1k$ for B service doesnt sound too bad I guess...
I had my plugs done at my indep shop for $650 because the stealer wanted $1300.

MB CPO warranty doesnt cover the interior items like cup holders like the new factory warranty, but it does cover the big ticket items like suspensions tho..

my recent service B was $475.00 at a dealership. Didnt' need spark plugs but i thinking $1K is a quite high. correct me if I am wrong.

Why would you need plugs at 65k ?

At some point a few years back, the M-Bz extended warranty for the SL was revised to include the COMAND system.
