Just wondering if anyone heard of a guy named Medhi from the Walnut Creek/Vallejo area. He works on BMWs and Benz.
Also, how much is

50k Service
I'm living here in NC and recently had a 50k service done on my 2001 S500. The Benz dealer told me I needed pads on all four wheels, sensors, and rotors. Total cost for the brake job about $900. Now here is the better part. They also found that my transmission seals were slight leaking........ummm, another $180. I told them that the driver side power assist (pneumatic) door was not shutting properly. I was told the door latch needed replacing.........$860 for parts and labor. And then of course they performed the "B" service $375. Total cost $2315.
It gets even better. The pneumatic door that they fixed worked fine for about a day. I returned it to the dealer today and they told me that the module needs replacing because somehow transmission fluid has leaked over all the modules. This is the modules that controls the door locks, trunk locks and a few other things. I'm told the wiring harness needs to be replaced. The estimated cost of the job is $5500. Will someone please tell me how a car that cost almost $100k springs a transmission seal leak that sprays the fluid all over the wiring harness.
