About MBH
In order to design the conversion equipment to change the standard of the car from European to US, it is important not only to be an engineer but to have knowledge of the European and US Department of Transportation's (DOT) and Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) standards for the particular year the car was manufactured. EPA modifications also require knowledge of fuel injection systems and combustion of engine, exhaust systems and more. The DOT modification not only required knowledge how the cars would react in impact (accident) and changing those behaviors, but also how the interior react in fire and controlling the rate of burning. Then the car would have modified parts installed such as bumpers, door reinforcements, head/tail lights, seat-belts, wind shields, and more. In this case Sam would take care of all these tasks on his own and seldom received help from others.

Sam gained a lot of experience dealing with body parts such as door fenders, lights, interior carpet and upholstery, dash, console, steering, headliners as well as engine and suspension. It is rare for one single person to have all this experience with a particular car. Modern-day cars are equipped with lots of electronic control unties/black boxes that have important and complex functions, thus having an engineering background facilitates working with more complex and newer vehicles while more traditional technicians may find it difficult. Sam and the technicians at MBH attend Mercedes-Benz classes offered on the East coast to stay up to date with the latest techniques of troubleshooting and train with the newer equipment available in the industry.
Furthermore, Sam picks and buys the entire cars for resale at MBH. These cars are examined thoroughly prior to purchase, and some requirements include a fresh new look and feel to the car, new smell, non smoker car, accident-free, great engine and overall maintained excellent. If the car is not already in showroom condition it is evaluated in order to be put such condition. The most important aspect is to have reliable car that looks great. While most dealers mainly look at price and mileage, they do not know or do not care to look under the hood. We earn our reputation one car at a time. Our customers come to us for our reputation, not sent by the Mercedes factory to us.
