2008 C300 door lock actuator fix
Bit of a long shot, but are there any alternatives to getting this fixed at the dealer? They quoted around $800 on the phone for the parts and labor. The car is going to be sold, so I'd like to try to fix it for less.
Thanks

It's the "some place else for cheaper" part that I need help with.
I've gone to 3 garages, and all have told me to go directly to the dealer.

2008 C300 driver door lock - MBWorld.org Forums
apparently you're not the only one with door lock issues ... this thread they briefly talk about what's involved -- sounds like it's a lot more involved than other cars ... I've done it on hondas/old BMW's and it was a pain in the ass without having to deal with pop rivets/removing airbags. Best of luck to you
If you want an indy merc shop, only one that I know of:
