Which Mercedes Class is Best? Well, it depends on what you're looking for. Mercedes-Benz makes cars for every type of driver, so it's up to you to check off what you want from your list and choose.

Like everything with moving parts, vehicle engines degrade over time—even luxury vehicle engines. Gears grind out against each other and bearings eventually thin to a point where it’s dangerous to get on the freeway. A Mercedes-Benz check engine light can mean a variety of things. When the check engine light comes on in your Mercedes-Benz it means that the OBD System (onboard diagnostic system) has detected a problem. A check engine light will alert you to a variety of different issues from major to minor. When you put gas in your car this mo ... read more

Where many dealerships fall short of service and repair needs, Paul has taken on projects that dealerships and mechanics alike could not resolve.
