You can also use it to mount a set of tires and do an oil change. Or if you need a spark plug change but it may be cheaper to DIY even with the coupon.

I'd rather not have them mess with my spark plugs! Ha, but not a bad idea, since they cost
like $60 just for the parts.
I'm running NGK copper now though, 2 steps cooler.
$10 a set. Less strain on the coil packs, I hope.

Ha, I just did all the main. I'm going to need for a while.
Oil, bottoms pans, spark plugs.
Well, have 3 months to think about it.

MB USA got smart and you have to enter your VIN and the VIn is then printed on the certificate so you can't enter just any car.

COOL! Got mine. $100! I had figured out last time that putting the year in as 2001, as also from Trey that 2001 yields the coveted $100 coupon vs. 25 or 50.
It lists my VIN on the coupon but not the year, and hey my car was made in 2001 anyway. Dec. to be exact.
Maybe someone will try 2002 and see if it yields 100 since it's a year later.
Funny, it doesn't show the amount until you actually print it.

And I don't see why you couldn't print more than one, I did it as a pdf.
Anyone try doing it twice on the same VIN but to a different email?

Hey, that's an oil change, and brake fluid or coolant flush for $100 and also while you are there,
they will do any service campaigns you might be entitled to.
They did something on mine when I took it in last year, they replaced the dongle on the
cam sensor to an updated one, no green end connectors. Not sure why.

Currently I don't need anything from the dealer.
Wish I had seen this sooner, just did an oil change, and maybe could've had them replace the
holey bottom pan I just had to buy, I mean if they install it, the parts would be included in the
service right? I spent quite a bit replaced all the clips and screws and the pans, and just did an oil change.
Ah well.
It's all good, and I have till June if anything comes up!
So, oil change $100 and... ?
Brake fluid was done last year, and ok till next year.
Need to check when I flushed the rad last.

What maint item could I get done for ~100 to make it to $200?
I tried sending it to different emails and it worked, So now I have 2 $100 coupons for my coupe and 2 $100 coupons for my sedan, I doubt I will use both though, probably get my the tie rods fixed on the coupe and a oil change and something else for the sedan not sure yet. Also if you really wanted alot of these I don't see why you couldn't just copy it.

Sending to different emails is the ticket. I just got a 50 buck coupon for my w203. IMO, my SA didn't even look at the VIN# when I gave it to him

Replace fuel filter might bring you to that magic number. 4 wheel alignment? I emailed my SA to see what they charge. Oh I might just put in that 2001 year and different email address to see what happens.

+1 on year 2001. I netted the elusive 100 buck coupon. When I put in 2006 I only got the 50 twice. Lets see if I can break Vdub's record

I keep getting $50 with my 05 C230. You think entering a different model will get me the $100 coupon? I got a bunch of stuff I need to get done. Also, I noticed theres a some sort of PIN on the printed coupon, do they use that to log into a system and check the information you entered to get the coupon (model number, name etc)?

Put in year 2001. That's how you get the 100 buck trophy. Just use diff. email address. In NJ, the SA didn't even look at the fine print. They will get the money back from MBUSA one way or the other.

I got $50 for my wife's car. She might be due for a service pretty soon and since she's got a CPO, I'd use it then. I got $50 for my car. I'm certainly not going to look for a reason to take my car to the shop so the $50 coupon for my car will probably never be used.

You guys talk of breaking records.
It's gonna cost ya this time.
I still have most of the parts I accumulated.
Turns out I didn't need new front brakes yet, and
the head gasket is still holding with occasional coolant top ups.

C32 rotors make good barbells.

Got it, thanks. In reading the 'fine' print, you have to spend 200 or more and it is only good maintenance and repair. I guess there is no way around it?
