Proof, documented proof, is the only thing that may get you a successful resolution in small claims court. They will have mechanic after mechanic explain detailed 'felgerkarb' (another word for gibberjabber) and if you cannot counter with an expert of your own, you'll lose. You have to counter their service departments people with one that has knowledge of the MB systems we have. That coupled with copies of a few forum members posts (preferably with them there to explain the posts, many small claims courts do not take affidavits), MIGHT get you a successful resolution with an award. Did you pay by CC? Contest the charge might be possible until court resolution. You have an uphill battle for sure. Good luck!
