Your transmission control module should not be filled with oil!
Protected from dust while sanding/painting parts.
Some H&R lowering springs paired up with a nice set of Bilstein shocks.
Transmission filter replacement/fluid flush.
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.
Oil change
That is supposed to be engine oil.
Airbag out.
Old 1979 4 speed manual gearbox in for a refresh. Replacing some bearings and synchros.
Needs a new magnet for the camshaft adjustment. $60 repair, not the $2000 that the dealer wanted!
Airbox removal for aftermarket intakes.
This G-Wagen needed new shocks so we imported some nice KYBs from Germany and cut the old ones out.

Parking Lot
Brake dust cleaning.
220D. A little older than our usual stuff but still a Benz
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.
First W204 C63 with a trailer hitch in the USA?
Off another one goes
$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.
Inside
Rear airbags for a W211 E Class. Arnott bag on the right. Far cheaper and a more reliable design than the old Mercedes part.

ABC valve block rebuild
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.

Lots of work just to get to three bolts at the top of the rear struts.
