Pagoda services availability
« on: May 24, 2025, 13:42:49 »
Do any members in or near Norfolk or Virginia Beach know of, or could recommend a shop with experience on the W113?  I just need to know for future needs.  The guy I use has retired and closed his shop.  The local MB dealer lacks techs with 113 experience.

When I first got my Pagoda, in 1999, I went to the Amsterdam MB dealer for some parts. The parts person politely but firmly suggested I go someplace else.

Jim, seek out (on the forum here) our long time member Jim Villers. He's in the area. If there are any sources nearby for what you want, he'd surely know about them.

Jimb1231,

Jonny's recommendation of Chuck Taylor is very good as well.  Actually, Jim may recommend Chuck.  Chuck does work on customer cars, and owns two Pagodas.
