Lifetime oil changes, limited to the same dealership?
We purchased the lifetime oil change service for our vehicle when we bought it. We moved (in town still) and there is another Mercedes dealership (different owner) just down the street. Is the lifetime oil service limited to just the original dealer?

Probably and I guess every time you would go there, they'd be running all kinds of diagnostics and inspections as to what your car needs etc. One such recommended repair would easily take care of your life time oil changes

We only kept that first GLC for 2 years and then traded up, but we negotiated transferring that to the new car. So we'll make it worthwhile.
We haven't been using the benefit as much as we could. Even though Mercedes recommends every 10K miles, getting an oil change every 5K, especially if free, should be something we utilize.

$600. We weren't very negotiation savvy with that purchase and probably could have gotten it thrown in. When the dealer pulled our credit scores needlessly, I wrote an unhappy review and that was the first thing they offered to make it right. Except we had already purchased it. Oh well.

Haha, actually it really is lifetime free oil changes. As long as it's not abused (like monthly or something), they don't care.

Would wait for your answer hopefully you can call the service department in the morning.
Remember nothing is free and $600 for life time oil changes is pretty much free.... Question you gotta ask yourself is, What's in it for the dealer or else why would they offer such plan?
