With the older Mercedes I would stay away from Mercedes dealers. I know it makes you think you're getting the best job done but in my experience the mechanics and sales staff really don't care about the older cars. I've found a decent local garage and the whole experience is better. OK, no unlimited fancy coffee.
I used to feel that Mercedes given a blank cheque would look after the car properly but that impression faded a few years ago. Bear in mind this is for a one owner car that had nearly 20 years of blank cheque Mercedes servicing. Maybe just the local Mercedes garage is a bad one.
