Yes !!!!!! At last I have a Benz mechanic that does not charge an arm and leg for service. He was a master mechanic at a Benz stealership and opened up his own spot.

I just had my rack and pinion replaced(supplied my own part). Mercedes wanted to charge $800. My man charged $375!!
He charges about $150 for schedule A service and a little over $300 for schedule B service. Thank God for this guy!!
