Is this the 3rd year service if so you will have the trans fluid change which is around 300 included in this. Spark plugs are around 200 fitted.
Have a look at my service it will tell you what is needed
Saving can be had on oil, dealers charge between £100-150 usually supply your own. Same with trans fluid I did this and saved my self around £220 just on oil.
My A service this time after supplying my own oil and removing air filters as I have Bmc is £210.

1700 miles? I wouldnt even bother. Maybe change the oil tops.

Gled i doubt it needs the plugs doing if hes done 1700 miles in a year.

Mine is due this month , Merc Southend have quoted me £750 . This is without a gearbox fluid change , as that was done under warranty when it developed a leak last year . It does include a loan car for the day . Too much ? If so who should I use ?

See my post above.

Is a loan car included with the service plan ?

I'm tempted by the service plan but I'm not sure of any decent service centres within London... I've heard a few stories.

Can anyone recommended a good Merc dealer service centre in London?

 

[Captain Smerc]

Not London but I regularly use Southend & Chelmsford , both seem to do a good job . If you want a indie then Motor Aid at Hainault are very good , lot of ex Merc techs work there . Speak to Steve Cooke , he's a nice guy .

It's kind of pointless saying you are being charged $XXX amount for a service. You need to provide details on what extra works are being done on the car.
For example, I was quoted c£750 for my A service which included ATF and brake fluid change. My B service quote on the other hand was £450 which only included air filter change.

I haggled both times and managed to get between 20-25% off the quoted price and fitting the air filter myself.

I think A service cost me around £570 and B service is going to cost me £290 + £20 I spent buying BMC filter cleaning kit.

Another well regarded indie is Wayne Gates - already contributed further up the thread.

No help for you being in the Southwest but I just had an A service on my car on Friday plus Brake Fluid change and all Spark plugs changed for £500 including a loan car. Local Indy quoted £480 using genuine parts so I thought I'd try the dealer (MB Teesside) to see what they'd do it for as the car has full MBSH. Figured it was worth paying the extra £20 to maintain the dealer service history.

Proves it's worth getting a quote elsewhere and then challenging the dealer to come somewhere near!

My C63 amg estate has just had 'A' service at Mercedes Exeter, cost £250 with me supplying the Oil and they supplied a loan car.

I did haggle them down to get that deal though, if you don't ask, you don't get
