Opinions Welcomed - Selecting a Repair Shop
I am in the process of trying to decide who to have service my 2004 CL500. So, today I visited 2 Indy Shops and the Local MB Dealership. My goal was to meet the Service Techs and get some quotes on basic Maintenance items.
INDY SHOP #1:
Brake Fluid Flush/Fill $80.00
A Service $115.00
B Service $300.00
Transmission Flush/Fill - They dont recommend it or do it
Oil Change $100
ABC Fluid Change - They didnt know what I was talking about.
INDY SHOP #2:
Brake Fluid Flush/Fill $105
A Service $100
B Service $160
Transmission Flush/Fill $240
Oil Change $90
ABC Fluid Change $300
INDY SHOP #3:
Brake Fluid Flush/Fill $69
A Service $125
B Service $299
Transmission Flush - Does not Recommend this at all
Oil Change $99
ABC Fluid Change $325
DEALERSHIP:
Brake Fluid Flush/Fill $115
A Service $145
B Service $450
Transmission Flush/FILL $400
Oil Change $89.99
ABC Fluid Change $500
My Confidence is in INDY SHOP #2. But here are a few concerns.
When I asked about Mobil 1 Oil for the Oil Change the Manager said they didnt use it. They use "LIQUI MOLY" which he said was the same or better than MOBIL 1 and less expensive. He said the LIQUI MOLY are the ones who design synthetic oils for German cars and then sell their formulas to other manufacturers including Mobil.
I have never seen any comments about LIQUI MOLY on the forums and wonder if any of you have had any experience with it.
