Everyone loves success stories. We can all learn from them and they just make us feel good... We have created this new home page link to share with you recent success stories from work we have done on our own cars as well as stories we have received from our customers. If you have a good success story send it to us along with a couple pictures and we will post if appropriate.

This is the time of year to get with it. From our experience here are the top repair issues that most Mercedes owners have learned to "live with". These problems occur and get worse over time. Many may not even realize how annoying the problem was until it gets fixed - and then WOW! They are exclaiming - Why didn't I do that sooner!!

 

DONT LIVE WITH THE PROBLEM ANY LONGER.   JUST FIX IT!

After much prodding by his two sons (who just happen to be in the filming business), Kent decided to commit to producing a series of technical videos on troubleshooting and repairing older Mercedes. Each will run approximately 3 to 8 minutes in length and be related to a specific maintenance problem. The goal will be to take some of the mystery out of solving many common mechanical problems that owners face. We hope you enjoy the results. Below you can view all current videos or go directly to our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/mercedessource.

Follow along as I take you through the products and procedures I will use to repair the rust on my 6.9. I have been working on rusty old cars since I bought my first Model A Ford when I was 13 years old. I have tried every product imaginable. Very few live up to their claims to make it go away and not come back. Even welding in new metal is not a guarantee that the rust will not come back. You should see some of the dozens of examples where I have seen the weld seams rust from the inside out because they were not properly coated and protected from moisture on the blind side! And NOTHING rusts faster than an oxidized weld seem. I have come to believe that unless you are restoring a valuable collector car, one should stay away from sheet metal weld replacement.

New in 2010! After years of receiving email and forum requests for tech help, the problems most customers have and the questions they ask start to follow a very predictable pattern. So to better help you find out what is wrong with your Mercedes and what parts you need to fix it we are launching a new WHATS WRONG section on our website. Each category will list the common problems, what steps need to be taken to fix them and links to the parts and instructions needed to tackle the repairs. Where applicable you will be directed to one of Kents kits or manuals for help in diagnosing your problem. We know that isolating the problem can be more frustrating than fixing it!!!

Don't forget to give your car something special this holiday season! We have taken a number of common as well as not so common parts and slashed prices just for you. More parts will be added over the next two weeks and the sale will last through Christmas day. Some parts are limited to stock on hand and may sell out early.

If you reside in a foreign country, you are welcome to browse our online catalog and place items of interest in your shopping cart totaling $75.00 or more.
