Service B Master Tech
I've got a Service B coming up in about 12 days and was wondering do most of you guys only allow Mater techs to work on your vehicle? Also what are some of the necessities that should be done and how much should I be looking to pay.
On my dash it shows service A1, but it has been almost 1 year since my service A. could someone please inform me if I'm correct by assuming that I should have a service B done?
Thank you

my car only see's the hands of the amg master certified tech... if he's not in, my car won't come in. i personally hand him my keys to pull it into the shop and take it from valet. no service writer or valet person see's my keys. yes you can request for it to happen. We're in Long Island. This is my tech. Even brake jobs, he takes care of cleaning the rotor hat and calipers! Amazing service.

It costs the customer the exact same! The dealer saves a ton of money when they have their tire technicians or entry level technicians (who get paid significantly less than a Master Technician) work on your car... they may be paying a tire tech or entry level tech close to minimum wage (because they have little to no experience) to work on your “far from minimum wage” expensive vehicle. You can respectfully ask for a Master Tech and Master Tech only, and you can expect the service to cost you the same 😎

I have a service B1 come up within about 1,000 miles and I was just going to take it to my trust worthy tech just a few minutes from my house instead of driving an hour to the dealer and leave the car over night. The close tech is not an AMG certified mechanic, he's just been working on german cars for a couple decades. Should that be a concern and should it take her to the dealer instead?

hey guys let me touch on this, the first amg made a good point, the dealer does pay lower techs less hence costing them less however when your vehicle goes to a dealer the team leader decides who he assigns your car to and usually AMGs will get assigned to a more senior tech, that being said for something like an A or B service any trained MB Tech is more than qualified to do this. I myself do it on my own car but I wouldnt worry too much about maintenance being done by someone who is a master tech. Master techs usually are assigned to more complicated diagnostic work and the services are done by the less qualified guys who are generally doing services all day long. You can request an AMG technician but i gotta tell you in many cases it doesnt matter if you take it to a prestigious dealer whose technicians go through a lot of training, prime example is my dealership which does not hire any and everyone, your car is treated with respect and care.
