Hi, I'm looking for a new shop, too.
I have some work coming up on the W211 E500. My current shop recently charged me $600+tx for a front airspring. I could buy exact same thing from the same manufacturer for $350 no tax. With 3hr labor (not a difficult job) I was out the door for $1000 - not cool.
Do you know of a smaller shop that may let me bring my own parts (once I establish credibility with them)? I will pay (and tip!) for good labor but I'm tired of parts price gouging.
Cheers!
