he charged me $100 and change for front brake pads (just the part). I called the Mercedes Benz of Beverly Hills dealer who he apparently worked for in the past.....and that is the Dealer price. As you say that he doesn't use Dealer parts, it truly proves the ripoff.



I said he charges dealer prices ($100 and change for front brake pads - that's just the parts) and he actually claimed he bought the pads "from the Dealer." I don't believe him nor is it your opinion or experience that he buys parts from the Dealer. So, Dealer prices for cheap parts so he can make more of a profit off the consumer.

Not sure why anyone would go2 this shop - and I won't be back except to perhaps meet a reprsentative of the BAR there.
