Jokes aside, it's just a couple of minor nags such as iPod amp install, loose door handle and a loose paddle shifter.

Of course, they don't let me talk to other customers lest I "educate" them

I have had my share, trust me. Just be firm but polite and if you are stumped ask here

Tell me about the iPod amp? What problems with the iPod were you experiencing? I have the iPod integration kit as well. So far sounds great, but just want to know what to look for down the road 
Yes, I have the firm but polite stance. I am not the type of person to get nasty. But I do get my way

low battery warning
I thought these cars have this warning? In my R500, I got an error, with a picture of a battery, and under it said "visit workshop".
Brought it in, and sure enough, bad battery, under warranty, and i was on my way. Got a spankin new E-class loaner by the way, that was very well equipped, might i add.

I do believe there is a light though because the dealer asked if it came on. There is a constant draw on the battery, now to just find the culprit. I know part of it was the malfunctioning DVD player. I have not heard anything today. I got the C230, fairly new. Question-the tail pipes say AMG but no where else on the car. Do you just think they put AMG tips on it? Cool if it were AMG huh?

Well, going on day 4 and still not fixed. My SA called and said they disconnected the battery and reset the control module and now everything is working including the DVD and they are no longer showing a draw on the battery. But the shop foreman is still not sure "why" the control module would need to be reset. So they are keeping it longer. The good news is they got me new roof rails and they are on my car They better not lose the keys this time!

I'd tell 'em it will be fixed properly when you pick it up next time, meantime you'd like to drive the owner's vehicle. (What? It's worth a try! Unless the owner drives an SLR ... then maybe no.)
That type of "service" on a GL is purely unacceptable. Did they even test drive it?
