Was
The Engine Bad?
Janet Stewart Migliore
Recently I had an inquiry about purchasing a 1981 300D for
parts. When I contacted the woman she described the car as being
in excellent condition inside and out but the engine was bad. She
went on to say the car stopped running about a year ago and had visited
two different shops tying to have it fixed. Both places told her
the engine was gone. I told her to tow the car to us so we could
give her a third opinion and she agreed. When the car arrived at
MBG I can honestly say it was the nicest 1981 300D I have ever
seen. I wondered how a car this nice could have a blown engine
and suspected the problem might be something else. We turned the
car over to my senior mechanic Martti and he had the car running great
the following day. Bad glow plugs and a major service with valve
adjustment saved this beautiful 300D. Need-less-to-say new customer,
Joyce Perry is very happy to have met MB Garage.
A couple lessons from this story: First, always get a 3rd opinion
on really big decisions. Second, if you have a gut feeling
about something, act on it. Finally, if you need a reference for a
non-Mercedes repair shop, please contact me. I would like all
your “repairs” to end happily.
Woman’s Tech Event Scheduled
We are pleased to announce our next Woman’s Tech Event is April 7, 2012
from 10am-12noon. We expect it to fill to capacity so if you
would like to attend call now to reserve a space. It is an
educational event where Mercedes fluids, a small service and tires are
discussed. Cars from different years will be on
hoists/display so you can see typical wear items. A portion of
the event is “hands-on”. Three trained technicians will be on
hand to answer questions. Refreshments are provided. Wear
comfy clothes – you will be in the shop area. All attendees
receive a special gift from MB Garage.
San Mateo Car Show August 11, 2012

your car in the show, please contact Janet at 650.349.2744. MB

Do I Sell Cars?
Yes, I do sell cars. Customers usually ask me to sell their older
model vehicle when they purchase a new one. I typically like to
look the car over and either fix or let the prospective buyer know what
the car needs. The asking price of car is determined by the
seller. Cars for sale are always listed in the newsletter and on
the MB website.
