The CLS is in for an A service next week, keeping it with the dealer again for MDSH and I have a £70 off voucher so no point in really going elsewhere.
The car is 7 years and 1 month old and I asked if there was a discounted labour rate for older cars to which the service advisor didn't answer. Helpful.
Anyway, they quoted a price of approx. £430 to supply and fit a new passenger side window regulator whilst it's in which seems on the high side, reportedly some other CLS owners have had these done around the £250 mark at the dealer. The part looks to cost £139 from MB.
I will probably end up just taking it to an independent for the job but any idea what the book time is for the job so I can try to negotiate something less crazy and save myself another trip elsewhere? I know there is a DIY on the forum and indeed a repair kit on ebay but I don't have time to work on it at the moment really and not fully confident in my DIY skills unless anyone can convince me that it's a piece of cake.
