So, this is the first year of owning a Mercedes. I have a B service coming up soon and I was just wondering if someone can help me with the advantages and disadvantages of getting my car serviced by a Mercedes garage against getting it done from a private non specialised company.
I notice that a major B service can cost between £400-600 from a Mercedes specialist. However, if I take halfords auto centre as just one example, they can do a Major Service for about £279.
What is the difference? Is it really worth spending nearly double just to get a service done by a garage who specialise in Mercedes? What's wrong with a private car garage doing the same major service at half the price?
Cheers
