GLC 300 Oil Change Cost
Hey guys, I recently purchased a 2022 GLC 300 with a 4/yr maintenance service agreement. The cost of the service came up to $2670.00, and looking at the MB website, its cost is $1750.00 as advertised.
Right now I'm thinking I'm overpaying for 4 oil changes, but have no clue. Should I get my money back and just have the service done somewhere else?

I actually bought both, but yeah the extended warranty is about $100 more than the service plan. I now know I overpaid for it... I think I will cancel the purchase from the dealer and try to get my money back. I understand this may be bought online at a cheaper price. Also, is it true that doing service outside a MB dealer voids the warrranty?

A - just an oil and oil filter change which is $150 at the dealer
B - adds filters, engine air filter, dust and cabin filters. Not sure about the cost but could be $500 or even more.
You can do services anywhere you like, or your self as I do it wont violate the warrant as theirs is the federal law but dealers always tells you otherwise and want you to bring car for service

Wow. If understand right its 2x Service A and 2x Services B
A - just an oil and oil filter change which is $150 at the dealer
B - adds filters, engine air filter, dust and cabin filters. Not sure about the cost but could be $500 or even more.

The B service is an oil change, wiper blades, air/cabin filter changes, brake fluid replacement, plus inspections
The A service oil change & wiper blades is about $250-300, depending on dealer/location and the B service which also includes the air/cabin filters and brake fluid changes costs $500-$700, again based on dealer/location. The brake fluid wasn't mentioned above (sorry if I missed it), and is a significant part of the B service.
So two of each service is $1,500 - 2,000 in total. It's more about convenience than big savings for those that buy (rather than lease) their cars. You get a small discount (in most cases) and you've locked in costs for the 4 years.
For those that lease (and don't buy out at the end), it's a virtual no-brainer of a deal. Most get the 3 year plan (which is like $1200-1300) unless they have a longer than 36 month lease and/or have 15k miles in their lease -- then they get the 4-year plan. The magic is that Mercedes adds the maintenance when calculating the residual value at the end of the lease. So if you have a 55% residual value (just an example) they add 55% of the maintenance to the residual value, and thus you only pay the other 45% of the maintenance costs during the term of the lease. So for my 4-year maintenance on my 2020 ($1,760 MSRP), they added a little over $20 a month to my payment for 42 months, and ~$900 to my buyout, so I will only pay about $850 for the 4 years of maintenance. Of course if I buy out the car at the end, I end up paying the other $900 (as my buyout is higher than it would have been if I didn't buy the maintenance).

I've always used a local German car shop for maintenance. Oil changes are about $110, transmission service is $300, brake fluid flush $100, etc. Basically everything is 30% to 50% less and they use all factory parts for filters, fluids, etc.
They wanted $2560 fur a 3 year maintenance plan for our 2022 GLC300 and our local shop will be about half that for the next 3 years.
If you can go to another dealership online and get a good deal it might be worth it, otherwise I'd pass and find a good foreign car shop near you.
