all our mercedes came with free services.. have they even checked to see if its free for them?

 

yeah, usually they are for the first few years

 

Recent MBZ's do NOT come with free maintenance (at least from factory, it can be puchased as a 'stand alone' option). Only BMW is still offering 'free maintenance' (they just add the cost into the MSRP).

 

If you take it to the dealership pay, they call it a service B. It will be $250 - $275. At 9k, the service indicator has not triggered, it should between 10 to 12k.

MB uses synthetic, I can't recall but it's a lot more than our cars. Factor in if they use just the replacement filter or filter kit, the price will vary. Add that plus labor, $100 is not that expensive if you are paying retail.

Hell there are vendors where who charges like $75 for a synthetic oil change on our cars.

 

I just did my BMW, saved like $$$$ money. It cost me about $50.00..I used Castrol 0w30 and a KN Filter..But I bought that package from Autozone on last months sales ad..

I just checked and there new Promo is Valvoline Synpower for 26.99 with filter.
