Title pretty much says it. Got a warning light on the Mercedes, battery/alternator "get thee to a workshop". A VOM is showing only about 12.6 volts on the terminals when running.
I hate paying to have car work done, and could probably do it myself if I had all the correct torx type sockets. But damn, having looked at the procedures I found online, it looks like it could be quite a bitch. So, should I dive in, and try it....OR..... Bite the bullet and pay. If I do, does anyone have a Mercedes guy they would recommend in the Oakland, CA area? |

Not a Mercedes guy per se, but my goto mechanic for the daily driver Jetta is Joe Fink from Finks Automotive in Alameda.
