[QUOTE="525iBoy, post: 143698, member: 1183"] I'ld second that. referred my freinds merc down there for stalling problem. Nathan wanted to charge 2K claiming problem was the computer. I said "NO way".. computers are the LAST thing to fail on BMW and Merc electronic controls systems... its usually the airlow meter due to the engine heat In the end it WAS airflow meter. Nathan asked for 1.K for a used unit new one. I could get a new unit for 1.2K!! and a used one for 500!!. In the end he charged 300 for diagnostic!! fees. adding insult to Injury, switching / testing airflow meter is a VERY simple job. takes about 15 min. Prior to this he charged some 300rm for an IMITATION dist cap and rotor that busted after 4 months of use!! he also changed new wheel bearings. that lasted 6 months. basically he overcharges and uses crappy parts. Also his service fees were 2x that of my friend current workshop prices in old klang road.. a honest and reasonably priced mechanic. [/QUOTE]
