Hi Guest !
Welcome to the 500Eboard forum.
Since its founding in late 2008, 500Eboard has become the leading resource on the Internet for all things related to the Mercedes-Benz 500E and E500. In recent years, we have also expanded to include the 400E and E420 models, which are directly related to the 500E/E500.
We invite you to browse and take advantage of the information and resources here on the site. If you find helpful information, please register for full membership, and you'll find even more resources available. Feel free to ask questions, and make liberal use of the "Search" function to find answers.
We hope you will become an active contributor to the community!
Sincerely,
500Eboard Management

If Klink is too far I would give PTL Auto & Tire a call. They are on Huffman Road and Parkway East and have been keeping my parents cars on the road for years.
Know the guys at PTL well and they are close to me as I live just up the road in South Roebuck. You from here man??
Klink is not far but paying dealer $ on both parts and labor for this one would I suspect be quite UGLY!
Perhaps, but I can tell you from personal experience, nothing beats the peace of mind of knowing that the job was done correctly (if the Colonel did it himself as in my case) or under his direct supervision (more likely). Plus if anything did go wrong, think of all the future opportunities to bust the Colonel's chops. That alone would be worth some coin IMHO!

Ascension, you are very lucky to live near an experienced and trustworthy guy like Klink.
I wish there was a Klink in southern California.

Sorta. My parents moved there in 98 and I was there for my senior year of High School (Parkway Christian) and we know Tim Wilson since he and his wife go to the church where my dad is pastor (Mt Calvary Presbyterian)
They always did good work on my family's cars but none of us drove a Mercedes at the time.
My car came with "a Klink" in Sarasota (although I find the combination of Rex and Klink to be quite a blessing) or else it wouldn't be my car, to be honest. Picking up a rare 20+ year old car that most have never seen or heard of, just leaves one at the whim of things I'd rather not be at the whim of. I get the sense there are a few in SoCal, judging by the number of these cars out there. I'm sure someone at Fletcher Jones in Irvine knows what's up with these things. No?
maw
P.S. I'd be remiss if I didn't add, however, that being on this site preceded the car, Rex, and Klink for me. The car was covered so extensively here by GVZ, GSXR, Jono, Jelmer, Glen, etc., that I felt like I had enough "support" to wade through the project. My car was "young" and pristine, but I managed to make a project out of it anyway, the way I think any 20+ year old car of this stature should be.
