NJ/NYC which dealers for A/B service?
For those who live in the NJ/NYC area, which dealer to recommend or avoid for service?
One would think the Manhattan dealer is the best choice as its owned by MB?

I am not a regular NYker...........however worked in WHiTE PLAINS for 30+ yrs (uused be normal Monday to Fri to be there) then leave for Cape Cod Area....
and have had lots of 'company cars' from a MB dealer around there ,however one that ALWAYS looked after me (&most importantly MY POCKET)... was SILVER STAR MOTORS.....( sorry not affiliated anyways to them).....ASK for JIM - you can mention : Mike from MA : recommended you
As they really looked after me (have had my GLK250 added some extra stuff there after delivery - drive first 300Miles to there) and they have an ONLINE Wholesale Division to boot! (HINT::: tax free if your place orders for parts you might need there in advance & get them to install those same parts !!!)

I wasn't not impressed with MB of Manhattan, terrible service (and I was just trying to get some info).
I used go to Benzel Busch in Englewood, now I do service myself.
They have very nice facility, and only MB rentals. You can see the entire shop too (glass walls) and see how work is done. Pretty cool. It's also one of the largest dealers in the country.

MB Manhattan just quoted me $500 for a 10k service for GLK250. Crazy, is this the price people will pay so they dont have to leave "the island"

Surprised to hear that, unless diesel service costs more.My coworker brings his infiniti to NYC and service price is the same as other dealers. It's also convenience - it would be easier for me to drive into the city and pick up car after work than go to NJ dealer on saturday. For reg. GLK350 service A is $250 at Benzel-busch. Some dealers might want to add other service that is not necessary.
