MERCEDES WANTED TO CHARGE ME $4000.00 TO HAVE IT FIX SO I TOOK MY CAR TO A FOREIGN CAR REPAIR SHOP WHO CHARGE ME $1,300.00. PROBLEM FIXED, HOWEVER I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR TO MERCEDES BECAUSE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON SO THEY CHARGED ME $2,100.00 TO FIX THAT ALONG WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE. *TR
