True, but anyone who has ever used MB for servicing on a regular basis will have had a similiar experience at one time or another.
In my experience, taking a year old car with low mileage for a B service, which really only involves checking the vehicle over & changing the oil & filters, results in a bill between £500 to £600. Nothing you say can convince me that MB servicing rates are acceptable.

Remain it should
Considering that "road test" would be part of the B service then, on the face of it, that's outrageous. And how long where they out for - normally the road test is around the block.They have charged me £62.00 to take it for a test drive!!! What?!
I've said this before, but I think all dealers invite trouble by itemising out every little item. "Fastener" :lol:I've been charged for rear brake pads - no problem there. Then they've also charged me for brake rotors; 2 x brake cleaner; 2 x brake discs; brake shoe; sender unit; fastener; oh and let's not for the brake paste. Then we move onto V belt; fuel filter; air filter clean; and fuel hose. Then comes the service along with a washer; battery set; seal ring; combi filter; oil filter; oil; oil filler cap; and brake fluid.
Define "a bit of play". Did the test station issue an advisory? Seems odd that the dealer missed an opportunity to take even more money, though.The best bit was that I've just had it MoT'd and they missed a bit of play on the offside track rod.
Well, it's a bit late now but taking a 5yr old, 100K miles car that's rarely been dealer serviced to an MB dealer is a bit mad.Does this stuff sound reasonable after 4 years of servicing and maintenance by mainly non Mercedes garages?
Hi Hawk, long time no argue :lol:
Why's the dealer getting all the attention, in this thread .......... It makes it about as far as "off topic" could go, in my opinion. all the dealer was trying to do was give you a car that worked, .......... well..........and safely !!
How do you know that? We have not seen the details yet of what was done. I have asked but not yet received.

The OP asked ....... Does anyone think I had 'Idiot' written on my forehead ...?!
Well the answer is undoubtedly yes !! ............. you've dithered hithered and changed your mind over how it all came about ........ all the dealer was trying to do was give you a car that worked, .......... well..........and safely !!
Perhaps you and your husband could communicate better, next time you book a car in for service !
With each other, and the dealer !!!
