    Hey JT, my brother just picked up an 05 or 06 CLK63 Black Series, but he lives in Springfield, VA. Do you only service MD?
    Very nice! Pass along my info to him and I'm sure we can work something out. Thanks in advance

    Wish I would have seen this when I still had my E55 AMG. Hell of a car but wow the repair bills were scary. All work was done under warranty but I sold it with a month left on the factory warranty. I miss the car so I wouldn't rule out another one.
    Go for it! E55 is one of my favorites.

    JT does nice work. I'm about to send my ML to him for brakes.
    See you soon. Thanks for the kind words

    Will keep this in mind. Picked up a 2011 E550 4MATIC Nov 1st. At the dealer now for warranty work, but would be nice to have someone that comes to you. Are you able to file work under extended warranties? (Safegaurd/Route66)

    I generally don't work with the extended warranties but I do offer the maintenance services (A and B as well as transmission services, etc...) and other repairs not under warranty MUCH cheaper than the dealer. Please let me know if I can ever be of assistance

    I am selling my SL55 AMG Mercedes if anyone is intersted please PM me. Absolutely mint condition, iridium silver w charcoal and walnut interior, 67k miles, renntech upgrades. Just an awesome car overall. Comes with all documentation, service history and all records, one owner car. Also comes with a chrysler service contract (CSC) full warranty thru April 2014. Only reason I'm selling is I took delivery on another new car and can't afford to keep both.

    JT how would one in the DMV area make use of your service, as I see you mainly cover the Baltimore Metro Area?

    I had my rear airmatic suspension replaced 2011 E550 4MATIC, but now I'm hearing a rattling sound (similar to the sound of my finaces Honda with a bad control arm) from the front right side that wasn't there before. Also would like to have the brake pads replaced all around as the dealer used cheap pads and they squeak. Would like to swap with ceramic or whatever you recommend is best.

    You can shoot me a PM and I will follow up with a call.

    Thanks again!

    JT - Looking at a 2006 CLK350 w/70k mls. Any thoughts on this car? I read this model year suffers from a balance shaft sprocket issue which to fix requires the entire engine to be lifted out. Parts are cheap but I guess labor is a bitch.

    If I get a Merc will def be giving you a shout!

    JT - Will be keeping you in mind for service on my SLK. Haven't been happy with dealer service.

    Do you do or can you recommend someone who does body work on mercedes? I managed to back the SLK into my SUV in the driveway while in a hurry to leave one morning. Trailer hitch punched a hole in the bumper.

    EuroPros is the best in the metropolitan area hands-down. If you are within an hour of Gaithersburg it's worth the drive, stop in an see Derrick or Tom - tell'm Chris with the white BMW diesel sent ya! Derrick use to be the head painter at Wagon Works, which has gone down hill after he left.

    CLK is a nice car. As for the balance shaft issues that effects basically all 05-late 07 cars and trucks. Chances are it has been replaced by now but only a dealer would be able to look up that info for you. If you do end up needing a new balance shaft I can tell you that my repair price is THOUSANDS cheaper than the dealer.

    Sure thing. I'd be glad to help you out.

    How much bumper damage is there (scuffed, cracked, torn off, etc...) and where are you located?

    Wow! That's pretty cool. I'd love to help you "service" it sometime. Haha

    JT, soon I will be in market for Bluetech 350. I will let you know, as I may have questions and once I will have it, of course, I will let you do the maintenance.

    You have a good rep here among 2A guys, and you are also on arfcom. I wish you can expand your support to Audi and Bmws too.

    Good luck man. Only advice I can give is stick to oem parts. Its not worth saving a few bucks and having it cause catastrophic damage if it breaks.
    I have a 2001 ML320 that needs a hydraulic ABS pump. Know where I can buy a used one for cheap and have you install it?

    Potomac German auto. Based out of Frederick.

    Appreciate it :) I've been trying to do the whole buy once cry once thing. Fortunately, parts haven't been too expensive and the spread between URO and Lemfoerder hasn't been too bad.

    On a side note...I kept the car over the winter and recently in the spring decided to get it back out for sale if anyone is interested please let me know.

    Keep up the good work JT for benz service and MDS for your membership and support :-)
