THis still begs the question, where is one to have good Sprinter service in the Northern Virginia area? Any positive experiences? Drive to PA, Drive out to see Dennis in Colorado?
I tried Fleet Authority in Fairfax and won't go back there. Seems like a nice guy. Friendly, talkative. But charged me $500 labor to replace glow plugs and wanted $700 labor to replace a turbo resonator. I had him do the glow plugs before I knew better, but wound up doing the turbo resonator myself in about an hour, as a rank newbie (with a friend who knows cars but not T1Ns). I would trust-but-verify-knowledge at New German Performance in Manassas; they did shocks & lifts on my VW Sportwagen and I've been talking with them about shocks/struts on the T1N. Not sure how much T1N experience they have. But at least they know German vehicles in general? Everything in this area is going to be expensive, but I think they're honest at least, and fair in their pricing, from what I gather asking around.
