Service B2 -- 40k/4yr
Hey everyone-
I just got quoted ~$800 for this service from my local dealer. $425 for the standard B service and ~$360 for the transmission service required during this interval.
Is this too much? I was really, really surprised...

I suggest finding an indy Mercedes specialist place and going there. Get the fluid drained from both pan and TC and all of it replaced. Get the oil changed and use the correct 229.5 oils. And you can replace air filters, cabin filters and the like by yourself.

I thought most of them were using this:

And for diesel engines they use this:

Also, the $360 transmission service is half-assed where they drain the pan and change less than half the fluid.
As for the prices, they are about on par with what my local dealers charge. Ripoff, no matter how you look at it.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting totally duped; it seems the price is on-par for what most dealers charge for this service. I used to work on my own cars back in the day -- valve job, engine swaps, brakes a million times, etc., I just don't have the time anymore, so I must pay the Stealer!
My dealer is offering an interior/exterior detail & oil change special, and my SA was awesome enough to bundle my 40k service with this and get me the regular service plus the detail for the same price as just the service; great customer service. He'll be the reason I buy an E-class in a couple of years.
