These are very DIY friendly cars, and there are many suspension rebuild threads on this forum. The only real way to get good value from these cars is to work on them yourself, or find a competent mechanic (Mercedes-Benz enthusiast) to do the work at a fraction of dealer/Euro auto shop cost.
What would compel a competent shop to do a job at break even or a loss? Losing profit from parts and cutting labor rates is no way to run a business.
