I doubt you would get much good will unless you were a regular customer of a particular dealer and bought a lot of new cars there.

If you do the job, I would find a good independent Mercedes mechanic if you have not already. My wife’s car is being done now and the quote was around AUD$6500.

I was rejected yesterday from mercedez but I was wondering if there is anything that I can do at this point. Thank you in advance for your time.
