Service for C Class
Im in the toronto area, and called the dealership in markham to get a quote for "service B" They told me it was $596 + tax. Called the dealership in Durham and they said it was $330 = tax. Wondering why such a huge difference. The markham location is corporate owned whereas Durham isnt. Either way, to me that is a huge difference. Does anyone know if the service performed will be exactly the same? They are both MB dealerships.
thanks

Just remember this before you hit 100K:
oil/filter every 15K
brake fluid flash every 2 years,
comb filter every 30K,
air-filter every 60K
tranny flush every 60k
100K - change spark plugs
back to "before you hit 100K"
All the rest is bunch of checks and lubrication and should not affect price much.

yes, 2 years or 20,000 after your service A. I am leaning towards taking it to the durham dealership.. its almost half the price and I imagine they both do the exact same thing as they have a checklist to follow.

Your service booklet should have the list of what needs to be performed. Based on the price difference, I would say one of them mixed up the service number/name or actually knew what should be done on your vehicle based on the record. I always ask my clients for the mileage on the vehicle because there are "additional services" which should be performed at certain mileage and are not part of Service B/Service 2, but will affect the price...

Prices in Southern California are usually much lower due to almost 20 dealers. Several will price match.
I have paid between $110 and $150 for "A" service.
The only thing added in "B" service is the cabin air filter which you could chose to skip if you have good cabin air flow and no odors. "B" service is about $70 more than "A"
Brake fluid flush can be as low as $90
The normal price at several of the local dealers is double the above prices, but a few of the high priced dealers do price match. And the prices in other parts of the US can easily be much more than Southern California.
Several dealers provide new "C" class loaner vehicles at no additional cost.

Here in Atlanta, I contacted two dealers and they charge $99.00 and $250.00 respectively for service "A".
One that charges $250.00 is near my home and work, so called them up and told them to match the cheaper price.
They wanted me to get them something in writing from the other dealer of what $99.00 service includes and at the end matched it.
It's worth a call and ask if you prefer a dealership over another.

$250 will get you labor for service B at my shop, plus parts and supplies (~200$).
Once again, mileage is the key

Just had service A done at Mercedes Durham total price $348.00 but when I got it back on the way home smelled burning oil.Opened hood to see oil all over under carriage and dripping on floor.Called them and they sent a tow truck to pick up car.Seems they pinched the oil filter,they fixed it and apologized and said no engine damage but I called Mercedes Canada to file a complaint just in case.Would I go back,yes,things happen,its conveniant for me but will check their work from now on.
