100k service costs?

[280_sport]

I have a C280 sport on P reg, what sort of cost should I be looking at for a 100k service from a garage that specializes in German cars but is not a MB dealer. As the car has reached 100k I think I also read somewhere its advisable to get the oil changed in the autobox again at what cost?

Thanks

Forgot to add does this car have a timing belt or chain and should I have that changed too?

Its a duplex chain so unless you have odd noises (shouldn't at 100k) then ignore. Service wise, it depend on whether it's an A or B service due, but around £100-200 for an A and maybe £300 for a B. It depends a lot on what it will need.
100k isn't specific on a Merc but other items tend to be done every 40k (gearbox oil & filters), 60k etc etc so it depends on whether they have been done already or what has been neglected.
The 100k rules on the gearbox I believe relates to later boxes than yours. My 1996 C class was every 40k anyway.

What Jberks says is a very good guide.
From my point and cars, if I intend to keep the car for some time, I always change all oils and filters, as its the cheapest protction you can get. then at least you know.
