sometimes not.
Protected from dust while sanding/painting parts.
ABC valve block rebuild
Old 1979 4 speed manual gearbox in for a refresh. Replacing some bearings and synchros.
