According to Rudy Compart, who knows the CF inside and out, a number of Chrysler mechanics were trained to work on the CF. You can find Rudy on the forum or I could email his contact info. You could compare Chrysler dealer rates to Mercedes dealer repair rates and guess who is less expensive, BUT, you have to do some research with your Chrysler dealer repair and see if one of those techs are at your chosen Chrysler dealership. Based upon a couple of discussions with Mercedes dealers/parts dept., they do not want CF'ers at Mercedes, just the feeling I got. Alternatively, you could fly Rudy to your city and have him work on your CF. He is based in Chicago and has worked on HUNDREDS of CF'ers. He knows the vehicle intimately.
