Dealer warns of car-destroying consequences if I change the (original) battery in my friend's C300 myself, wants $150 to do it (on top of $200 M-B battery).


I immediately thought of that funny picture of a bear standing up with one paw raised and the caption "I'm gonna have to stop you right there. That is more bulls*** than I can handle" (look it up if you haven't seen it).


Any information or advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Ralph Boineau in central South Carolina
