I'm not saying he can or can't do the work on his car (likely not 100%) but if you Google "how to install brakes on a 2009 Mercedes C300" you'll probably find a video for it.

He said he drives one. Quite possible he is just a chauffeur for Ronald McDonald.

I'm not saying you can't google a video on how to do work on you car. But read his posts - he does everything under the sun on his car and calls mechanics dumb high school drop outs, yet drives a car that needs technicians to have a college degree and specialized training to work on (insert sleeper spin here that he did that on purpose to not deal with high school drop outs, derrrp). He's usually full of shit, but more so this. Can sleeper fix a couple things with his Lowes socket wrench kit? Most likely, but to come on here and spew this kind of crap is moronic.

Seriously, if you are having car problems, type the problem into Google. 9/10 it'll be something like "Oh just replace such and such" that you can get for $5 at a auto-parts store and fix it yourself. Google pretty much eliminates the need for mechanics of any sort; at this point you are basically just paying money because you are lazy and/or want to transfer the risk of your maintenance to someone else(expensive!).

I didn't say all. With this car, I haven't had any issues except for routine oil changes which are relatively simple. I said 9/10 you can solve the problem by a simple Google search without relying on a high school drop out who costs 1000x more to do it for you.

I think what I enjoy most about threads is everything I post is somehow controversial. I only explain reality; if you find that controversial or disagree with that reality, please seek professional medical attention.

Amusement, period.
