Well everyone knows that dealer prices are inflated. The fuel filter could probably be had for 20 dollars and well I dont know about the struts. Them dealers love to charge list price for everything.

I expect the parts and service departments are what are keeping most dealerships afloat lately.

Our local MB stealership...
announced that they are extending their service hours to full days, from partial days, on Saturdays. I am sure they are not doing to satisfy the consumer...

Overheard at the dealership while I was picking up some parts: R-Class referred to as an "Alabama trash can."
The car in question was on the lift with the engine, tranny, exhaust, and most of the drive line out of it. The tech told me it was a warranty job to replace a seal. Anyone know which seal that might be?
