I received an email from Mercedes of Thousand oaks (los angeles area) to do the annual maintenance service. $1100 and $1500 for service a and service B.

Pretty obnoxious pricing would you say?

 

for an oil change A service and a few checks - They crazy!

Shop rate must be $500/hr

 

Woah A service has really gone up over the years.

 

MB dealers seem to be chasing Porsche dealer pricing. This signals that Porsche dealer oil changes will soon increase from $1000 to $1500.

I DIY my Cayenne oil changes for $75 with full synthetic oil.

 

$180 for Service A
$280 for Service B

Ray's MBZ in Pasadena...excellent service and prices, tell Ray John in the Black C43 sent you.

 

Thanks so much.

 

Sce A / B attractive offers

Standard sce B includes an additional $325 cabin filter over the 8x Quarts $1,500. oil change.

 

I'd wait for the regular $1475 & $1800 pricing to resume -- they might not be as thorough and conscientious when they're losing money. Even worse, they might unplug the customer lounge espresso machine to compensate.
