Unfortunately, I've been paying premium city prices for kids with spanners. Hence the frustration. :/ If I thought the dealer would do a better job I'd take it there - prices are not much higher, rates for good independents here are $80-100/estimated hour plus 200% parts markup - but the first time I was at the MBZ dealer they rudely refused to do what I wanted (specifically, order a key) and so I determined not to go back. Thanks to Rusty, I haven't had to, yet. Will definitely check out Angie's list, and I will take Roger's advice on the oil changes - that does seem like a good nonthreatening way to get to know a mechanic. I tend to only go when there is a specific something I don't want to do, so it's doubly frustrating when I end up having to do it anyway. At least if they mess up an oil change it's obvious and easy to fix, usually. :) Thanks! -Tim probably going to keep the gremlin and disable the antenna, I kind of liked it today; like the dome light, it gave me a nice warm "the battery is alive" feeling when I opened the door _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
