How We Saved a Mercedes Owner Over £6000 on a Radio Boot-Up Fault Repair
Mercedes Radio Boot Fault: Dealer Quote vs Reality
It’s a situation we see all too often. A customer brought in his Mercedes with a frustrating issue: the radio system wouldn’t boot up. No audio, no media, no connectivity – just a blank screen where premium infotainment should be. When he went to the main dealer, they diagnosed the fault and handed over a shocking quote: £4,500 + VAT.
That kind of figure is enough to make anyone think twice. But rather than accept it, the customer reached out to us – and we’re glad he did.
Expert Diagnosis and New OEM Parts at a Third of the Price
At B&B Audioconcepts, we specialise in diagnosing and repairing audio and infotainment faults on Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Range Rover and more. With this customer’s Mercedes, we carried out a full diagnostic and confirmed the fault – then sourced brand new OEM components, exactly like the main dealer would.
The difference? We got the job done for less than a third of the dealer’s price, including parts and labour. That’s a saving of over £6,000 when you factor in VAT. Best of all, the customer drove away the same day with a fully functioning infotainment system and no corners cut.
Why Our Repairs Beat the Dealer Every Time
There are several reasons customers across the UK come to us instead of heading to the main dealer:
- Better Pricing – We save customers thousands by avoiding dealer markups while still using high-quality, genuine parts.
- Faster Turnaround – No 3-week wait times or endless delays. We offer same-day or next-day repair in most cases.
- Specialist Knowledge – Our team are audio and infotainment experts, not generalist technicians.
- Transparency – We show you exactly what the issue is, what needs replacing, and why.
When it comes to infotainment and audio faults, main dealers often replace entire modules unnecessarily. We target the exact component that has failed, saving you time and serious money.
Real Customer, Real Savings
“Mercedes quoted me nearly five grand to fix my radio issue. I couldn’t believe it. B&B Audioconcepts had it sorted with new parts for a third of the cost – and in a single day. Can’t recommend them enough.”
