    Here in HoustonTexas I have had two MB mechanics tell me I need a new moon roof in 2015 S550 E. The dealership wants $4000.00 to replace it and the other guy wants $2500.00 to replace. after watching your video, I was able to re set the moonroof after three tries. Thank you very much sir

      Imo they are over engineered. Built in redundancies, designs that aren't necessary, engineered so you need to bring them in to dealer for simple fixes that should be able be taken care of at home. Great cars to drive, not to own

    I am a mechanic all my life, never work at Benz Dealership. 14 years ago I decided to purchase a 2004 E-500 4matic Mercedes with a blown Engine due to Hijostatic 🔐. First owner drove the car 🚗 in water that was to high 😳 and it suck the water from the grill intake ducks. One connecting rod was broken and six was bent badly two piston Skirt was broken the block had holes on both sides. and was also cracked with the oil pan 15,000 miles was on the car 🚗. Due to the year of the car at the time was just two years old I couldn't find a suitable Engine for the car. So I decided to repair the Engine, crazy right. Well I did it. Same Engine. Only internal parts was replaced not including crankshaft camshaft six pistons oil pump and chain. 129,000 miles now is on the 🚗. Still has the car. You're videos are very good and understandable. I like them and appreciate you. Keep up the good work 👏 👍. Thanks.

    Just purchased a shiny 2013 MB E350 with a uniquely low mileage in very good running condition. I'm still in the learning stage of its various tech features although this is my seventh Mercedes in the past 30 years! Have been watching various guiding Mercedes videos in CZcams but yours is The Best as far as helpful tips are concerned. My local favorite Mercedes mechanic can't hold a candle to you for your excellent tips! Please continue your excellent work, I am sure any Mercedes vehicle owner would appreciate your efforts!

      Actually MB Dealerships like me, because they share my videos with their customers. That saves a lot of time to their salespeople, as they can concentrate on selling instead of explaining how to use the car. Although, when I worked in sales, I've always liked to explain myself, because that's how you get the repeat business.

I’m having the coolant issue and I was concerned about getting the service message when I just bought the car 2 months ago but now I understand. I’m having tire air issues too so I was beginning to become concerned and skeptical because it had a previous owner. I learned so much from the two videos I watched. I may even change my own coolant ☺️. Thanks so much for enlightening us 😇🙏♥️

    You are a genius man... it is so handy... I will try that oil reseting warning on my GLE 300d 2016. BUT how do you do that for an older car? like my C300 2010... which does not have that secret menu... My wife uses that old car very little, only 4000KM a year and I don't want to change the oil after so little driving, that dammed warning light for service is driving me crazy. I am quite sure a lot of your followers would love to know. Congratulation again for your fantastic and useful videos... Great job.

      I was wrong, actually it works as well for older cars, I just tried it on my C300, the secret menu is not as fancy as on newer cars but it did cancel the annoying warning message, it worked perfectly. I am so glad and it saved me some $$$, thanks you again for your videos, they are very well presented and clear. I have watched each one of them several times, there is so much to learn. Thanks again.
