Where do you take your cars for service here in Calgary?

Lone Star- Got fucked for 2 Grand
Continental- Paid the roach $800 to replace the fuel distributor...is worse than before
Hyatt- Got what I paid for...$3500 head gasket/Axle seals/ blah blah blah but at least they did the work that was on the invoice.

Please someone tell me Im not out of options....

Texas,

I saw your 300E (or your sis') at hyatt last time I was there and Yeah, they do great work as far as a dealer goes...i'll NEVER go back to those Lone Star cheats.

Another great trustworthy shop that I am going to do my gasket at is Alpine Autowerks. Marc is great and a few guys on here'll attest to that..

Good luck

Good luck Yeah.... what a heap eh? Thanks for the info...Marc... thats my dads name... maybe they will get along and the work will get done. Do they do body work? If not can you recommend a place that does?

Another thing about lone star is that I tipped the service advisor for getting me a loner right away....I left town for a couple of days to come home and find a message from that idiot service manager threatening to call the police if the car wasn't back...WTF? I spent shitloads of cash at that place and thats what I get?

lone star is terrible for more or less everything. terrible customer service and jacked my friends dad for about 20 G's on an e320 (kinda my friends dad fault, but still bad on dealers part). my dad takes our W202 to hyatt and its great service cheaper than cdn tire/wal mart, better work, better customer relations/service.

LOL did you just compare an MB dealer to wal mart and Cdn tire?:nut:

Texas, one of the best body guys for Mercedes in Calgary is Ernest @ Exotic Cars International...he does great work, just don't expect super fast service :) He likes to take his time a lot....

^who said i was talking bout you

zorro what i was getting at is that cdn tire/walmart are known for inexpensive work, but the hyatt dealership does it for a cheaper amount and better work.
