Specialty

Mercedes-Benz

Engineered like no other car. Serviced like it, too.

Mercedes ownership out of warranty is a fork in the road: dealer prices, or a shop with XENTRY diagnostics and the patience for German electronics. We're the second one. From C-Class daily drivers to AMG weekend cars.

The failures we actually see — and what we charge

Real prices move with parts and model year; these are honest starting points, not bait. Every job carries the 36-month / 36,000-mile warranty.

AIRMATIC suspension leaks

from $1,240 / corner

Symptom: Car sags overnight, compressor runs long, 'vehicle rising' message

Strut or spring replacement with OEM Arnott-or-better units

M272/M273 intake manifold flaps

from $680

Symptom: Check engine, P2004-series codes, flat low-end torque

Updated manifold or repair kit depending on wear

Oil cooler seals (M272)

from $890

Symptom: Oil dripping at the V of the engine, burning smell

OEM seals — a labor-heavy job worth doing once, properly

13-pin transmission connector leak

from $210

Symptom: Fluid wicking into the harness — a $40 part that saves a $900 module

Connector sleeve, fluid top-off, harness inspection

Hearing one of those symptoms? Diagnosis is $175 for the first hour with factory scan tools — credited to the repair when you approve it.
