I know a few years ago MB had problems with the new main seals that they were producing. We had the lead tech for the shop and another guy working on a vehicle for quite some time trying to get a rear main seal leak stopped, it was a 272 or 273 motor I can't remember. The factory tech guys said...

A funny side note. One of my instructors for the Mercedes ELITE program (post tech school, pre employment school) told us not to embarrass ourselves by showing up to work the first day with a creeper. He said that only whores make their living on their backs lol. Not at all relevant here but the...

I think I would just use a hollow camshaft

I installed 6-4ft 2 bulb HO t5 fixtures in my 17x19 garage with 9 1/2 foot ceilings. The lighting is very good with the ultra white high gloss walls and ceiling. I am however going to add under cabinet lighting once I have all my cabinets up.

Looks like the shop will have pretty good lighting but I wouldn't give them 2 cents for those racks.

Go to a local shop and ask one of the techs when the snap on guy comes every week. They may even have a business card for the guy.

I can't stand older florescent lights with the flicker and hum. I installed HO t5 light in my garage and all is good. Instant on, no flicker, super bright, and a very nice white color. You for sure get what you pay for.

I've run Hankook I pikes with good results. Nothing like a 4wd and 4 studded tires on the ice!

No reason to rebalance. They will just push one bead in and replace the stem. The tire does not move so the balance will be the same. I wouldn't worry about replacing all the stems. I'm sure they were just in a hurry and made a mistake. It's that time of year and shops are rushed to get tires in...

I can't imagine parking the cars in the garage. It would be nice in the winter though.

I went through Mercedes ELITE training out of tech school and had an instructor that was a bit intense. He told us not to embarrass ourselves by bringing a creeper to work because "only whores make their living on their backs" HAHA that guys was something else:headscrat

Hazet makes some good stuff. I have quite a few Hazet tools myself. Can't say that I've ever seen a 2722 but I can see the 2740 coming in handy for someone. Good luck with the sale!

I'd love to see pictures of the white floor!

Every technician I know moves his box this way.
