At my doctors parking lot I saw a mobile service van doing an oil change and asked for a card. There are a lot of "come to you" services; everything from dentists to dog groomers and this guy I had never run across before.
Texas Benz Mobile Service

he lists the B service for $249 which is about 1/3 of a dealer.

Has anyone heard of or used him?

Carl- Maikel Alfaro, the owner of Texas Benz Mobile Service and one-man show, has been servicing and repairing my C230 Kompressor (2004, four door) since I bought the car two years ago. When I bought it in 2008 it had 38K miles and now it has 70K miles. Everything since then has been done by Maikel Alfaro and I have been very pleased with him. He is quite knowledgeable, professional, customer focused, affordable, and has your best interest in mind unlike most of the mechanics. By the way, I used to work on cars before I finished my college- mechanical engineering. Try him, I think you will be pleased as well.

I used him only to find out he does not report all diagnostic problems. I end up taking my mercedes to the dealership and had $7000 in repairs to pay for. Oil leaks, worn bushings, dirty fluids, etc. I had just paid Mike $310 for schedule A maintenance, he never told me about these problems. If you continue to use him I encourage you to follow up at the dealership to ensure you have no problems that are not being communicated to you! I spoke to Mike about me issue he specifically said I did not ask him to do an deep inspection!! ?? Really?
