This is the final video showing the incompetence and dishonesty of Maath Al-Jari (Black OPS Auto Pro, Ashland and Henrico, VA) regarding mechanical work done and claimed to be done on my 1971 Mercedes Benz 280 SE (W108). Originally taken to him for a full vinyl wrap he said he was able to do mechanical work that the car needed. I was and continue to be very happy with the full vinyl wrap. This video focuses on undoing and correcting work he had done and actually doing the mechanical work he claimed he had done. The bulk of this video focuses on the braking system and diagnosing and correcting why the system would not bleed. Now the car runs and rides better than when I acquired it in December of 2019.

Thank you for watching and your happy thoughts. Yes, the car is fixed. I charged the AC the next day and the car is totally functional again.

So sorry to see what he did, Unbelievably bad. Especially what he did with those rotors! I'm sure you'll get it sorted. Let me know if you need any little bits and pieces for that 108. Remember I have that parts car out back that has many handy bits left. I'd be happy to send. I wish I was nearer. I'd love to sit and chat about Mercedes with you in that beautiful old barn. Take care Ken. Cheers John 🍻

Thank you very much, John. You are always generous. The braking system was the last one to sort out. They bedded in very well and the car now functions better than it ever has since I acquired it in 2019. The next day I charged the AC, and it makes 40-degree F air at the vents. It is a good thing that the vinyl wrapping job was done well as that was my original goal.

Thank you for watching. You are too kind. The braking system was the last system to be made functional again. The next day I charged the AC system, and all is well. The brakes bedded in well. Honestly, the car now functions much better than the day I acquired in in 2019. Oh, and I learned a lot.

I watched this in appreciation of you being mechanically capable (which I am not) and thinking maybe I should be more DYI with my tractors and vehicles. I was able last winter to do a re-conversion (first guy did it wrong) to 12 volt on my Ford 850 tractor with the help of Rachel Gingell's video and the kit that I bought from her. I (we) did good!

Thank you for watching. Sounds like you are discovering your hidden abilities. I think it is something we develop over time due to interest and necessity. One triumph or mistake builds on another to eventually some kind of skill set. You are very kind.

Damn. I’m sorry Ken. I’ve taken it to MB dealership and they did shoddy work. I don’t trust anyone to work on my car except me. I don’t have a lot of tools to do bigger jobs. But I do whatever I can myself on my 74’ 450SL. Mercedes Benz dealership doesn’t really have that great of customer service. Are you guys in VA? My family is from VA and I live in WV. I’d love to show you my 74’ SL.

@kensshowtell Месяц назад

Thank you for watching and your very kind remarks. Necessity is truly the mother of invention. Yes. I'm located in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. I'd love to see your 450SL. It has the same engine and fuel injection system (D-Jetronic if an early 1974) as my 1972 280 SE 4.5. I just subscribed to your channel.

@@kensshowtell Well thank you I appreciate it. I don’t have much on my channel though, I’m mostly a viewer. But yes that’s what brought me to your channel a while ago.
