From what I can tell this dealership doesn't mess jerk around their customers or bs them. They're on a whole different level from the ones around me.

They never hesitated to loan me a lovely 2014 E-class with 44 miles on it. They handed me over all the documentation they did and the before/after alignment paperwork. For some reason the dealer near me refused to do so.

They took pictures of the control arm rust for me and emailed them to me.

Plenty of money up there too. My first stop up there there was a nice AMG SLS parked in the service line up. Last week a new Ferrari ripped through.

While we're here, care you give you opinion of the alignment they gave my 300D?

Its poor quality scan. Inverting the image makes parts easier to read. Looks like they used a different machine than the 420 was on..

If these numbers were produced on a W123 / W126 I don't think I'd be impressed. The adjustment of the camber for example would have been quite trivial to get closer to specifications. I have to wind my neck in a bit though because this was on a W124 - when I get my own suspension back together on my W201 and I do my own alignment I'll have a better idea of what's involved. Two eccentric bolts - seems simple - probably overly simple and possibly quite frustrating to get right - we'll (I'll) see.

I hope I'm not going to be disappointed with my abilities. For my W123 I reckon I can get the numbers bang on...
