Agree with Doug. Hoehn has the best service dept prices.
If you want to go outside of MB dealership for service, I would recommend:

MB Werks (Autowerks Direct) in Clairemont Mesa
or
AUGUST European in Mira Mesa

I highly recommend German Autowerkstat. Been going there for 3+ years for all the non-warranty mechanical work.

Very honest, excellent prices.

Just had my W202 in for it 90k service at German Autowerkstat.

Transmission fluid and filter, Coolant, brake fluid, plugs, oil & filter, air filter, gear oil, breather hose, (all genuine mercedes parts) and all the rest of the usual specified checks for the grand total of $390. Sweet.
