Henneken Auto on Oak and Marine drive. They are located under the Oak St bridge. They work on mostly mercs, bmw and audis. Not really sure how reputable they are but I had a pretty good experience with them. They do have a pretty good online review as well.

Damn stealership.

so, I spoke to all the recommended shops and have decided to go with norwescan and she is well educated for sure.
at first glance when I saw the shop I was like wtf.. this cant be a mercedes "specialist" shop, but after speaking with her and she plugged in the scanner I was set.
her knowledge on them benz is over whelming, so yeah I ll be seeing her on tuesday to get it fixed.
Oh, and I originally made this post about pre-inspection but anyway, long story short I bought a c55 and the thing is being jerky when cold around 1500-2k rpm.
