Maybe even rotors!
fronts run around 90 and rears around 70. Thas what rmeuropean has the OEM ones at. I personally like Akebono pads since it has the same stopping power as OEM but produced very little brake dust.

THE C350
When I did my coupon they did check in the system to match my name to the coupon. So be careful using fake information.

its crazy how some dealership are more **** then others about this. i would think they'd be just happy with getting customers in for parts and service.

2001 E55 AMG (sold)
I gave it a try today at MB of Buckhead (Atlanta). My coupon was one of the originals that said for "parts, labor, and accessories." It was a no go though. The parts guy said management already determined they were to only be for service visits. He said he went and checked again, but I think he just took a stroll around the building.

I will try MB of South Atlanta later this week.

i drive them all, fast and hard
just used 2
i had a 50$ and 100$ of the parts version. I called a 2 dealership and got prices from each for parts i wanted and calculated where i would get the best deal....i didnt mention the coupon

so i got cabin filter $42 and key battery $13 = $55 for about 11$ after tax

and at the next dealer, Wipers $47, Air filter $59 =106 for about 16 after tax

so$27 for everything

both places needed to be pointed out this was also good on parts

just have to butter up the sales girls

neither place took down the pin or anything

will go back for services soon

Nowhere ...Fast
That's what the parts guy said in the dealership I went to, but when both of us took it to the cashier she is the one who read it and approved it.

GF is getting her oil changed today.
Exactly $100+ tax.
So oil change for $9.25.
Damn the CA sales tax!

Her last oil change was free too, from Dinan..
They used to have a coupon for free oil change for Mercedes,
I used one and so did she.

Was around the corner from Autobahn yesterday.
Whipped out an old cert. that lists parts,
the parts guy checked and it was a go.
106 -100= $6.
2 more quarts of tranny fluid, a cabin air filter and
the crush washer for the tranny pan, and the
Orings, otherwise known as a Pilot bushing it says, which is a crappy description.
So I'm ready for tranny flush #2.
Already have filter, gasket and 10 quarts now 12 of ATF134.

Name and ph # is all thats required.

You can still print service certs.
Get on it!
I'll be doing my oil change soon.

Me either, just back, and print and back and print etc etc. etc.
Photocopy is supposedly a no go.
But who knows?

Ewing autohaus in Plano TX worked great. Picked up new front pads and sensor for 115 plus tax. After coupon I paid $25!

May stop at Park Place in Bedford on the way home if I head that way before they close and get more parts.

I have been to one dealer twice, and yesterday was a new dealer for my third coupon.

First time they analyzed the coupon, three people had to read it to understand what it was. This was when the coupon first came out. I bought all weather mats and they rang me up as a cash customer, no name or info taken.

Second time, same dealer but probably three weeks later. Carpeted floor mats this time. They knew what the coupon was and just folded it up and attached it to my invoice. Cash sale again, no info taken from me.

Third time, yesterday at different dealer. Same as last visit, they were quite aware what it was and just stapled it to the invoice. I think he did glance at the coupon briefly to see if it was an older one that still had parts listed, but that could have been my imagination. This time they did have my info because the parts guy wanted my vin to make sure we got the correct brake pads.

cool smooth sailing....i only had 2 parts coupons and i just had to point out where it said parts on the coupon, and they checked with who ever in ethe back and i got my discounts

the last one i used was service only, again girl checked with someone and i was good to go..


remember allways call it a gift card, not coupon, because sometimes if u get a service at a "special ' price they might say u cant combinie 2 coupons, but always insist it is a gift card, that way it acts as money ,

anyone have any parts couppons they can scan to me.....

Just printed a $50 one off for my state inspection tomorrow.
The coupon now says:
"Valid only for maintenance and repair services performed at participating MB dealers"
"Offer not applicable for over-the-counter Parts or Accessories purchases"

I'm guessing the old ones didn't have that?

Nope! Old ones said:

"Offer applies to parts, labor or accessories for Mercedes-Benz vehicles only"

Actually I just checked and it says,

"Offer valid during full moon only. Must sacrifice 1st born male child to
qualify. Sacrifice must be performed off premises and
verified by a service adviser.
Combining discounts or human sacrifices will not result
in additional discounts. Over the counter parts, like those new
floor mats you've been wanting, or parts for DIY'ing your repairs
and thereby bypassing the dealer service entirely for your own gain,
and preventing us from breaking stuff we can charge you for later,
are not included in this offer.

Terms and Conditions: Mercedes is your God, you shall not want,
except for the want of a $5 balance shaft gear that has ground itself to shreds from "us"
(heretofore referred to as "God") being too lazy to properly sort out our parts providers
and sticking you with the bill to the tune of 10 grand. (M272 owners take heed)

Offer only valid outside of normal business hours when the dealers are closed.
Using multiple coupons at the same or different dealerships will unloose the hounds.
Each dealer is independently owned by one of our trained minions.

Offer valid at participating dealerships if they decide to participate and you argue with them long enough.
Failure to provide a convincing argument on any given day may result in cancellation of said discount.
A $99.99 oil change is not $100.00 and the offer MAY be void, rather than us adding a freaking penny, depending on our mood.
Which is usually bad.
All terms apply."

Seriously though it now does say this:
"To redeem offer, customer must present valid state-issued identification along with Mercedes-Benz
vehicle owner identification displaying valid Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Vehicle registration or Insurance .
Limit one offer per customer, per VIN"

Damn. The other day they just asked for my name and phony number
and I walked with another $100 in parts. I guess I won't be getting a free oil change now.

So, they had one person write the verbage FAIL, and then another also FAIL,
and now they finally achieved what they should've done in the 1st place link to the VIN
and request ID.
Oh well, not my problem. Thanks Mercedes! So long and thanks for all the fish, err parts!
