MB Dealer or Local Independent
Hi,
Hoping for some advice, I have a CLS 63 AMG (2012) it appears to have a possible differential issue, any opinions on who would choose MB dealer over Independent shop? The MB dealer charges 150.00 per hour I believe, the independent 138.00, not a big savings. Any thoughts? It has clicking and thumping sound that appears to come from the rear passenger side axle, mostly at very low speed, on the highway it isn't there, but consistent when letting off the gas at low speed. Thanks!
Also, any recommendations for the Denver Area for a reputable shop would be very much appreciated.

The labor differential is miniscule; I would go with the dealer. If not, however, here are some recommendations.
