Thanks - I guess I should just start learning my way around this car too. Sounds like I shouldn't take the car to either of these mechanics, and they are the higher rated ones in my area. I've been a bit intimidated by this car as it's much more 'electronic' than my '89 300TE. But it sounds like I need to choose between doing it myself or getting charged too much.
