Basically an oil change, tire rotation (for non staggered wheels) and a bunch of inspections. Tons of stuff online about it.

Yes, take it to your dealer, or really any Mercedes Dealer. But I find if you build a relationship with the dealer you purchased your car from, you get taken care of better, including loaner cars when your car is in for routine or warranty service.

If you have staggered wheels, is a tire rotation not necessary? Does the C300 w/ sport package have staggered wheels?

They don't usually rotate staggered wheels. It is still technically necessary but a normal rotation switches a rear wheel to front, etc. That can't happen with staggered. I think you can swap them from side to side but I know in the past they haven't done that for me.

C300
Is there a thread where I can read all about this stuff? What's a tire rotation? I've just emailed the dealership that sold me my car to see where I should take my car to have it serviced. Will it really cost 329$ like the person above said?(we prolly have different cars but yea)

For staggered wheels, I don't think they can be rotated. Not even side to side, because tires need to consistently go in one direction. Maybe you can by swapping the tires on those wheels - which will costs a lot...Correct me if I am wrong.

I did my own servicing and rotated them side to side. Verified with America's Tires that it was OK. If under warranty just make sure that you keep your receipts and use the recommended oil and I used OEM filters.
