$1500+ for 2011 C300 B5 service, is this right?

The dashboard told me that the B5 service is due, so I took my car to the Mercedes. They told me it was a 40,000 miles or 4 years service. The total mileage of my car is under 30,000 miles. I was like just expected $500... but the total they gave me is: $1,520! That's a lot! Is the price right? Is it too expensive?

I can only assume you did the service already since it's been a few months. How did it go for you? Did you go thru the dealership and paid the asking price? Do you know what was done?

It surprises me the B5 came up at 30k, I thought it was supposed to be at 40k, especially if they did the tranny service and the brake fluid flush.
