a friend in OEM outside sales, 8000 miles every month.
He bought the E300D on my advice.
His repair bill dropped 70% since he got it, and his spinal problems are gone.
He takes it to the stealership every three months.
Always has at least one bad steering component.
He keeps the parts and I drop by for an adult beverage, and look over the parts.
His average alignment is $240.00 every three months.
I am teaching him how to do steering repair and simple alignment.
He nailed one out of state stealership, trying to sell steering components not needed.
