john you have to remember its unlikely theres a single "mechanic" at the benz dealership. theres a garage full of "techs" but if the computer doesn't tell them what to do they are lost. add to the equation the embarrassment of having to work on a chrysler in full view of all his peers and i bet he barely plugged the star das in before giving up all hope. send it to jason in atl and let actual mechanics work on the car
