Lets get this straight, people don't do their homework, ask what something will cost in advance, or get other prices to compare and then are shocked with dealer costs? Use your head, you just bought yourself an education. Yes the cars aren't cheap, and if you can't afford dealer service then try to learn how to do things on your own. Why not go to an Italian restaurant and complain that you were charged $17 for 50 cents worth of pasta. Seriously, find out labor rates and what is expected. If the cost far exceeds what was quoted stand up for yourself at the dealer or independant and don't pay for it. Argue or dispute the charges. Most people don't want to bother and instead just take it. In the future it can be prevented with a little effort. Once you open your mouth you will be shock how much a bill can be reduced. In the end they will still want your business. Goodluck!!!

I have a 08 CLS63 and my dealer (Tafel Louisville) charged $375 for the service. 9 qt Mobil ATF 13 @ $8 qt, gasket, filter & labor. Also did software update for harsh 2-1 downshift, but this was covered under my extended warranty.
Brake fluid flush cost $132.

I dont mean to point out that your wrong because indeed the manufacturer reversed their opinion and made this transmission serviceable.
