They do work on Mercs quite a bit as well.
I specifically asked them to only spend an hour trying to get it open because after that, it would probably be cheaper to just purchase a new grill.
They spent 1.5 but billed me 1 because of my request- they were close so they wanted to finish the job.

I'll bet they had it open is less than 10 minutes. Did they also fix it so it can not happen again? It's a simple mechanism and once you know how it works and have a clear picture of the parts, you'll know how to jimmy it if something fails in the future.
