Mercedes-Benz Prepaid Maintenance Coverage

Hi everyone,

For those of you who get your vehicles serviced at the dealership, I'm curious what your thoughts are on the Mercedes-Benz Prepaid Maintenance Coverage for the 2021 AMG C43. When I had an Audi S4 several years ago, I selected the prepaid maintenance plan because I calculated it was cheaper than paying for the service appointments individually. I plan to try to track down the costs to do the same comparison this time around, and I'm curious whether others have purchased the coverage.

Thanks,

I have purchased the prepaid maintenance plan for my 2020 C43 when I got it. It worked out to be a few hundred bucks cheaper. However, keep in mind that you need to decide to own the car for as long as that prepaid maintenance lasts because it's not easy to include it in the sale price of your car when you want to sell it to someone else.

As stated above, it works out to be a bit cheaper when compared to individual service appointments through an MB dealership. I have bought it with each of MB cars (including the c43 and the wife’s GLE).

I purchased the prepaid maintenance package for my 2020 C43 when I purchased it in May 2020. I usually keep my car around 5 to 6 years, and I am a girl with my own limitation so DIY is not for me. I got the 4 years/40,000 miles package for $2250. It looks like price for 2021 has increased a little bit.

As stated above, prices changes and it is usually going up not down so buying PPM locks u in the price if it does go up in the future.

In Canada, all the service A B are oil changes at different random prices for $500+ per. 2 year brake fluid changes are recommended by the manual but isn't included with prepaid maintenance plan.

So, it might be cheaper to pay just for an oil change individually every year at jack up price of $200 at the dealer.

I passed on the prepaid maintenance. I have a good indie shop that I've used for over a decade, so I'd rather go through them for scheduled maintenance than the dealership.

I checked the PDF brochure on the Mercedes-Benz Canada website and it looks to me that the 2 year brake fluid change is included as part of the Prepaid Maintenance plan.
