no dude .. i think you misunderstood the story .. maybe i didnt communicate properly .. lemme try this again ..

here the quality of the garage has nothing to do with it .. they might as well be doing in your backyard .. the reason is that the same people and same equipment (note: i didn't say similar) are working on the car outside the showroom .. my understanding is that this is orchestrated by a group at the showroom who convinces the customer to follow this route

winners
mechanics > as in showroom they only get a fixed salary, now they get that salary anyways plus extra dough under the table
customer > obviously, as he is paying 22L against quoted 48L

losers
mercedes > either the showroom/franchise owners or perhaps just the company (in case the franchise is in on this i.e.)
