Evening
So 4,500 and 11 months on from a full B service and ATF change, the CLK tells me it needs an A service. Consequences of mainly using it for short trips......
Booked it in for an A service, but when i asked ballpark cost, was told £250 to £300. Obviously way too much for what i thought would be an interim oil and filter change. This is a decent MB indi
They do a standard/ annual service as is their preference, and i do follow advice, but still it sounds overkill and is over £100 more than i am prepared to fork out given the thorough work last year (plus rear brakes in the summer).
Mindful it's a respected local indi (it's not Olly) what is the view on what is being recommended to me?
Car is running like a dream, but i do hold with the old school view of and oil change every 12 months.
