Mercedes prices vs non genuine prices
« on: April 25, 2019, 07:44:35 PM »
just searching how much a non genuine rear hub is for our cars... had a look on ECP prices start £111.99 and go upto £146.99... I paid just less than £75 for a genuine one.

another reason NOT to assume the dealer will be expensive.
get a price from the dealer and then have a look to see if you can get it cheaper.

Well, perhaps instead of ‘genuine’ OEM would be a better term. Mercedes don’t (as far as I know) make wheel bearings, or indeed many other parts such as brakes and suspension. Thing is to use quality parts as far as possible from a reputable and trusted supplier. Often the words cheap and quality don’t fit together.  ;)

tomayto, tomato

call it what you want but either way check prices from your local dealer and then look else where.
