Morristown MB charged 160.06 for wipers

This is insanity. My mom came back with her car yesterday and was given given a bill of $160.06 for two wiperblades, and some accessory electric component to the wipers. What BS is this. Has anyone else paid such outraegous prices. Im gonna argue with the manager on Monday.

Did they do any work on the wiper assembly ? I've learn a lot about MBs single wiper system. Without looking up the info, off hand, I believe parts of the wiper assembly needs to be greased every so often.

It depends on the year of your car. Some 2000 models just need a wiper refill. The rest needs a whole wiper assembly replace....which is over $150.

Crazy? yes. thus the cost of our s-class.
