Omer Selimovic drives a Mercedes A 140 (W 168), built in 2002.
Bad, because Selimovic is dependent on his Mercedes. He lives separately from his wife and children and has to drive 140 kilometers to pick up his three kids. In addition, he is handicapped by a foot fracture that has not healed, as well as heart problems and a burnout.
Result: The mechanical engineering technician has not been able to work in his job for four years, which explains the tight budget. The Aachener appreciates the necessary Repairs to the A-class to 700 to 800 euros. For this reason, he reports to AUTO BILD and Euromaster, asking for the costs of his repair to be covered.
Service booklet: It depends on the stamp
Regular oil changes and filter replacements are standard, plus many other jobs that are carried out by a workshop during a vehicle inspection. Reason for the maintenance: The vehicle technology should function as long as possible without defects. Important for maintaining the vehicle warranty: The workshop must work according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The driver does not have to go to the authorized workshop for this, independent workshops can also take over the maintenance of new cars if they comply with the specifications.
It starts with a thorough inventory. It becomes clear that Selimovic has misjudged quite a bit: in the end there are 2522 euros on the bill. Tires, brakes, ball joints have to be replaced, just to name a few. The TÜV fee of 131.50 euros also ends up on the bill. A lot of work, but also in this case we were happy to help together with Euromaster!
