Can someone recommend an independent Mercedes shop in Houston, TX?

Found what may be a good deal on an E320 wagon, but it's going to need the rear air suspension replaced before it can be driven... hence the bargain price. Anyone have experience with a shop in Houston that does good work at resonable prices?

After doing some research, I see why this is such an expensive repair. A shop here in Phoenix said to expect around $2500 to fix this.

How similar is the E500 in the video to an E320? Our 2006 R350 rear suspension was a snap to swap out. Took an hour.

Look up Arnett air suspension for replacements.

The Arnott instructions for the E320 ( http://www.arnottindustries.com/ftpManual/A-2536RR.pdf ) follow exactly what they show in the video.
