C300Man

I'm in Dallas, TX and how much does Service A cost? and what is being done? I'm approching 13K mark and wanted to find out if its worth the money. thanks

Stick Girl

Hey C300Man, when did you get yours? I got mine on Halloween last year (from Ewing in Plano) and I just started getting the service A message. I haven't called around to find out the pricing though.

Hey Stick Girl,
I got mine at Lemmon in Dallas. Please let me know how much are they quoting the price for. Thanks

Why not make a phonecall. 1 hr between thread start and latest post should've been enough to get that info.

its not covered by warranty?

Azn_C300

service A isn't covered by the warranty. But there was an option to lock in Service A and B prices to protect against future inflation. You could roll that cost into your loan payment.

Don't know for sure (still at ~5500 miles here), but I hear through the grapevine that Service A is essentially an oil change and some minor checkups. There was a thread before detailing what exactly is done. I remember thinking, "That's all they do for that much money???" Still gotta/gonna do it though. Getting ripped off comes as part of the territory, it seems.

I was told it's about $200 from my dealer here in NJ. Damn expensive for an oil change, will prob just do it myself when the time comes.

Service A is $350 in Mississauga, Ontario. At least thats what the service guy told me when I dropped by to ask.

I think mine is suppose to be around $250, but the saleguy promised me they'll cover it supposedly, since I had many complaints.

Service-A should be around $250, but you can opt to just get an oil change and ask them to reset the counter. Oil change should be $100

I just had our Service A performed on our '08 C300 Lux at MB - Portland, OR.

$170 without tire rotation, since I do all the tire rotations myself.

I never thought of these guys as particularly inexpensive, but based on some of the other numbers that are showing up here, I'm beginning to think I got a deal. [Plus the free coffee, cookies, and chocolate bars with the star logo.....burp.]

Which dealership?

ffejalink

I paid $210 at MB of Escondido this week for Service A on my '05 C230 (not sure if there's a price difference for the W204).

When my C300 reaches that mileage I will have changed the oil twice already and since I can walk around and count my own wheels, the dealer is not going to see it except for warranty work, if any. All that money I save can then be spent foolishly. Oh wait, I've already done that.

Where MBofSA or Boerne?

AkaSigFreak

My local Stealership just quoted me $350. I asked them if they were going to kiss me first and to please be gentle. Pricey oil change.
They even gave it to me in writing
What they do:
1. Oil and filter change
2. Replace dust filter
3. Inspect tires,inspect brakes, inspect fluids
I feel violated

For this price I think they throw in a large tube of Preparation H in a presentation case.

narky

Are they gonna cuddle with you afterwards? At least hug you tight?

Wow, that's some serious rapeage.

$270 in New York, I just had an A service done yeasterday. Yes it is expensive but you can go 15K between changes....

They quoted me $120 for an oil change (acceptable considering its MB, 8 quarts Mobil 1 Synthetic, and only every 13k miles)
I just can't justify the other $230 for "inspections" but my wife said "just shut up and do it...you knew that when you bought that car!"

narky

Something my lady would say.
