My wife loves her 2005 SRT-6 but it needs service and we can't find anyone in Northern Virginia/Maryland that has a clue. The local Chrysler dealer has no clue what to do with it and I've called other Chrysler dealers who say right up front that they have no idea how to tune or service it. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

 

Forget the tune, it relies on hardware and software not some grease monkey with a screwdriver. Service is basically changing oil and filters and some lubrication when appropriate. See the Owners Manual for time and mileage when they are due.

 

I would except that the local Chrysler dealer screwed it up to the place that it hardly runs.

 

I guess he was a Yankee sympathizer.

 

these folks did great work for me. They are in Dulles Va.

RRT & RRT Racing - BMW Repair, Service, Performance & Racing

They installed the paddle shifter kit - flawless work done while I waited.

 

I use Eurotech, in Stafford: https://www.mercvolvo.com/ He's right off I-95 at the Stafford Airport exit, so very easy to get to.
The owner is Rick, and he is a multi-time Mercedes Master Mechanic award winner; he treated me very well with my S, and when I took my SRT Roadster to him and showed him the AMG parts, he took it on.
I find him to be very helpful, and often call him when I have something I can't figure out (good example was the heating/AC fan on my S; local MB dealer wanted over $600 for labor, and another $600 for the blower. Rick suggested I replace a thermistor (?) on the top of the unit, and it worked perfectly - cost was $155 and a nice bottle of wine for Rick!)
Mention my name and it may help (or not!)

I read on this forum that Euro Auto Care in Maryland is good on crossfires.

 

Delta Auto Care in Herndon VA.


My good friend runs this shop and he is a guru of all things European, especially Mercedes & BMW.

 

These guys are over in Rockville, MD but have heard a lot of good things about them in the past:

It's the type of place you probably want to look for, in general .... an Independent shop specializing in Mercedes but not so much so that they refuse to touch anything lacking the Mercedes logo on it.
