Ledbetter's Mercedes Repairs

People with Mercedes ( Chrysler Crossfire) are perceived to have deep pockets. Even people with a ten yr old one with over 135 k miles.
For example, a shop capable of repairing 5 cars a day but ten people come in for repairs a day. They quote these exorbitant prices to customers and see which one will bite. The five that don't bite are stuck paying for a estimate which for example makes him $500 a day. They don't want to fix your $200 dollar problem. They will include plausible repairs to bump it to 900 bucks. Some people are suckers and some are more informed like me.
I came into the shop and talked to this person( that my son said was kind of creepy as those who have visited the shop will instantly recognize who I'm talking about) , and I stressed to him that I knew what was wrong with this car and I didn't want to spend much money as my teenaged son was paying the bill. In the 45 minutes I was talking to him he never said anything about a $100 dollar estimate( and I must admit that I didn't see the sign) because I knew what was wrong with the car. I wanted the estimate right then but was at the end of the day. I had my young son bring the car in the next day and He came back with a quote that was $300 bucks more then the estimate at a actual MERCEDES BENZ DEALERSHIP. That quote was designed to generate either 100 dollars, or a repair that was grossly overreaching. You go to these shade tree mechanics to get a deal but none is to be found here.
At these prices I expect at least coffee and donuts but all I got was a bunch of mosquito bites.
To make things worse some rude obese young lady told me to extinguish my cigarette when I was out side waiting for the cops to try to get my keys back The nerve of these people. Then they told the cops that they felt threatened
It must have been the color of my skin.
Like the op said in the above post about the catalytic converter repair, you got to be careful when going to places like this. One way or another they will get money for you.
And like the previous poster I expect a rebuttal from Ledbetter's shade tree mechanics where they will sound all professional and wish me well while talking out the side of their mouth.
They are not inept Jason B They are dishonest

Took my Mercedes to Ledbetters because of their 40 years of being in business and them being a family owned business.
Paid $2000 and did not get my car repaired.Each time I contacted them there was something different wrong with the car. Ended up putting a used expensive part in my car that I honestly believe was taken from one of the old cars that they have lying around, and then lied and said that I gave approval for them to do so. They say they are the alternative to the Mercedes dealer for auto repairs but when I complained about the service they say they can't order parts from Mercedes? Very misleading. Would not recommend anyone take their car there for repairs. Full of excuses but produce no results.

Brought my car to Ledbetter's with transmission problem, I had previously had car at a different shop but they did not have the proper equipment to repair my car. I thought the service was excellent and a quick turn around. Michael made sure I understood all the needs of my car and made me feel welcome.
