- S204 C250 Sport
Yesterday I popped into my MK MB dealership after my C250 BE kindly advised me that the MD of the dealership needed to go on holiday and needed my cash, sorry, I meant to say that my brakes needed checking.
Car has done 28k miles from new, and dealer advised that it needed new front pads and discs. OK - maybe I'm a slightly enthusiastic driver, but thats not the point of this message.
Dealer quoted me £388 and some pennies. On checking, I notice the MB website has states that for all C Class, front discs and pads costs a firm, and exact £300.
Popped an email off MB, and they called the dealer that same day. Result ? A refund of £88 and some pennies. I was told that the dealer "didn't think that the Sport applied to the offer". Do MB fit other (perhaps non vented) discs to non Sport variants of the C Class ?
So - if your having brakes done at a dealer and been charged anything other than what the MB website says - make a point to question it.
