My wife has a 5-year-old Mercedes SUV (I know, I know - let's not go there). Previously she had the dealer replace the front brake _pads_ (only): $300!! When they wanted $1200 for the front pads and rotors, I went elsewhere. Still cost us $600.
She just came back with these quotes for other work that (they say) needs to be done:
- drive shaft bearing: $475
- trans. cooler lines: $300
- ball joints: $875
- windshield washer tank: $225 (no, it's not platinum, just plastic)
- fuel and air filters: $350
And a couple of other things, for a total of $2930. Not including a new radio for $1075 because the tape doesn't work on the original (never did, but it's out of warranty).
Bloody freaking THIEVES!!!
Sick (especially because I didn't want her to buy it in the first place), Bob
