Can anyone recommend a trustworthy mechanic around Philadelphia that is experienced working on old Mercedes diesels ? Anywhere in the area would be good. I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks

I have not had any work done by this person but I did visit his shop. It is a small garage in south Philadelphia. I believe he works alone. He may be retired by now.

Another one is German Auto Specialists ( they do Porsche, MB, Audi etc...) I discussed my tensioner problem with them to get more views.
610 279 8500 They may be more expensive but appear well informed.On the subject of the tensioner, I may have solved the problem in my shop ( my own maintenance). All pulleys must be checked with a dial indicator for trueness and in my view should not be more than .1mm out of round. (1/10 mm) . Alternator shaft and pulley, water pump with pulley, a/c pulley and power steering shaft and pulley. To do this you need a good dial indicator with a range of .2 mm. Starrett makes one. If the shop does not have one they can not identify the problem.
Hey there -
The mechanic that I use and have used for about ten years is George Law and Son in Wayne Pennsylvania. He is a mercedes specialist, and has worked on a variety of older diesels including the one that he owns and drives. He has done great work on my father's 1991 SDL, which has 178K miles on an unrebuilt engine. I can reccomend him.
