No wonder The Diesel Stop is out of business. The poor mechanic worked himself to death. He was charging prices like he was working on his own car. He should have visited a dealer and asked how much was a 125,000 mile service and he probably would have been quoted close to $1500.00 and I know he would have hit $1500.00 if he had said: by the way how much to change a glow plug with that? That's why I can't go into business as a Mercedes mechanic. I don't know how to charge folks like the dealers do.
