South Jersey benzs owners avoid rip off mechanic

Hey my friends if you need mercedes benz repairs cease using Eurostar in Cinnam NJ off 73, Meni, he is a dishonest business and overcharges for almost all your repairs. He states his labor charge is 70$ per/hr quoted $600 to replace altenator in ML 300 for part 300 for labor 300. 70 x4= $280 plus 20$. I bought part 190$ installed about 1hr of work saved 410.00. replace side mirror switch in S430 quote 75$ I bought part put it in for 20$ by other tech seat switch on S430 he quotes 125$ to blow dry switch bought switch installed free, charged 455$ to replace crank position sensor part cost 89$ takes 15mins to install remove screw unplug and reverse to install part cost 117$ for part. He quoted $500 to replace power steering pump in Audi A6, when get to shop now wants $1000, had pump rechecked by another shop only needed special fluid recommended for that car repair cost $23.53. Never gives you an itemized receipt or show parts he says replaced if you don't ask he won't give you a receipt.
