Question regarding Distronic Calibration

I’m having a body shop pull off the front bumper to do some carbon fiber inserts and they are saying every time front bumper comes off it has to be recalibrated? Is that accurate or just precautionary? Local MB shop charges 350.00 for recal. Thanks for feedback.

From what I recall , YES. .same as when you replace your windshield and you have certain options, some can be done at 3rd party shops, while others have to be done at MB.
(I am not 100% on your model)
