Just got Service B done

Picked my my 07 GL after Service B and the tab was $611.00 after $50.00 coupon. I think it is a rip off, most of things were done as "check" the only thing dealer replaced was the oil, filter, cabin filter and wiper blades, There was $24.00 miscellaneous charge which I will inquire about tomorrow.
Also they charged me separately $50.73 (half hour labor) to replace second row seat broken handle, I purchased the part from the same dealer. I was expecting that they will do it as a courtesy but that didn't happen.
Comments?

That was a rip off MBmama. My mechanic charges $150-$175 tops and he gets rid of service indicator. Anyways, I am assuming it was charged on a credit card (I wonder which one). You can always dispute and fight with the dealer.

How much did you end up paying? My reminder just came yesterday that it is due in 30 days. I only had my CPO 08 for a year. Don't want to spend ton of money as it is trouble free right now.

Yup. That seems waaaay too much for just an oil change, cabin air filter, wiper blades, and a half hour labor. And they charged 24 extra dollars much of a reason.

numbers are approximate

service b is quoted at 2 hours in the book

at $150/hour that is $300 labor

oil filter is $20

oil is 9 quarts at $8 - $72

cabin filter is $70

wipers are $70

total: $532 or thereabouts

plus tax plus disposal fee...

Service operations, dealer or independent, make their money on the difference between actual job time and "book" time.
