Apparently not the case with MBs. At least no one on the forums or at the dealer seems to know about it. The dealer had to put the thing up on dollies to get it into the shop.

On the one hand I can see this being a good anti-theft thing. On the other, it screws the owner if it's not a case of theft. I shudder to think how bad this would have been had it happened in some airport parking garage after a long trip. I was lucky this happened at home.

I had this happen to the i8, the M6 and the E-Class. One of the best investments we can make is in a set of dollies. Less than $150 for 4 and the car is always movable.

I've looked at some and even thought about buying a set to leave in the rear storage area. But they're (obviously) pretty hefty. Do you leave yours in the car or just in the garage?

In the garage. If I need a tow, I request a vehicle with dollies.

I told the dealer the wheels were locked and they'd need some way to move it. The flatbed driver they sent had one free-hub only, so we still had to deal with three immobile wheels. He used these plastic skates under the other wheels. They worked ok on the garage floor, but having one wheel spin and three drag made the whole vehicle slew sideways as it was being dragged. That made it a royal pain to get it onto the flatbed somewhat straight. I can't imagine trying to do that in a tight parking garage somewhere. Or on a city street.

It's the parts that kill you. Labor isn't insane, I think 180/hr or so if I recall.

That window regulator is probably two grand though, lol.

I hate my freakin' Boss. he literally has a mangina and apparently I hurt it. tell me if the sentence in bold has any "tone" to it?

Boss

You will have to work that out with the guys like we did last year.
I contributed and covered shifts as necessary. I don’t think the guys have an issue with this. Please let me know

he literally called me into the office and said I need to work on my attitude! what? are you effing kidding me!
