Brake Pads - $310
Air Filters - $163
Battery Replacement - $280
"B" Service - $650
I fell like going in there yelling and screaming RAPE!, RAPE! at the top of my lungs.
Seriously can anyone be trusted with servicing our cars for a reasonable price??
Thanks for reading my rant, just had to let it out!
Actually, that's not bad for a dealership. I hope that statement makes you fell a little better --- but I know how you feel.
I'd say do what you can that's within your capabilities on your own and then leave it to the dealer (or a good independent shop) to do the rest. You could have saved yourself at least a few 400 dollars by installing the battery, doing the oil and installing the filters yourself.
Still, I wouldn't feel too bad about all that was done for that price, especially if MB did it. At least maybe they knew what they were doing with the car -- and it should be road worth for another 50K miles.
No Worries
