went in for a oil change today and found out that....

So I went in for a oil change today at my local dealership. hour and half later the service person comes to me and tells me that there is a leak in the transfercase $1100, there is a leak in the front differential $850, transmission service $480, rear differential service $150.

for what is wrong with the car are the prices decent or too much?

Suggest to get a second opinion from a reputable independent MB shop if there is one near you.

Are you near 60,000 km? Is that what the transmission service you mentioned is for? If so, that one is normal.

I think at least one of those leaks is common in the 2008 range, as it's happened to me too and I think I've seen a few posts about it.
