Thanks for the AAA tip. I hope all dealerships will honor it.

You can't do much about insurance or gas or registration fees, you can do the oil change yourself for $45 in under an hour without getting dirty as the oil is pumped out through the dipstick tube (you know, the one without a dipstick) and the oil filter is on top. Don't know about you, but 200 after tax greenbacks is more than I make in an hour. I'ld like to see how much you are smiling when the 2yr + B service combination sets you back $600.

That's why the costs of services A and B for MB don't bother me

The bill was for changing the brake pads and repairing the sunroof. After the free service ended, I usually paid about $800 ~ $1000 whenever I brought it in for service.

I suspect if you are paying $800-$1000, this price too includes some kind of repair. If not, then you are REALLY getting ripped off, and your dealer must have your picture in their office so they can "see you coming".

You lot should be grateful that ur servicing /labour costs are low and that u actually get free servicing for a certain period.
In UK our labour charges are $200 per hour and NONE of the servicing is free -A service is around $500 and B Service is over $1000.
Also the cost of the cars here are considerably higher - a well speced 230K saloon is around $52000 brand new at least...

We cannot service the cars ourselves becasue we then shall loose our 3 year warranty if the car is not serviced as per ASYST and has a MB stamped service book by the Stealer... For the first 3yrs we have to have MB at least service the cars for us - if we do not have a MB service history after the first 3 years then after that we shall loose our 30 years MOBILO warranty which relates to bodywork corrosion - in UK W210/220 are renowned suffering from rust/corrosion and get out claws that MB UK is using is the MB servcie history....

Under leasing I think they will sell u a service package (incorporated it into the leasing price) or alternatively make u have the vehicle serviced at the Stealership under the agreement at your own cost - leasing service package would work out cheaper I guess. I have not taken out a lease.
