Schedule "A" Service - Worth $250?
So, I have 7k miles on my car which is just over a year old. Should I pay my MB dealer $250 for this service?

It seems like a very overpriced oil change...

Go to a european independent shop and ask them to do it, they will be more thorough and charge less.

I do not want to pay $250, considering it's basically a bunch of crap and an oil change.

The materials are worth 80 bucks or so
Should take an hour or less if they actually do the checklist
Worth or 'value' is up to you
If doing a couple of services a year, perhaps not
If 1 a year, perhaps yes
What is your time worth?
There is a resale value having dealer records
If you do it your self make a folder and keep dated reciepts and checklists

I am probably going to take it to a (non crappy) shop that would most likely do it for half the price that MB is trying to fleece me for.
I am okay paying $125 for oil change parts and labor + topping off the fluids.

Add up all the costs of these services A etc and you will be way ahead of resale value. As long as your car is service at dealership for oils changes and major services it will show up on Carfax.
