In the UK with an MB main dealer, If you supply the oil (Mobil1 0/W40) you can get a "A" service for £165 GBP, "B" will be about double that, I imagine the US will be cheaper.
Good luck with it, a lot of fun, Colin.

"A" service

Is "A" service just oil and belt check and filter change? If so I am a good wrench turner and should be able to handle it. The car is out of warrenty. I am going to order a service manual. Can a homeschooled mecanic handel these cars as far as rotine stuff? Sorry about the spelling its a weakness i have.Thank again for the help! Its nice to know there is help out there.

Both services are oil and filters only, I think "B" is an aircon refresh as well. The rest is for various checks.
There will be service manuals somewhere...eBay?

Buy the STAR SERVICE Service Manual Library DVD for Model 220/215 from the dealer. Approx. $100....best money you'll spend on these cars.

Contents include, Repair, Maintenance, Diagnostic Info and Function Description. Wiring Diagrams with Component Locations, Service Bulletins and DTB.

Owners and Introduction Manual.
