Virginia Beach, VA... https://www.europeanautowerks.com/ Not cheap but no games played at the same time. Had the dreaded ABS BAS/ESP issue and a standard OBD2 scanner can't read those ABS codes so I would have been in the dark throwing parts at the problem. They could have sold me a bill of goods but they were honest and diagnosed it as a left rear wheel speed sensor gone bad. Not cheap but better than filling my trunk with perfectly good parts going on a ghost hunt. This shop specializes in Mercedes primarily and isn't afraid of older models so it's a perfect fit for my Crossfire. When I told them my '04 XF will scan as a 2003 SLK 320 they knew that already and said they have worked on these before. I can tell ya one thing, there are far hotter cars sitting in their lot awaiting service than my '04 Crossfire so this place seems to be the place to go when ya need to get out from under the shade tree and pay for work ya can't do yourself and want it done right.

 

If not mentioned before, here is one owned by a Crossfire owner:
Dunmyer sales and service 3173 Lincoln Hwy, Stoystown, PA 15563. Ligonier area

Also, this was recently announced on Facebook:

 

Anyone know of a good repair shop for a 2004 Crossfire with Mechanical (won't start) and electrical issues near Suwanee, GA 30024?

Thanks,

Lance

 

"Won't start"is an electrical problem. In numerous places on this forum, we have published the DIY technique to determine if it is the RCM. RCMs are inexpensive ($150 or so) and can be changed without tools by ANYONE.

A bad RCM causing a no start is probalby the #1 most common issue with our cars.

Get in the car.
Turn key to "START", if the starter does not engage, release key to "ON" and wait. If the engine fan is running fast after 30-40 seconds, your RCM is bad. Getting it fixed by DJ in Arizona or ordering a new RCM will get your car running.

If the starter engages, but the engine won't start, we have a few more tests to do before we know what direction to go.

 

Do what Pizzaguy said he’s smart as hell. But in the future if you need a shop I just took my Srt to Global Tires in Lawrenceville. Good dudes over there and they work on tons of exotic cars

That looks like a cool link, punch in a zip code and there they are. $30 bucks a month minimum (and a tiered $ fee after 'options' to be listed there though. Something to think about?
