I am taking my newly acquired C63 to a new indy mercedes benz shop and was quoted the following:

Just thought I'd throw it out here to get your thoughts if the pricing is fair:

ALL MB OEM PARTS & FLUIDS

1. transmission oil flush + new filter + gaskets + oil plug
2. differential oil change
3. brake fluid flush
4. power steering fluid flush

The break down is $300 in parts and $400 in labor.

I'm based in Canada. I called my local MB dealer for transmission oil change and was quoted 500+shop supplies+tax which would have put me at $600 for just the tranny oil flush.

Not sweating the maintenance but it's my first time using this new indy benz shop. Wanted to give the C63 proper care and just wanted to get a feel for what you guys are paying for a similar service.

Assuming all the work is done properly I'd definitely pay that amount.

Sounds about right for Canada a bit more than we would pay in the US but not a lot more.

I paid about 1k us for all that plus engine coolant so I would say that's a great deal

Differential oil and power steering fluid changes are really easy - did both of them myself for under $100 in a few hours on my W211. Tranny and brake fluid flushes I left to my Indy.

Awesome! Thanks! The car is in the shop as of this morning.

Saw A LOT of MB cars on the lot - TONS of classics and a few new ones as well. 90% of the cars there were MB so I think I'm in the right spot

last question guys - I've been researching how many quarts or liters of oil is required in a transmission flush and I can't seem to get a definitive answer. Some say 10, some say 9, and in a video one guy said 5.6.

:/

Sounds fair...if too cheap then "Houston We Have a Problem"

Just got the car back and I wasn't expecting anything to feel different but I do! The car is noticeable more smooth.

I had a very faint low pitch whine and after browsing multiple threads thought it was a characteristic of the m156.

The whine is completely gone now. My guess either low ps fluid or ps fluid needed to be flushed (bled).

The whine never got louder when it occurred it remained at a steady volume. Whenever revving you'd hear it.

Car is quiet now and no more whine at all. Very pleased!

Next up UPD Billet Pulleys and Serpentine belt, k&n air filters, cabin air filter, and she's all up to date with maintenance for a while!
