Shops-by-State: Ohio

[1987260e]

I have recently visted a local Mercedes dealrship in Dayton,Ohio. I needed apart for my W 124. I live in the Colubus,Ohio market, but I work in the Dayton area. So I called around. The part in Dayton was @ list price of $8.00 with no MBCA discount. In Columbus they wanted $ 16.00 but would give a MBCA discount 10% for a total $14.50. Now that doesn't sound like a lot of money, but it will cause me to shop around for my parts from now on. I wonder if all parts are priced the same. 1 dealership sells for 2x list while others just get the list price. My radio needed to be re-code-ed and they both offered to do it for no/charge,and that was unexpected. At least they were not after every penny I have ! The service Mgr at both stores were great to talk to.

From these statements, it sounds like he was talking about MB dealerships.

I had my IP seals replaced by Waren County Diesel and they did a nice job.
