Service C, Radiator flush, fuel injector flush
My 2008 S550 has 58,000 miles. I am due for the service. My dealer quoted me $375 for the service and also said I am due for a fuel injector flush for $190 and a radiator flush for $190.
According to the maintenance schedule the flushes are not listed. Does anyone have any input on these? Thanks. |
The only "flush" listed in the maintenance schedule is for brake fluid every two years. $190 for a radiator flush seems way too expensive. There has to be a lot of profit in this. That alone is more than I have been paying for "A" service. I would seriously consider using a different dealer, assuming one is available in your area.

Think about this one.
I'm facing a similar situation. My 2010, with about 19,000 miles on the odometer, is calling for a "C" service in 1,000 miles. The corresponding items in the Maintenance Manual for the 20,000 mile service include:
$375 doesn't seem too bad for the basic work. My primary dealer in Ohio actually told me they look at it as a "B" service with some extras, including the brake fluid change and the cabin filter change. They told me it will be about $550! Yikes. :eek: EDIT: My Indie Mechanic who does a few Mercedes cars each day wants $350-$400 for the 20,000 mile service. Good luck! :) |
