In most major cities import auto repairs locations are popping up to service our repair needs after our warrantees are up. I take my 2012 to a location by my house and they are ex Master Techs that started their own repair business and I save over 60% on all repairs. They are also current' restoring my old '99 S Class Benz that's been in storage for over 10 years, Here is an example of a new one that just opened up in the suburbs of Chicago and the owners are ex BMW and Mercedes Master Techs. I suggest doing some research and ditching the dealer for service out of warranty coverage. Dealers make more money on service than they do selling cars so techs are leaving and starting their own businesses to cash in on this opportunity.

Yes I actually know. Because oddly enough I swapped them just less than a month ago. Paid $66.00 at their parts counter, crazy for a pair of wipers if you ask me, but whatever. They are still perfect of course, so I have no idea why they even wound up on that list.

New to Mercedes and new to CPO cars in general, so apologies if this is a dumb question, but coming off the back of these crazy costs from Merc dealers - do I have to have these items replaced by them if my car is CPO? Sounds like kind of a murky area from what I've seen, curious what this forums experience is.

Just for clarity it should be noted that just because something is not spelled out in the invoice/work order or summary of actions taken, does not mean that it was not done. If any dealership performs alignment on a distronic car and neglects the distronic calibration check, they are not doing their jobs. Period.

I don’t believe I even hinted that you “pulled anything out anything out of your *ss”. Furthermore, I didnt suggest in any manner that these work orders should state everything performed. I simply stated for those unaware that they do not. Whether they should or not is a different conversation.
Seems like you took something I wrote personally or in a negative light that I assure you was not the case.
Most guys on this site know I always try to be constructive. Not confrontational.
Cheers
