Looking for advice regarding the option to purchase this service from MB Dealer.
Not sure if is worth it to roll it with the financing or pay at the time of any regular service, since it’s being advertised as a 30% savings over paying for service as you go.
I heard that at around 2k miles, the fluid and oil changes can be around $700 dollars ( not sure if applies to older 2018 or newer )
Please advise

 

The car doesn't need 2k service any more--that's for older AMG models not the current one.

If you do it, don't roll it into financing otherwise you are paying interest for years on it.

 

I purchased the prepaid service but didn’t finance it. Just paid for it directly. You do get a discount on standard services by paying upfront. Only con imo is if you don’t plan to keep the truck for the entire period…

 

Thanks for your comment. I was thinking the same thing because everything adds up on this toys 😎

 

Thanks for your response.

 

DO NOT buy upfront! :-) it covers two Service As and one Service B. most of the money goes towards labor cost at the dealer.

 

It is a good deal after the 2nd service. 1st and 2nd service are basic service A and B and wiper blades are still new. At third service and thereafter when you need new air filter and new wipers and brake fluid flush and spark plugs etc.. it becomes a much better deal.

 

The key is to keep trading the G's in before you get to Service B haha.

 

Second Service is @ 20k ?
Can you still buy it at that mileage?

 

yes you can buy it anytime and for up to 3-4 years while under 90000 miles

 

Do you all recommend shopping around to see which dealer is giving a better deal or do you just go with where you're buying the car from?

 

you can shop around, some dealers mark it up.

 

I believe the dealers are not making any money and it's a MB [your location] set price so everybody is priced the same.

 

This has been my experience as well. I purchased the prepaid service for my 2021 and when I do get a service I check the current price and it’s definitely cheaper if you prepay (in my area anyways). Plan on getting the prepaid service again for my incoming 2023 G as well…

 

Got the prepaid service but purchased it on cash along with the g63. It’s worth it given inflation in parts and service/ labor costs over time. Another must have is tires and wheels warranty..

 

And windshield!!!

Speaking of that.
What’s the best option to prevent $$ bills.
I been told that here in Florida, Insurance companies will replace them for free up to 2 incidents per year, but not 100% sure

 

i tried but they didn’t offer and won’t offer a solution for windshield. I purchased mine from fletcher jones in fremont California.

 

bought my 3 year service from Jeff @ mb of louisville $2190, my purchasing dealer (Fletcher Newport) price was $3000. I also did service A paid out of pocket and got the PPM for B-A-B services.
