Agreed...unless he's unaware of other work that looks like a rip off.

Half the MB expenses are easily DIY and it saves you ending up getting utterly ripped off. If I had a dealer do the work I've done on my 300TE I probably would have spent $25k in the last 10 years. I still justify that what car can I buy new that will cost less than $1300/yr? Can't buy a Camry for that...monthly payments would be $3k/yr alone.
