Mercedes parts reviews

Amazon is where I ended up buying. Depo brand. They've been great.

Akebono pads are pretty quiet and fairly clean too. They are OEM on some Mercedes. They are on my wife's 91 Cabriolet [w/Scirocco 16V F/R disc brakes]. Zimmerman rotors are pretty good. So are Textar.

Same dealer charges 185 to do the oil change on my c300 4matic but I typically bring in a genuine Mercedes filter.

Guarda, i prezzi ormai sono quelli.

Infatti quest'anno ho deciso di fare da me il tagliando della mia Mercedes: ho speso meno tra materiali e attrezzatura di quello che avrei speso per un normale tagliando.

IIRC he told me that his dealership use Rowe engine oil for customer.

A new catalythic converter typically costs $350 (material + labor). I paid $650 to have both main cats replaced on a Mercedes, which had a 5 liter V8 (much bigger engine than your Kia Soul).

The 5W30 full synthetic engine oil works the best for a wide spectrum. Its working temperature range is practical for daily use and it costs less than 5W40.

Recently switched over to Bosch Icons on my 3rd car (Mercedes B250) and felt it cleaned better than the Michelins.

The steering is good - very accurate and with decent feel getting through its electric assistance. And the brakes are epic: unfazed by even an extreme workout on track.

Might I share an experience with my Mercedes Warranty Service: It was my last "scheduled" maintenace on my Benz before my warranty expired in a month... This is what my service rep told me behind closed doors...."We better schedule in as many repairs as possible" 4 new break pads and 2 new rotars for the front (even though they still had a few more thousand mile on them), replacement wood trims for 2 of the door panels, new wiper blades and arm, a whole new radio system b/c the tape player broke (even though I've put probably only 2 tapes into the bay for the 4 years I owned the car); a brand new driver seat b/c one of the heating element on the car seat would not power on (I live in Florida, rarely ever used it).....
