97 SL320,

Sincere apologies if my poor choice of words has offended you. I have deleted it from my post.

In my case, my dealership has charged me over $4k for the last 2 jobs, which involved changing out of parts which were not even broken. (The problem resurfaced 2 months later). The offensive word I used was learned from other forum threads talking about similar experiences.

That being said, I would agree that my bad experience does not mean that all dealerships are bad. And hence, it is not right to label all of them in this offensive way.

Thanks anyway for your past advice / tips. It is much appreciated.
