Is this overpriced or about right....
I'm debating on getting all this done...Dealer is charging me an arm and a leg for all this service. This Mercedes German Shop is charging me $2100.
Both ball joints replaced.
Both lower control arms.
Both radius Arms and bushings.
Transmission fluid changed.
AC recharge.
Coolant flush and filled.
Brake fluid flushed and filled.
Fuel fiter replaced.
Differential fluid changed.
Wiper blades replaced.
Is this a steal or a rip off?

I guess I should change my sig huh. I've been rolling on some brabus monoblock S but I sold that also. I was going to get some wheels for my whip but all this needed attention. So I'll probably wait it out a little longer. What do you think about the CL style twin spoke with rivets and chrome lip?

Sounds about right, The balljoints, thrust arms and radius arms is where the money is going, there is both a large amount of time and labor just there. Obviously you have a noise of some sort in the front suspension (usually creeking). This is a pretty common servicable item on these cars
