Wreck

My dash indicates that I have 400 miles till the next service. I have 99' E55 which I got used and never sent it to an MB service.

I know my car is still under the orignal warrentee and I only have 21K miles on it.

My question are

1. What are they going to do?
2. It's it like my BMW where the service is FREE?

THanks

they should change the oil and filter with synthic oil ,change the air filter,,the dust filters for climate control .lube chassis and body seals/hinges,ans so on ,connect with hand held tester and cleanr any errornis fault codes....

unfortunatly service on your 99 is not free,,in northern va 475.00

if you had purscased a 2000 the service would be included for 4 years or 50k miles

$475. Damm.. With that kind of money I can buy something cool like a new amp or cpu or maybe alot of lap dances. Oh well there not much I do about that I guess.

Over here, a typical FSS A-Service is $259.95 for 4-6-8 cylinders. It sounds like an AMG service could be more involved or a rip-off.

Here's whats done:
filter change and synthetic oil
new dust filter
inspect brake pads and rotors
rotate wheels
check and correct fluid levels
reset FFS indicator

The list doesn't seem too hard for a non-mercedes mechanic to do. I go to an independent garage for a $10 oil change with my Redline oil and OE filter and for the other stuff I don't want to do myself. The resetting of the FFS indicator is done as a favor by the dealer.

Shop around and have enough left over for the champagne room.

Here's a FSS B-service for $409.95

includes A-service
replace wiper inserts
lubricate and inspect trottle linkage
balance wheels
inspect undercarriage for leaks
check a/c refrigerant level
inspect V-belt

Its still no bargain.

NONE of the flex services are bargains

Without the warranty, it is expensive like others said. But standard oil change/filter by a reputable Euro shop should be $70.00, unlike 125.00 at the dealer..

I recently had mine serviced, I paid 385 for the service, they didn't change air filters, but replace the wiper blade (what a waste, that blade was perfect)
