I’m no welder other than stick welding two edges of steel plate butted together laying on a flat floor.
That being said, my exhaust guy does a much better job than that and would have charged significantly less based on my experience. For example, he welded the small catalytic converter on one side of my SL500 exhaust for $150, and that involved dropping the pipe from the manifold. Hmm. No, I don’t think you’re being too fussy. I wonder how much he marked up the subcontractor’s charge? There wasn’t anything unique as far as the materials, correct? -D > On Jan 3, 2020, at 1:52 PM, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > My mom took her 2005 G500 to the most esteemed Indy Mercedes shop in the > Boston area to have a few things repaired including the exhaust (I will not > name names).
