I am going to come up with an emoticon or some kind of doctored up picture for questions like this.
For now, this will have to do:
DO NOT TAKE YOUR CROSSFIRE TO THE DEALER. DON'T.
TAKE IT SOMEWHERE THAT WILL HAVE EXPERIENCE PEOPLE TO WORK ON IT.
YOUR CAR IS A MERCEDES, IT IS NOT A CHRYSLER.
Those who take their cars to their local Chrysler dealer ALMOST NEVER come away pleased. And ALL of them pay WAY TOO MUCH for the work. Seriously - $1500 for a stuck ignition switch? $340 for a new KEY? Deb Walker bought a fan/motor on eBay and took it to the dealer in Savannah - you can change out the whole thing in 4 to 10 minutes - I cannot remember what they quoted her, but I remember the four letter words she quoted THEM!
Find a local shop with a good reputation - TRY to find one that is known for working on Mercedes cars charges fair prices. I can easily see $100 an hour or even $150 in some areas. But please, how can we get the word out to people that they are taking a German made Mercedes to an American dealership and they are going to be S O R R Y ?
