My empathy to U!

IMHO

Brake pads/rotors U pay less outside! eg. MBM

"original merc batt"?

Mercedes do not assemble car batteries but oem from battery company!

krkrkr. True!

owning it, is sucking alr. Maintaining it, is bleeding alr. :fish: :Cry:

[keltanky]

all these parts are oem, can get it done elsewhere, check it with our sponsors

[Guest knighthunter]

Why rotor had to be changed? Was it wrapped? Sound like rip off, I am driving B170 as well 2 years old. Replaced front brake pads less than 200 in CnC with installation less than 300.

Battery at 500 buck is robbery. Pandan and Eunos service centers are sucks!!! Last time I wanted to slap the Pandan SA face giving bo chap looking down attitude when I am trying to claim warranty.

Forgotten to add Merc battery is not at engine bay like jap car, so it should last more than 2 years so if ain't die don't replace it.

Keltanky is absolutely right? Buy our OEM spart parts outside. It's really cheaper than getting them from AD. You'll be getting the same quality and probably at a fraction of the price you pay at AD.

Yup.... was quoted $400 by Cycle to change my front break pads. I went to stockist to buy $115 + 45 for installation. Total = $160.

going back to AD is like that for all premium continentals.

they all try to carrot chop

but there so many workshops that can do standard Mercy, why bother with AD unless warrantied.

sometimes go AD get more frustrated.
