I'd have to disagree with you on that. It doesn't have to have the three pointed star on it to be good. It must be researched to reveal that the part is Made In Germany however, or Austria or somewhere in Eastern Europe where all of the OE suppliers have factories. So yeah, it does take a bit of homework to ensure you get good part, but you don't necessarily have to get it at the dealer and it doesn't necessarily have to have the tiny MB logo on it. There is some money to be saved that way. Of course the path of least resistance is to just go ahead and pay the (sometimes HUGE) premium and buy the part at the dealer. And yet sometimes, you have no other choice.
Uro parts are junk. That I can agree on.
