The local dealers charge well over $100 for this kind of job which seems to me a little bit excessive.
Does somebody know a shop (competent with the SLK) in the West Palm Beach area?

Thanks in advance for your input.
If you think your not capable of it and don't want to exceed your abilities then thats fair enough i totally respect your position on it but the process is really simple nothing fancy at all.

You remove the drain bolts from the car all the oil will come pissing out at you once it stops put the drains back in remove the one bolt from the filter holder the tops pops off pull out old filter insert new one stick the bolt back in maybe a little oil on the filter just to wet it but not much check everything is tight pop open the filler and pour in the oil.

Longest part is waiting for the oil to exit that takes forever and a day.
