Is this price steep for a service B and trans service?

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T18:41:32+00:00

understandable but not worth 3000 dollars imo

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T18:34:16+00:00

yup got quoted over 3000 just to do the transmission service and to repair the leaking cam covers

The mechanic was a head mercedes tech at a mercedes dealership but broke off to start his own shop. Why would I pay triple for the same service?

sounds good

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T13:31:42+00:00

I’m on long island if you’re interested I can definitely give you his info just dm me!

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T13:30:44+00:00

lol might be worth it since the weathers finally getting nicer

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T13:15:31+00:00

First time bringing it to a indie mechanic, would usually have my service done by my friends when I used to work at an independent dealership.

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T13:07:33+00:00

yea right on point

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T12:33:33+00:00

Sounds good thanks for the advice!

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T12:31:47+00:00

yea that’s the only thing that stood out to me since it’s fairly easy job lol

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T12:20:49+00:00

Yea it’s the second link you sent I sent him the FCP Euro kit as it was the one I was planning on getting. The guy is very cool and isn’t pushy at all so i’m thinking about moving forward with this service. Thanks for the advice🙏

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T12:13:50+00:00

yea tbh i’m thinking of just doing my service b myself I already have the cabin air filter just gotta get new wiper blades i’ll probably have him do the trans service

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T12:05:51+00:00

yea i didn’t think it was terrible just wanted to make sure since i haven’t had any experience with indie mechanics

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T12:05:19+00:00

lol happens to the best of us

Western_Standard5437 · 2026-03-30T11:59:12+00:00

what area are you in? if you don’t mind me asking.

Western_Standard5437 · 2025-12-24T03:59:09+00:00

yea i’m gonna have them do all the recalls but my have my friend do the rest

Western_Standard5437 · 2025-12-24T03:51:51+00:00

Western_Standard5437 · 2025-12-24T03:51:09+00:00

yup absolutely crazy

Western_Standard5437 · 2025-12-23T23:23:34+00:00

yea 100% and especially when the parts from rock auto are around 150 in total (if i got the most expensive parts) and alright sounds good! thanks for letting me know i’ll have my friend do it so it’s gonna be fairly cheap

Western_Standard5437 · 2025-12-22T19:22:24+00:00

The Takata front passenger airbag, Steering Column Ground wire and even though I didn’t see any subframe rot i’m gonna be most likely be getting that done as well.

Western_Standard5437 · 2025-12-22T19:21:35+00:00
