Unhappy Ugh, Service B

Took my car in to the dealer for the Service B. A whooping $730 for an oil change and brake fluid change for a non pp car. I don't mind spending money if you get something in return, but this is outrageous.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
That's why you don't go to stealership for service. It's time for you to find yourself a reputable MB Indy who will do it better and for way cheaper.

dang that's hurting, agreed on looking for a good indy......I am fortunate
to have a good one not far away, I cannot stand going to the dealer, I even made it very clear to them I wouldn't be bringing any of my dollars there for anything except something that breaks under warranty......

your car sounds nice inside from the description in your sig, have any pix to share?

enjoy the ride

I do my services outside the stealership, and my car now has 72k km milage on the clock.

cheaper and faster, i also did oil gear change out the dealer. LOL

it is really a simple job and like any other benz car.

BTW, brake fluid should be changed @ 60,000 km / 40,000 miles.

so they ripped you off. i guess.
