After looking over the prices I would say that this sounds about right. Benz labor rates are always quite a bit higher than your average vehicle.

Suggested Repair

The quoted prices appear reasonable for this Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes labor rates are typically higher than average, so the estimates for front wheel bearings, ball joints, outer tie rods, a tire, plugs and filters, wiper motor installation, and stereo with antenna look in line.
