Hello everyone trying to see if I should go ahead with the service that I need and at the price that I am looking at. I went to get service b done for my 2003 E55 at MB they charge $296 from a friend hook up retail is $498. Anyways they give me a list of what the car needs which is rear brake pads down to minimum, front ball joints, front thrust arms and bushings and valve cover gaskets. Labor and parts $1500.. Should I go ahead and do it. Or will it be more economical for me to do it and buy the parts. Please help have app this morning if I decide to go with it. Thank you

For $1500,,,,,I wouldnt even think about doing ball joints myself. Gotta do the maint. Keep up on it like you are and you will have fewer issues down the road. Maint. is key IMO!
