So here's some bad news... I dropped mine off at North Van mercedes to get the following done:
1 - fuel sensor recall
2 - check wheel balance
3 - recode my keys
4 - change the oil and filter (it's been sitting for the past year and a half in a garage.

I get the car back yesterday, $419 bill, and what do you know, they didn't change the oil and filter even after I asked them to. The bill was just to recode the keys and balance 4 tires!!! can you believe that?

Now the best part. I go to start it tonight and it doesn't start! i try several times and nothing. Then I smell fuel. I go outside and look under the car is a puddle of fuel!!!
Idiots. I hate dealerships! I hate 'em! Just when I thought I could escape the retards over at Capilano Audi, it turns out North Van Mercedes are even worse!!!!

Thank your lucky stars you've got warranty. My original warranty runs out next month...I'm seriously thinking long and hard about this. I don't want the headaches and the wallet shrinking too!

Maybe I should just trade it in for a brand new C63????

I was going to, but they said you can only get extended if you are the original owner.
I do not want to get extended through anyone else except mercedes, unless you know otherwise terrence?
