Nothing against your buddy, but when MB went from CIS to sequential EFI in 1991, many independent Techs did not buy the newer EFI diagnostic tools and these cars have become so advanced many of the independent Techs did not "update" their training to be on par with the currents advanced models. For example, the new STAR diagnostic digital tool is $1,500 - $2,000 and requires a fair bit of time to learn the software with decent computer aptitude.
