She looked at the invoice and said they forgot to charge us for a filter but did indeed put it in. She said "sometimes these things happen" :cool:.

So, instead of making $300 for an hour's work they only made $290 :eek:

What about all of the customers who get charged for stuff they forget to install? "sometimes these things happen" ;)

Don't know how often that happens but I bet it has at some point in the past.

Our normal service adviser is great though. When we were having the computer problems a couple months back she pretty much got us a transmission fluid and filter change done under warranty due to a leak at an electrical connector on the transmission. I had no clue about the problem before we brought it in, but she told us a lot of the 722.6 trannys do that when she was writing up the work order. She put down "Something leaking in driveway" in the paperwork to get a tech to check it out. It was leaking and they found a marginal pan gasket as well so they replaced the connector, pan gasket and filter then filled with new fluid. And they did a real good job washing it when it was done :cool:

It's OK when the dealer throws parts at it when it's on MB's dime :rolleyes:

so glad i have a CDI and not a blutech. not stupid urea tank to worry about. especially if it doesn't have a spare tire. i mean thats just dumb. if the first mercedes had a spare why don't the last

Marty,
Thank you again. Are you a Mercedes Tech, or do you just enjoy tinkering with them? I have enjoyed them as a hobby.

Bill

Just a hobby. I could never make a living at this.
