2019 GLC 300 RWD with 30K miles.
Got a quote from an independent mechanic $650 for trans fluid drain and fill with OE Parts including filter and gasket. Is this reasonably priced? In So Cal.

I paid $950 recently at the dealer for the trans service, if the independent is doing everything in the work instructions along with using all Mercedes parts/fluids that's good price.

try Mercedes of Calabasas for a quote first if you're near them, their pricing is great for a dealer. definitely sounds reasonable though

Somehow, I don't trust indies touching crucial parts of my GLC. It's my personal principle.

I just did this service to my MY19 GLC300.
It was $300 for OEM parts and $200 for 10 liters of OEM fluid.
I drained the torque converter and pan, replaced the pad and ended up using around 8.5 liters of fluid. I did not do a flush.
Took about 3 hours to complete.
Dealer in the Cincinnati area were quoting $1500 for the service.

I did shift thru the gears (P,R,N,D) while it was warming up (with foot on the pedal) just to cycle some of the valves, but it really isn't necessary.
Nowadays, the dealer does a flush so they don't have to drain the torque converter.

I have done both a 2017 and 2018 (same process) using Xentry. It is a very specific instruction set that requires the parking brake to be set. Engine RPM increased to >2,800 RPM for >2 seconds. Valves are cycled in P and N only, temperature dependent to move to next steps. Once all steps are completed, then it's position 3 on the pan until a thin line to set level. Then position 1 and drain plug installed to complete the work.
