Yeah, but the bulk of the work going thru an independent workshop wouldn’t require the car needing to go to the dealer(?). Independent Euro workshops where I am are flat out.

I have a MB Star diagnosis software and laptop coming from the states for $1300 aud which is said to be able to scan/read and programme all models from 1991-present. Going off what guys on benzworld.org have said it’s the best money an MB owner can spend.
