Thanks

Assuming it's not a spring perch - (Note: By MY2000 MB was not covering the spring perch with mastic for corrosion protection which was the primary source of the failure (ie moisture under the mastic))
I would suggest that you raise the car with the jack and remove the right front wheel. Note - Don't get under the car while it's on a jack. Take and post a couple of pictures of the part that fell off and the area you are referring to. In general, a body shop specializes in dings and dents and not suspension repairs. It's likely they would inspect and 'farm it out' to a repair shop and add on cost for their trouble. At this point there is simply not enough information to determine the exact problem let alone the costs.
