I would recommend Luxus Mercedes Specialists in Manassas, VA. He has been in business for many years and offers very reasonable pricing. Here is a link to his website MERCEDES-BENZ SERVICE. REPAIR. PARTS

Don Pool Mercedes in Arlington does very good work, however I do find they are very expensive too.

Hope this helps!

We used to to Heinz Kesterman in Alexandria, but we no longer have a German car. we were always happy with them. They work on a lot of Mercedes and Volvos.

Love love love my mechanic in Annandale. They work on everything.

Backlick Road Service Station - Annandale, VA

In retrospect, not sure if they do german vehicles, but I'd absolutely call and find out.

Do you have an actual failed inspection sticker on the car with required work listed or is it just recommended work (ie you'll need new tires/brakes soon etc)? If your car hasn't failed yet just take it to any gas station (they'll likely pass it) and then you can budget or plan on getting whatever work you may need done over the next year.

I will also throw in Curry's. They work on foreign cars and have locations all over NOVA.

Have you tried Foreign Car Service in Old Town? They've been around a long time. I have no specific experience with them (don't have a MB), but they have a good reputation.
