From time to time I do work on cars other than Mercedes Benz. Sometimes it is painful and in the process, it reminds me why I like working on Mercedes. So was the case when I took on working on a 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser with a loud engine knock. This knock piqued my interest because it sounded like it was moving around in the engine. At first, it sounded like something in the valve train.
Have you ever wanted to make a cross-country road trip in a 30 plus-year-old Mercedes? I have always thought it a little “risky” unless the car was thoroughly checked over. I usually recommend if you are purchasing a car that old from “afar” you might want to consider having to truck it to your location.
"So how did you happen to go from being a pilot to getting involved with older Mercedes Benz?" This is a question that Kent gets ask a lot. Most of us can recall those seamingly insignificant events that end up changing the whole course of our lives. CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO LEARN MORE. So was the case here. It all started with a 1982 240D in the early 1990's.
This W210 wagon recently was on our lift for a complete inspection and service and it took 2.5 hours to get the four wheels off. Can you understand why Kent is not happy? CLICK ON PICTURE TO READ MORE. The lug bolts were put on sooooooo very tight by a tire shop that they were next to impossible to get off. We are talking well over 200 fount pounds on each lug bolt.
Our primary focus is providing solutions to the most common technical problems that owners face on the early 1960's up through the early 2000's. These include the W110 W111 W113 W108 W109 W114 W115 R107 W116 W123 W126 W201 W124 R129 W140 W210 W211 and W220 chassis. As time goes on we may be adding some of the other models as well. If you love those Mercedes gas and diesel models and are a do-it-yourself ( D.I.Y. ) mechanic you have come to the right place. Even if you have never worked on a car before we can help teach you how to fix those little annoying problems, improve mileage and performance and save hundreds of dollars in the process.

Hi Kaia, Thanks for the Ponton Sedan 219 220S Factory Book Set. I have got two Pontons, a 1959 219 and a 1959 220s. I intend to restore the 220s to show condition.
Here is my Mercedes 1979 300sd and my wife Bety in this years' car fest hosted in McAllen TX. I was the only mercedes in the whole show of 300 autos.
Dear Kent and Kaia,
