servicing costs

[chrisbrad66]

Hi all, i just phoned my local indy this morning to ask for a B service quote for my 50,000 mile c320cdi, i nearly fell on the floor when he said £330 plus VAT!!! does this sound right or is he taking the p---? it's already had a new fuel filter and gearbox oil and filter change at 45000 mile, i feel this is a bit steep. Your thoughts please???

Have a look at MB websites for fixed servicing prices. I pay around £350 inc VAT to my dealer for a basic B service. Obviously filters etc are extra..and I get Mobilio renewed for another year. Has to be a better deal than your independant guy.

All IMHO of course...

I agree - that is £400 inc VAT - what is he going to do for £400? Obviously an oil and filter change - but what else?

welcome to the world of MB, if you think that's expensive you should try Mitsubishi!

You need to contact this chap:

Ian is a good indy based near Preston. He looks after my 211 and I highly recommend him

You may need to take some hobnobs with you!
Oh yes, If a guy called John approaches you with a dripping soapy sponge and a wild look in his eyes its best just to let him get on with it!
