Pretty obnoxious pricing

I received an email from Mercedes of Thousand oaks (los angeles area) to do the annual maintenance service. $1100 and $1500 for service a and service B.

Pretty obnoxious pricing would you say?

MB dealers seem to be chasing Porsche dealer pricing. This signals that Porsche dealer oil changes will soon increase from $1000 to $1500.

I DIY my Cayenne oil changes for $75 with full synthetic oil.

I'd wait for the regular $1475 & $1800 pricing to resume -- they might not be as thorough and conscientious when they're losing money. Even worse, they might unplug the customer lounge espresso machine to compensate.
