While this is true, when you sign up online, you give your personal info to them and then you get a gift card in return.
C230 Sport Coup may have something here.

sorry that wasn't meant to be harsh, just in general i don't think it would be that easy. since you put in your info to get the coupon, whatever number is on the coupon is tied to your info so once one of them is in their system, it probably wouldn't work for another unless you used someone else's info, i.e. your wife's

don't worry about robbing MB, it's really more the stealership that you're robbing and that's just awesome

I gave my name and address in return for the coupon. I probably will receive mail solicitations. Very similar to receiving coupons for other products. Nothing to worry too much about this.

you can also try a different dealership and just pay cash. All the cashier usually will ask is for your name and thats it. Only time I got asked my info is when I did some servicing.

Lucky for you. At my stealership they ask for my VIN for everything. Even just going to the parts counter. After I ask for a part, thats the first thing they ask. And I usually go in with part numbers so they don't need to do anything but check stock.

Precisely.
If you go in for service, they will link the VIN to you,
and then not sure if they can link the cert. to not being to you,
but even if you pay cash, they will know.

Today I think I will give it a try. My front bottom cover under the car is thrashed, and it's $70 + $5 a screw.
So, 6 screws, and one cover here I come. I'll pay the tax.

You guys are lucky!
Tried to by wipers and they refused to honor the coupon. Pushed the issue politely but firmly and they said the best they could is 20% off as a concession...so i guess at least i saved $10...lol.

C230 Sport Coup + 2006 W164 ML350 + 99 Ford Escort (What the heck, it gets 38 mpg!)
Well as AC/DC said, "Shot down in flames, aint it shame, to be shot down in flames".
Went to Beschoff. As it happened, another guy was trying to get rotors for his E55
and had a coupon but wasn't from the forum.

If you read the 1st line of the thing, it says quite clearly, "save $XXX off your next SERVICE".
That being said I need to price a brake fluid flush, they are usually right around $100 and will save you big bucks in the long term
Supposed to be done every 2 years or 50K miles.

So to those of you who got the dealer to sell you parts, I tip my hat to you.
Still more dealers to try though.

EDIT: Well, brake fluid flush is 140.


Anyone had any luck w/ parts only in the bay area?
Amazingly an oil change is only 90, ha not enough for a $100 coupon, but $40 w/ a $50 coupon eh?
The A service is $170 but we all know what a rip that is, only includes
inspections and no parts.
and they have a list of specials including a tranny service for $225.
Of course not likely a full flush.
But it would only cost $125.
I'm 50K miles on from my 1st one.
Maybe the service with 4-5 quarts would be enough?
My tranny has been doing exhibiting some small wierdnesses,
that a flush would like fix.
http://www.beshoffmotorcars.com/specials/service.htm

Umm. Just called Smyth, the brake fluid flush is only $110.
Oil change is 99, had $1 shy of the mark.
I could ask them to replace a screw or something...ha.
Wow, tranny service is $350 to drop the pan and
put in the 4 quarts.

Hey anyone had any luck w/ parts only in the bay area?

For those of you with 4matic, transfer case fluid change is around $160. You can use the coupon on that.

Brake fluid flush sounds like a good idea at my end, I don't even know if it has ever been done on this car.
