Just brought my old 240d up to Brooklyn from Houston, TX, where I think I had the best Mercedes Mechanic in the world (Helmut Merz). I am now working on finding a mechanic up here and wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good diesel benz mechanic.

Right did that, found some good leads… But wanted to see if anyone had an old diesel and a good mechanic, first hand.
