In Ohio, I had a great network of wrenching buddies, at least 15 of them, that I could count on to either get under a hood, or at least laugh at me as I did the work. I had some for GM vehicles, some for Ford, and even more for Dodge.

One of these days I hope to find some that have more knowledge of Mercedes than me...as that is my toy in the garage.
