Looking for a mechanic - San Francisco peninsula
« on: August 18, 2022, 19:24:39 »
Looking for a recommendation for a mechanic anyone has personally used in the San Francisco Bay Area/Peninsula, both for regular maintenance as well as smaller restoration work. Could be different shops of the same shop...either is OK -
Feel free to PM - thanks everyone.

I did look and found some older threads, all a handful of years old, such as

so wanted to check since it has been a while...

Try Autohaus Klaus Nagel in Redwood City on Industrial or Burlingame Motors in Burlingame on Rollins.  Both are quality shops.

sl113newguy - did you find a mechanic you liked?

Searching through Google Maps and Yelp - I found a few names that seemed credible / or at least have worked on pagodas. I don't own an SL yet, but was advised to make sure there was a good mechanic(s) who I felt like I could work with longer term. Thus my interest in seeing who you might have found.

  • Mercedes Benz Repair in Mountain View
  • The Benz Doctor in Belmont

Sorry for delayed response @lreppond. I just contacted Renee at Burlingame Motors regarding some hardtop restoration. Thanks for the tip!

I am a 40+ year Mercedes enthusiast and for the past 5 years the owner of Autohaus Klaus in Redwood City.  Our shop specializes in classic models, and I have owned a W113 since 1986.  Besides our workshop, Elliot at MB Repair and Rene at Burlingame motors are both well qualified to work on our W113s.

Please feel free to reach out to us for help & advice.  Let's keep these beauties happily on the road !
