Hey everyone, thanks for all the feedback. I really don't think he's trying to get out of the repair - money is money. I just think he was being cautious based on the X3 experience. This guy's a very experienced mechanic but he just happens to specialize in Mercedes. As such, he may not be aware of certain specifics regarding this CV boot procedure.

For instance, I needed a CV boot on a MB e430 4matic and he literally did it in 10 minutes - totally straightforward.
