Any GLK250 owners in Calgary getting your servicing done here?

These guys have been fantastic to deal with in servicing my VW Tdi and would like to give them a try with the MB. They told me that they do scheduled MB maintenance with factory parts and that it won't affect my warranty. I trust their work and might even save a few bucks which appeals to the inner Dutchman in me

I have not, but I've heard of them and will likely give them a try! The dealership is so overpriced and quite frankly not that convenient.

That being said I'll probably have the first service done by the dealer only because our GLK's alignment has been out since we picked it up, and their clear bra film wasn't applied so well - a lot of bubbling/peeling already after 3 months.

Took the 250 in to Midtown and as usual, they didn't let me down

All in, the 30K service 'B' set me back less than $350. Steal of a deal. The only thing they didn't do was rotate the tires (at my request as I do my own seasonal changeovers and rotate them myself).

I highly recommend Midtown to Calgary and area VW and MB owners for scheduled service and non-warranty repairs. Amazing service and very flexible regarding scheduling appointments, drop offs and pick ups.

Good to hear. I had my Service "A" done there about 2 weeks ago and it was a nice experience. We were $246.90 including 15 litres of AdBlue.

Wow! That's worth the 7 hour round trip for me!

I'll be taking my VW there now as well. I really hate the dealerships here in Alberta. I've never once had a good dealership experience on any car brand that I've ever owned.

It'd be one thing if the dealer was more affordable, but to charge more and then have ****ty service, it's really pretty sad.

edit - actually, I'm wrong. Honda Red Deer was always good to me. I just forget as it was 10+ years ago since I've been there.

I take mine to Astra Automotive. Have been a client for last 6 years. Have not let me down. Found engine cover cracked (minor, very unnoticable). Overall i like the family that runs it, seem to be quite well wishing.
Here is my A service (car noted as 320 because a mistake was made, has been corrected internally since):
