First "check" service & 3000k LSD oil change.
Just turned over 3000ks, so took the C63 to Mercedes Melbourne for it's initial "check" (supposed to be at 1500ks but hadn't had time!), & to have the LSD oil changed.
Great service to date at this Dealership. Car was booked in at very short notice, & service adviser was VERY good....a real "car man". Explained all sorts of stuff to me, and then, when the service was done, came out onto the driveway with the guy that sold us the car, & they both spent over an hour getting Karen's new phone "sorted" into the car.
Of course, I was in & out of the Coffee area, availing myself of all the great "eats", & coffee that are available.
They've got HEAPS of cars in the showroom, (had a nice dark blue C63 P.P. Coupe on view) but I also went upstairs to the specialist AMG area, & had a sqizz at an SLS Roadster....a bit out of my league, but...what a car. They had a few P.P. equipped C63s up there too.
A most enjoyable experience.
Cheers, Pickles.

Nice to hear MB dealer service is top notch in Australia.. Not always the case in America. May I ask how much is the first service cost in ur country... I bet it super expensive considering the price of the vehicle.

Around the $300 mark I think, oil was about $230, I thought it was OK.
I guess with a car like this you wouldn't expect it to be "cheap", & whilst I do not like being ripped off, I don't mind "paying", if I get a proper job, & the car is looked after.

That sounds about right compared to our American pricing. I was thinking around 500-600$ considering ur paying double the price for the cars overthere.

2010 C63, 2007 SL55
Chris,Australia
I have an 07 SL 55 (DMS Modded to SLR spec,620 BHP),in UK,which we use for Real Touring,in Europe,where you can actually get to DRIVE your performance car,and my 2010 C63,in Australia.
I thought MB Servicing in Australia was expensive,but our prices pale into insignificance,after a Service on the SL,in UK...GBP800,inc a tyre balance?
We're off to Le Mans Classic 6th-8th July,and then to AMG,13th July for a visit...Europe is quite inexpensive right now for us,especially in Spain,so we'll take a trip down there too,next month.
