« on: August 17, 2016, 20:58:05 »
Can anyone recommend a competent mechanic/technician for a 190 SL inspection in the Knoxville, TN area?

Check the Vendor list ... Sort by location then see near your area if there is someone ... I would then let my finger's do the walking as they say for use of the Yellow Pages :)

Link is here ---> http://www.sl113.org/wiki/Suppliers/Start

Click on Address or Telephone heading to sort the data. In the address listing I see only one in TN.

Good Luck, Dieter

Ralph,

Did you try the Member List above?

If not, click on "Members" then "Member List" once it opens click on "Location" to sort the list and go to page 43, there are a few active Members from the Tennessee area perhaps you can PM one or two and find a Mechanic,

Good suggestions both,  I have sent a PM to a couple of our Knoxville members.  Will also try the 190SL site today.

Thanks,
