I had Tony and Bob's Ind't mercedes take care of a lot of work and they are a pretty good shop. They were about the only people who could figure out how to get my euro import psuedo federalized car to pass smog, so I get to see them every two years and have them fool the car into passing smog. Good shop and nice guys!

Yes, they were able to get my car to smog. I went to referees, test onlys, etc before noticing these guys were working on some really old cool cars like a 220s. I would never go to a gold shield test repair because most of those guys don't know mercedes enough to be able to fiddle with them to get passed smog. I went to one test repair shop where the guy couldn't speak a word of english but someone was letting them work on a 750il v12 bmw.

You don't need to know English to work on cars, may be he knows Greman

Yeah Tony is a great guy. Just went to him and he told me of ways to save money instead of them charging me new prices for parts. Bob and Tony's would have charged me $80 bucks to diagnosis my electrical issues for the bad alarm install job I had done at Fry's Electronics on my 190E. I went to another shop to get a quote and they started working on my car. They fixed the issue and I was given a bill for $183 bucks!!!! All for a loose plug under the dashboard. I sent the bill to Fry's and they paid. Im sure Bob and Tony's would have charged less. Lesson learned. State you want a quote and dont let mofos work on your car. Get everything in writing.

Hi Daryn:
I live in Redwood Shores, and I'm interested in taking my cars to your suggested/reliable place for service. Please provide address/phone of Tony and Bob's. Thanks.
