Is £690 for an a5 service from Mercedes too much

You will find its cheaper if you take out a service plan. Is your car now 5 years old so looking at an autobox service as well? If so you save hundreds doing it on the service plan. Mine was £35 a month for 12mths. It's really bizarre as if you take one out at year 4&5 (the most expensive service years) you save loads. Even the independent Mercedes guys couldn't beat it

My car is over 14 yrs old, and I still find Service Care plan a better value - I did last A service myself, but put it back on its Service Care plan at the end of last year, and just had a D service (B + 4; 6; 8 and 12) done today, as a first of three over three years, with ATF, coolant and fuel filter (a tank out job in 169 petrol) due next year, all for £32 a month.
Yup, they changed the CVT 722.8 guidelines from once after 37.5k miles (60k km), to every five years, so had one done by MB Northampton in 2016, next one is confirmed for 2021.Does the ATF get called for again? I've always thought it was a one-off change, but MB does keep changing things. Ask if you can have the old fuel filter.
Thanks for the replies
I did ask about the service plan . For two years it was £515 up front then 43 per month which worked out about a £100 saving over two years but you pay in advance
they do ask for an upfront payment of the next service is imminent...
Didn't with me. I took service plan out when I booked it in. The dealer actually pointed it out saving me fair bit
