Interesting that the owner states I attacked his appearance. I double checked my update and don't see where I have done so. Being clueless is a state of mind, not of appearance. I do make it a point nowadays to post and update reviews on a timely basis. It may have been 5 years, but facts do not change. As I stated in my update, this was "long overdue". My bad. I have been a long time patron of the business--going back to Denny Kahler's days. But no more, based on my experience.

Went there yesterday to get some headlight bulbs swapped out. My first time at Kahler's. Sanders was great to work with and I am considering bringing both my Mercedes to Kahler's for service in the future.
