I will be shocked if that price includes no extras, its not possible.The discs and pads all arrived, were the real deal and were fantastic. Installed in a couple of hours and feel brilliant. Definitely a bargain!!!
Yes my car is due for a Service A - which is £830.10 without additional items. The reason I say it’s a very expensive “oil change” is because when I read what is done on a Service A - it appears to be a oil and filter change and a look around the car. If I want the plugs doing too, the total cost is basically £1,000.
Please correct me if I’m mistaken with this, as I’d be happy if they were actually doing more than that for the money!
See here for what the Mercedes website tells me;
