$695 two years prepaid maintenance package, worth it?

I get this quote from local dealership. Is this price fair ? Dealer told me I can only do maintenance at their dealership with this package

Not true. One can get MB maintenance, as well as extended warranty, at any US dealer. And use it at any dealer.

Search the forum, there are some honest dealers around that will sell for a reasonable price.
Hope this helps.

Dealer told me this is not MB maintenance package. It’s their dealership offering . Is it a good deal ?

Well, there is no universal answer. It depends.
The very first question is what is expected mileage/year? Car is due for service every 10k miles.

If the total cost of all services during the two years is more than $695, then the answer is yes.
And I would check the fine print...like if there is mileage limit, in addition to the two years time limit?

Makes sense?

2 years of service for 695? No way it’s worth it.
look online for coupons to your local MBZ dealers. Service A goes for 175-190 and service B for about 350 with coupons.

Sadly those numbers only seem to be in CA... in IL it's $300/$600 and best deal I ever got to was $250 and $500 with coupons. While service is every 10k, it's also every 12 months if you don't hit 10k which I don't so I end up having to pay ridiculous amounts for these service intervals.

The wife's BMW - free. Wish they all still just included maintenance in the warranty... though even BMW is getting away from that.
