Yep, but I've already paid for my access and was suggesting that I could help, which I've done.

IIRC, the MB EPC is free for the first year and ~$25 annually thereafter. It is VERY worth the effort to get it. Any MB, any part, it's there.

I found that I can look at a car to get a part number then enter the part number into their search engine and then find out what other vehicles have it. Makes it much easier to get what I want at the local salvage yards.

Nope, its free for USA car access. I'm on my 2nd free renewal as of a few days ago.

No fee. $12 a year to access "world cars".......otherwise free. My first year I paid like $14 or whatever it was, but the two years since have been free.
