So are you paying the bill for this or is the seller? If seller, I pick Toyota guy since he's closer. If it's you, I still recommend DIY. A brake booster swap is one of the less difficult repairs you can do to a car, Mercedes or not. The only part people seem to have trouble with is getting the brakes bled after they put the master cylinder back on, and there are extensive threads on this forum describing how to accomplish that.
