Got a few other things I'd like him to look at. Mostly rotors probably need to be replaced as well.
He's a factory-trained master tech that's been working at the dealership for over 30 years, so I prefer to have him look over everything to make sure it's all good.
If you saw how much stuff was missed by dealerships--missing bolts, improper procedure, items skipped--you'd do it yourself whenever you can like I do.
You don't really want to imply that either you or me would have done a better job than a Master Technician trained officially by the Mercedes-Benz factory, specializing in servicing and tuning Mercedes-Benz vehicles for over 30 years, with access to OEM factory workshop manuals, using proper installation and German-made factory tools, procedures, and nothing but OEM factory-made parts, sourced directly from the dealership they work at (at a discount, I might add).
Completely outstanding guy, very reasonable rates, and is one of the few people that gives me the impression that they are genuinely out to help people. He will not hesitate to drive 30 minutes to your house at 6:00 AM to help fix a problem
at no charge at all, or work overnight just to finish the job.
That said, I'm also a proponent of DIY, and love to take on easier tasks myself, such as changing to winter/summer/track wheels, changing the oil, and what not. I have good torque wrenches, sockets, breaker bars, the best low-profile, high-lifting jack, and jack stands available (made by AC Hydraulic in Denmark), as I collect classic cars and prefer to work on them myself whenever possible.
Recently, I also put on an OEM CF spoiler on my daily driver. It was quite fun, but was slightly difficult as the weather is now colder, and 3M VHB needs warmer temps to bond properly.
Tools used: Heat gun (to heat up the 3M VHB), 3M VHB in two widths, 3M automotive masking tape, precision tweezers, 99% isopropyl (to prep the bonding surfaces), and a clean microfiber towel.
Spoiler surface prepped and 3M VHB applied.
Then lots of 3M automotive masking tape to help hold down the spoiler during the bonding process.
Side view
Made sure to use enough tape.
Car and spoiler had it's own dedicated space heater to help keep the temps warm enough for the 3M VHB to bond properly.
DIY is fun, but you really can't beat having the support of a factory-trained mechanic for servicing the more intricate mechanical parts, such as engine, transmission, differentials, drive shafts, axles, etc.
