This is easy enough to do on your own at the time you're changing oil.
I did mine at home, oil and oil filter, cabin air filter, and new AFE air filters along with the normal weekly fluid and visual leak inspection.
If you don't change your air filters for new ones, make sure you remove them from the intake and blow them with compressed air if you have it or at least shake them out and maybe even slap them on the ground to get all of the loose nasties out of em, you'll likely find bugs and lots of dust, dirt in them.
I want to say my dealer wanted $800 for this service, the in cabin filter is the biggest rip off--I guess it all depends on how much you drive the car and how **** you are. My car will be 3 yrs old in September and I have yet to break 10k miles! I know, i should drive it more, but I'm too busy reading car forums!! LOL

You drive less than I do! I just crossed the 10k mark recently.

LOL... so true... Bend Over. What's up with the stealership charging 800$ for an oil change & few air filters? Craziness.
I never paid more than 200$ for my oil change, except this year when I changed my brake fluid for an extra 200$ ish. But I have very low mileage on my car though.
I’ve Done 30,000 Miles in 18 Months. Since May 2018
And Mine is Showing Service B0 is Overdue in 1000 Miles. The Car 🚘 Has Been Booked 📚 in On 7th November 2019, Lol 😂 B0 - Bend Over. I’m Pretty Sure The Mercedes-Benz Technicians Will Be Bending Over When They Service My Car 🚙 On 7th November
I Do Around 2,000 Miles a Month. So Year I Do Drive A lot. But I Do Look 👀 After it Very Well. It’s My Pride an Joy. I Love 💓 My Black A200d AMG Line With Premium Pack Plus &. One ☝🏼 of the Best Hatchback 🚗 .

Thanks for this thread and video links. It always helps to build on what others have done.
For my AMG43 filter service, I was able to un "snap" the AMG cover from the top of the engine (in 6 places) and move/bend it out of the way to the left or to the right - as needed for the accessing the left and right filter. Never disconnected it from the front grill.
Same goes for the air filter covers (no need to disconnect the duct work). The drivers side was easy, all four screws can be easily accessed. Just lift off the lid, clean / vacuum the filter tray & intake, and replace the filter, and re-latch (in the rear) the lid, and secure back the four screws.
The passenger side is easy for two screws, limited access for the third screw and tight quarters for the fourth screw. With the right tools (example below) the forth screw can also be done without removing the duct work and "star" bolt holding the duct to the engine. Same tight access when replacing the cover. The torx screws are designed to stay in the lid, which is really helpful to keep from dropping / losing them. Both lids can also be moved out of the way / flipped on their side / flipped over w/o remming the sensor wire. Just be careful not to drop the torx bit (a magnetic bit holder is a nice feature on the a flat ratchet).
It is a long stretch to reach the filter lids in the back of the AMG engine bay, standing on a bench / step stool can be of assistance.

You are posting in the wrong forum, this is the C63 W204 forum and you have a W205 C43, our filters are super easy to get out in this forum!
forgive me for my ignorance. But what is that? I'm due in 25 days.
Here's what you get. Items in yellow are of actual value. The rest are minor at best, and an independent shop will do for far less. A quote for B Service at a dealer will likely shock you.
