That being said, look at what Tom paid below. I am sure he got hit with quite the markup by going to "Benz" specialist. Seriously, CV boot is not rocket science. If anyone pays even close to $200 for one, I would call that being raped.[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure if I was "raped", but I'm sure I didn't get a "deal" on the 2 repairs. I know he may have had a little difficulty from the standpoint of not being familar with the X5 and thus he may have done the rapair the longer way instead of the shortcut way that's been documented on the forum. Anyway, the job was completed (hopefully correctly) and now maybe I'll get a price break from him when the passenger side boot goes (or at least I'll check prices with Slick beforehand).

Thanks
