Experienced similar with a Merc CLK years ago, when they replaced one of my tyres (Michelin Pilot Sport on my AMG alloys at £260 a corner (their price, £180 elsewhere)), as it had a slow puncture (apparently). I smugly, upon presentation of the bill stated I had tyre cover, and asked them to remove that item :-)
