Nice!

My BMW X3 has a HEPA cabin filter. The crooks at the dealership tried to get me to pay over $300 ($351?) to have it replaced when I took the car in for a safety recall. They had many other items on their "must do list" that the car's computer had not alerted me needed changing. I asked for a WRITTEN QUOTE to take home and consider since all I wanted was the recall notice taken care of (Child safety restraint issue... probably have to have it fixed to sell the car.) The CROOK would not let me have one but finally offered to let me take a camera photo of what he wrote on a pad.

Took the car to my local service station I trust and they changed it for about $75... $50 for the OEM filter and a few bucks for the labor. I watched YouTube and probably could have changed it myself, but I'm trying to use my $ to make my life easier AND help local businesses....

Also, my car didn't tell my shop guy it needed a brake fluid flush until this year.... Ten years after buying and several years after the crook told me to change it.

My biggest problem with Mercedes is they are also famous for being very expensive to repair and maintain... but it is a nice car for sure!
