Hi - I have an A service notification up on the dash. Its an C63 08 plate done 20k miles. Looking at ATF being done as well from what I can tell from service intervals.
I bought it from main dealer up north but live in London so its my first time into servicing and I have a few questions!
Phoned AMG dealership in Loughton (closest dealer) and they quoted £750 including the ATF change and oil etc. This seemed pretty steep to me?? Whats general experience on cost for this service including ATF?
Secondly, I had an issue this weekend with the A/C - the light on the button is flashing and its not working (which the book helpfully tells me in a malfunction and to take to dealer!). Any experience on what this is likely to be?
Thirdly, the car is June 08 registered so out of manufacturers warranty but I bought the car in September/October last year from MB dealer so will still be in the secondhand dealer warranty I think - 1 year right? I have no idea what that warranty is if anything - is it worth getting into MB dealer for service in case something comes up that can be covered? Or is there no point and should avoid rip off and use Indie?
I don't really have an issue with MB vs Indie other than if it means I might miss out on warranty cover?
Bit of a ramble but any thoughts welcome....
