Any recommendations for a good Independent Mercedes workshop in N. Virginia?

Hi - I am visiting from Australia to meet our new grandson, only 3 months old. My son & daughter in-law live in Aldie NV, near Dulles Airport.

They have just been gifted a 2011 MB e350 from the other grandparents who are showing symptoms of dementia (got lost one night in car for 5 hours recently!!) .
So I hope its not a 'white elephant' gift.

Can anybody recommend a good Independent MB/German mechanic in this area?

My son is a hopeless mechanic (he's a lawyer) - because I fixed up all his cars for him.

We are loving visiting USA with its beautiful country and friendly people. Haven't seen many 911's on the roads around here yet .
Thanks
Peter - from Melbourne Australia

Welcome to the States, Mate!

No input on MB shops near DC but someone here should know. If you want to see Porsches, drive on up to Hershey, PA on Saturday morning. The Swap Meet has to be seen to be believed.

Pelicans meet at the Crab Shack.

There is an Indie MB shop I know personally, in Stafford County, Va. They are located east of Fredricksburg, Va off of Rt1, Potomac Creek Dr.

The owner as a former MB factory race technician, very pleasant to deal with. PM me if you need anymore information.

I'm gonna be looking for a good indy benz guy in/near Charlottesville, if anyone has input. The benz board only lists one in Stanton.

^^^ I worked in C'ville for a time, a small BMW / Porsche shop in 2008. I cannot recommend a MB in that area. The place in Staunton, Va. prolly is your best bet.

I have used Silver Star Motots in Vienna, Va. for the past 18-20 years with no problems. Phone 703 281 5606. Honest work, honest pricing.
