Basic A service w204 c63 with no extra items due

[Spider10]

A service shouldn't have brake fluid
That's B service every 2 year's?

Not necessarily. That’s why it’s an additional item. This happens when cars are serviced more often than every 12 months.

Good point - just checked and it was changed last year with the B service so not sure why ESS shows it's due, so just a basic A service this year then.

It would cost me £40 in fuel to get to Guildford and back
But yes, Mercedes value service is similar to what I'm paying.
No Mobilo with a value service though?

You know I hate whisky.

Big difference in price for the same service.
Labour rates higher at Dartford?

The chance of it being nicked is higher in Dartford , maybe that’s why the price difference

Morning all, have had a good old read through this thread as I fell off my chair when i spoke to MB Dartford today.

Got my w205 c63 estate due its B6 service in 60 days so i called them for a quote which came in at £1624 incl vat. Am I going mad?

Might be an indy at this rate - i'm in Bromley, Kent if anyone has any recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

 

[tonysmb]

I don't have the list to hand but I suspect that B6 is the 'major' service with plugs as well as air/ pollen filters, brake fluid etc.. Are you going mad, no, but service and parts prices are continually increasing and £1600 doesn't surprise me at all.

Have you looked at the price of a service plan?

No need to speak to anyone, lakeside will save you a few hundred, southend will be even better value

Thanks All,

So many great pieces of advice here. Lakeside were £300 cheaper for a start!

Awaiting a call back re a service plan.

Got some quotes from indy's that have been recommended on other threads - Wright Tech and AMf who have come in at £1050 & £1200 respectively.

Looks like i'm paying at least a grand either way but now i understand it includes spark plugs and gearbox service/oil change too which makes sense on the extra cost.

As always.. forums being as invaluable as ever. Thanks all!

What year is the car?

 

[Dansta]

2017.

Care plan was no good as it wouldn't include the Gearbox service and Sparkplugs.

So basically £1200 for the plan PLUS £800 for the gearbox and sparkplugs. £2k all in.

 

[Spider10]

Shouldn't the transmission be done last year ? And i take it that this is the 2nd plug change
