my wife bananas! :D
two years ago when i got into an accident, the 1 month the car was in the shop I had a MB loaner (e class)... i pretty much told them, if I wanted to drive a civic, I would've bought one in the first place. you can also try, if you give me a suburban as a loaner and I end up liking it, you have now lost a customer for life

C204 C63 507, W164 ML63, 996 C4S
Would love to get to that point some day. My uncle got a SLS GT coupe when he took his SL63 in for a service, and when he went back to pick it up, he place an order for one.
LOL
Usually a model higher than my car (probably to convince me to upgrade).
When I take the Smart, they give me C250, when I took the C350 they gave me E350.
Took my Brother's E63 and they gave me a S63, will report back when my C63 needs a service.

I have got either the b or c 250.
In this regard, I like lexus a lot more, they don't just give you an is250. Last couple of times my friend who took his LX570 in got LS600 and LS460. In mercedes case, they should give atleast the C350. The same friend has 2 7 series (2005 and 2012) and an M3, and he always gets a 7 series in exchange for the new 7 series he owns, gets x3 or x1 for the 2005 7 series, and atleast a 335 for the M3

Oh the Kitchener ON dealer I go to (Victoria Star) charges $ 10 per day for the loaner as well.
Needless to say, my 2003 Lexus gets me a free loaner from Lexus and a very competent hand car wash. At mercedes, the car wash is worst than a normal touchless carwash.

C63 AMG P30 *EuroCharged*| Porsche Cayenne | Buell XB9SX
They gave me an SLR roadster once, it was sitting on their floor for over a year they were really trying to sell it so maybe they thought I would buy it. Took an F355 once that they took in on trade. I don't usually have the dealer service my Black Series cars for obvious reasons but have been there a couple times. They kiss my wifes *** too when she brings her GL in for service, they gave her an S63 in the fall.

yesh, you do know MB doesnt have a 'touchless' carwash right?
they still have those soft rollers. some MBs have the man power to handwash your car but only if you know the service managers.
also, your car is within the new car warranty... should have free loaners. i am surprised they charge you 10 bux a day.

I did not know that. They do a terrible job washing that I will ask them not to wash next time. I really really like the kitchener lexus wash (even Oakville lexus doesn't compare).
As for the loaner, I usually always go for an oil change. Any warranty work is usually done at the same time, but I never complained about the loaner fees because it's not that much and secondly they have their policy listed at the front.
I will ask the service advisor next time as mb Oakville still doesn't charge for it.

I also bought the tire rim warranty, so I need to find a dealer who would help me with that. I read the policy and they cover factory recommended sizes. I want to go to 265 width vs the 255,and if anything ever happens, I want it covered but I would pay the difference in price of the 265s over the 255s.so need to see if anybody will be willing to do that before I buy new tires.
