I have a rant around this time
Service B not due until Sept, ie 12 months and I often get it
done at 13 months but may wait the 3 months or 1000 miles
from Sept. This keeps the breakdown cover in place
The car is a MB/GLE/250d - had from new 2016
and only done 22k mille
The car has FSH by MB
Dartford, my local is charging just under 972 quid and I believe that does not inc the AdBluse
Across the water, Lakeside is charging 766
The additional items this time, inc in price

- I'm guessing even an Indy will charge around 550/500 inc VAT
- I'm consider Indy etc as most of the service work is visual as always and I'm pretty sure they miss some of that. The last B service the dealer
- forgot to change the key battery and the reason I knew, I sent the car with the key that did not work on the global open/closing of windows etc
- and they had in the past given me the second battery to put in the second key
- The only thing stopping me going to an Indy is the Mobilo cover will lapse and I believe you can't buy it stand-alone.
- I am aware Mobilio partners are RAC.
- Last year, twice the fuel filler cap jammed up and I had Mobilo around and they had the parts for it.
- I don't think I'm selling the car as I'm unwell and can't justify the additional 40k in p/x for a new GLE
- What would you do?
