Had my AMG CLA 45 for a few months and its due its first 10k service (A). Local dealer quoting £590 for this?? I know its a performance car but I've had Audi S4, Evo X, etc previously and don't remember it being that high for a first service??

Hi
Input your details via the link below and check, your quote sounds way too expensive for a first service.
Supplying your own oil reduces the cost significantly.

Have you considered a service plan which I believe is £35 a month for an annual service.
My 2004 SL500 is shortly due an A service.....would you believe MB want nearly £1k!!!!! If I just go for an oil and filter change its £159 on the 7+ year service but I think that is still a lot for a 30min job.
Not worth it for me, I can do some of the service items myself and have a local indy to do the rest.
Id never take a 13 year old Merc to a main dealer...

If you have a car that needs to be serviced at the dealers for warranty/mobilo purposes, then a service plan is probably the way to go.
If not, then an Indy is advised if you want to keep the FSH or DIY if it's an old banger like mine

The £1k quote must include many additional items though.
The OP's quote doesn't sound too far off the mark to me. My experience of MB servicing / repairs was that the bill started off at a minimum of £500 and then increased by multiples of that amount. It is one of the reasons I no longer drive a Mercedes.

Not necessarily. I have my car serviced 'pay as you go' and there was not a great deal in it.

Service plan also inflation proofs the costs

Few recommendations here and we're only on page one
I suggested it. I didn't recommend it but I think it is worth considering.
Maybe I have read it wrong and take it back. Never looked at the service plan in detail, except from checking the monthly cost against actual servicing cost.
I'm sure that there will also be ample of exclusions in the scheme.
