$1,140 to replace engine air filter? Got to be kidding me...
Brought my 2013 c250 to the dealer today for A service. While there, they gave me a list of recommended things I'll need to do eventually.
Among them was to replace the engine air filter for the princely sum of $1,140. Surely that must be a typo. Right...? I can buy the part for like $25, and by all accounts it might take me 20 minutes to do it myself.
Lest you think I'm joking, here's a scan of their recommendations:
ATLbenz13, sorry for the typo. The cost for parts and labor is $114. This is a genuine / OEM filter with a factory warranty. Not sure what kind of quality or warranty comes with non-OEM parts.
I think the filter is around $40 oem. Yes it should only take about 20 minutes or less to do it yourself. Very easy. Filter is on top right of engine bay. I believe it's a few torx screws to remove.

Thank you for the reply! I have been meaning to call back and double-check this.
I would also be worried about the cause of abnormal wear on one rear tire. Did they look for suspension/alignment issues?
I had an issue a while back with being run off the road and having two tires blow and rims damaged...had those 2 tires replaced and alignment done, not surprising that one of the other 2 (older) tires has uneven wear compared to the others.
