Thanks to the vast number of mechanically incompetent do-it-yourselfers who somehow manage to find excellent legal
representation, I'm going to ask that you read the obligatory introductory page twaddle. It
contains the disclaimer, copyright, legalese, and for those who stumbled in by search engine - reason for this site.
This website contains information about what a professional MIGHT do when working on a car, and equally as important, why they may do it. If you have a something that you'd like to have added to this site, shoot me an email and we'll see about adding it. If you have a car, motorcycle, component, tool, project, or anything else of interest that you'd like me to write an article about, feel free to let me know about that as well.
This site is divided into sections and topics. Like many sites, it may be hard to find what you're looking for at first. Both this site, and the Mercedes-Benz Specification site are searchable.
Thank you, and enjoy.
