My 2014 W212 is due for a B1 service. Priced at £556 which has served to remind me why I moved away from MB previously. All my local dealers are Lookers so the price will be the same across all of them. Has anyone had any luck getting a better price from a different franchise? I could of course go to an indie but....
a) do indies update the electronic service record that MB hold?
b) would I get any TSBs, software updates, map updates etc automatically that would be done by an MB dealership?
I don't plan to keep the car forever so prefer a genuine MB service record but these prices take the p!ss for what they do. It's still only an oil change, a bit of AdBlue, a couple of filters and a check of various bits. No more than any other manufacturer does for far less money.
