I have a Mercedes GLE350 that is about to come off warranty. Anyone know of a good European shop in the Western suburbs? The nearby BMW Indie that I've used is strictly BMW.

Where exactly west? Burdi and M&M in Schiller Park are very good with Mercedes. Fertech on Addison.

Thanks! Even further west though. Between Schaumburg and Naperville.

Autobahn in St. Charles. Fluid in Naperville. European in Shaumburg. Vast area from Naperville to Schaumburg. It’s worth driving a little to a good shop. Where exactly are you located?

I'm right in the middle off of North Avenue (Carol Stream), so any of these could work.

I’m on Schmale Rd just north of North Ave. Fertech is closest. Small shop. Only two lift. But Fernando is very knowledgeable. They work on all exotics from the local dealers. Probably would be the cheapest too.

Oh, wow! You're very close by then. Nothing comes up in Google for Fertech. In which town are they located?

feuer Hi amigo.

I think it is time to do my brakes again on the E90.

What do you recommend?

If you are looking only for pads, get Akibono.
For rotors Zimmerman.

Will need more work down. Variety of things I don't want to deal with.

Brake Fluid/ Coolant/
Suspension Refresh
Rotors/ Pads
I also want to refinish the Caliper color....

What exactly you are looking to replace from the suspension? To refinish the calipers they must be disassembled and send out for powder coating. That won't be cheap.

Well the car is now 11 years old on original components. it is starting to feel a little loose on bumps if that makes any sense.

62K miles now.

Probably just refresh the entire thing.

I finally had to take the GLE over to FERTECH for a 3rd gear trans shudder. Fernando was very thorough and detailed in his explanation of what was done. Highly recommended!

New to modding here. Was interested in getting some exhaust mods and an ecu tune. Where would you recommend? I live in Elmhurst near Oak Brook. I have a 2021 manual G80 M3.

Not really sure on a custom tune. You may want to ask in the M3 forum.

Seban Corp has done some custom exhaust work for my 335i and 640i. Not sure about tune. Maybe talk to Bo from BPC in Villa Park or John from Boosten Bimmer in Addison. Just don’t go to EP3
