The service required is dependent upon your specific needs and location. Upon examining MB pricing during the New Year, I saw that select dealerships were providing very low rates on certain service items at various service intervals, including gearbox service. Consequently, my independent dealer reduced their pricing to maintain a competitive edge over the local Mercedes dealership.
I discovered that manipulating the mileage in the online booking tool enabled the inclusion of specific service items that were due, such as a brake fluid change or gearbox service. Additionally, further adjustments to the mileage resulted in these same services being available at a lower cost when booked online. It is unclear how it functions. I am uncertain if, upon discovering the lowest price, the dealer would then attempt to impose additional charges for services such as brake fluid replacement or gearbox maintenance if the car's mileage is excessive. I would want to ascertain the specific additional effort necessitated by the mileage mismatch on those goods. I could estimate none.
