Greetings, everyone.

The local independent mechanic has provided me with a quotation of £350 for a B service. It is very burdensome to me, but could you kindly verify if my perception is only a result of self-deception or whether it is really rational?

Additionally, are there any particular crucial service tasks that must be performed at the 100,000-mile mark?

To begin, enquire with MB about their fee for doing a comparative analysis of the services' worth.

Hello, I appreciate your prompt reply.

Apologies, I am uncertain about your request to evaluate the worth of the services.

Enquire with MB about their pricing structure to provide a comparison between potential savings and the fees associated with independent service providers.

It is similar to enquiring about the cost of a new boiler from British Gas.
Please inform us of your progress.

In my opinion, the B service seems satisfactory. I would recommend considering a gearbox oil change, which would cost around £400.

A B is a primary service that requires more time and components.

The B service is similar to the A service, but it involves more inspections, which results in a longer duration. In addition to inspections and topping up, the sole service provided is an oil change. Other components such as the air filter and spark plugs have their own distinct maintenance regimens. Enquire extensively.

It seems that the automobile requires Service A. (100,000-mile service) MB charges £725 for this service, which includes a coolant replacement as well. I spoke with the local mechanic and confirmed that a coolant replacement is part of the £350 they quoted. The cost of replacing the brake fluid is £65, which is an acceptable price. Unexpectedly, the Indian stock market is now becoming attractive, and I can affirm that I am experiencing a state of illusion.

I believe I was influenced by several internet platforms that provide fixed-cost Mercedes maintenance, which some garages provide at about £275.

Scheduled an appointment with a local individual for the next month. I got the gearbox serviced at the independent mechanic shortly after purchasing it last year.
