Hi there!

I'm helping out my mom - she owns a 2003 mercedes and needs a good mechanic. I've been referred to a mechanic named Joe Houser - suppose to be awesome with these cars (and it IS my mom's baby). He was at a shop in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami, but supposedly moved to the W. Palm Beach area - anyone heard of this guy?

I'm thinking mom's just gonna have to take it to her local dealership...

Thanks in advance!!

A dealership would be the last place I'd bring my car, except for warranty or covered work. You're pretty much always better off with an independent mechanic that has a good reputation.

I don't have a Mercedes, but I've brought my car to Blitzen Benz in South Miami. They seem to do good work. They deal with a lot of Mercedes, other European cars, and even the occasional Honda Accord.

What do you need done? I;m not a certified mechanic but am very familiar with 2003 mercedes since I own a dodge charger and they share many of the same parts. I've done everything from simple maintenance like spark plus changes to engine swaps.

There's a place on US-1 by Grand Ave. called German Auto Care.. I don't know much about but.. but I did get a quote there once and it was more than half the price of Braman.
