I agree. If you take it to the dealer they are only allowed to use OEM replacement parts which to your point are ridiculously expensive. I learned early on to buy the parts myself and have my own mechanic put them on. Example brakes: Mercedes wanted $1600.00 to replace pads and rotors. I was able to do it for 1/2 the cost. They are so good at making money(ripping people off) that you need to replace the sensor which costs $80.00. Not needed as far as I am concerned as you can tell when the brakes need replacing.
