Car is in Terrible Condition after Picking it Up at MB Dealer

Okay, at the risk of sounding like a woman, I just want to cry. Went to pick up my car this a.m. Recall that 5 glo plugs were replaced (glo plug #4 is frozen), new belt installed, new disc installed.

Turned the car on and, in addition to the car shaking when 1st started in the cold, which it did before I brought it in, it now makes this HORRID clanking sound when it starts and as it keeps running.

Additionally, my coil light on the dash does not work, i.e., you turn the key half way until the coil light goes out and then you start the car. This feature worked perfectly prior to bringing it in to Millenium Mercedes, now it is dead. Asked this young mechanic why and he said because Glo Plug #4 does not work. We told him that is not true because 3 glo plugs were not working before and it worked just fine, now only 1 is not working and it is broken?

This is a nightmare. This is (was) a gem car. Ran so beautifully, everything working on it. Bring it in to a mercedes dealer and $920 later, it clanks and does not light up.

We left the car there and did not pay for the repair. It is Saturday, but Monday the manager will be in and we will complain to him.

Please advise as to what went wrong. I feel like my beautiful 9 year old car which was close to perfect a week ago is now ruined.

Thanks in advance,
Diane
