You can order the Service B kit online for $130 and do it yourself in less than 2 hours. Service A is just an oil change and that kit is about $75. That means my 3 services only cost me $280 and a few hours of my time. I do my services on my 2 Mercedes and my Audi myself and I am NOT a mechanic. Its actually pretty easy and saves me tons of money. I only take it to the stealership when necessary. About the only thing the dealer does is my brake flush. FYI, at 50,000 miles your MB will need spark plugs. The dealer will charge about $400 but you can do it yourself for about $75 and it takes less than an hour. Too easy. Because its so easy and cheap, I change my oil every 5,000 miles. I use the money saved doing my own service to fly business class when taking trips. 👍
@Edgar Ramirez I just had an issue with 2 coil packs going bad. Took it to the dealer to diagnose they recommended replacing all 6 coil packs and spark plugs ($1900, replace battery ($450), oil change ($250), engine air filter and cabin filter ($200). I said thanks and paid $125 diagnosis fee. Ordered the coils/plugs from FC Euro ($300) got the oil, all filters, and battery from O'Reiley's ($400). Spent another $50 on additional tools and did the work myself. Basically almost $3000 at the dealer and about $700 to do it myself. It was time consuming but not too difficult. Like I said, if I can do it, I know you can. I did it all just by watching TH-cam videos. th-cam.com/video/yxhC_nO_MYQ/w-d-xo.html
You save 30%-40% cost with Pre-Paid Maintenance from Mercedes Benz. If you really want the service cost to be low and you want everything to be done to the Mercedes-Benz specifications and have a peace of mind, always go with pre-paid maintenance. Even when you buy a used star certified car from Mercedes-Benz Dealership, you can buy pre-paid Maintenance package. Not too many people know about this so I thought of sharing the information with people who want to own a Benz.. Cheers..
Excellent advice! Also, pay the $18-20 a month and *get the extended warranty!* Certified Pre owned, includes additional 1yr factory wrty extension, plus any years you buy. So your car would have had _7yrs total factory wrty_ coverage. Which means it would _always_repaired _with genuine parts!_ Plus Service Loaner vehicles.
@@nyanaturals2705 They are a little vague, but I found this: "Our Star Prepaid Maintenance plan offers 2 or 3 different service packages to choose from. It can be purchased for model year 2009 or newer vehicles with a total vehicle mileage ceiling of 80,000 accumulated miles. As goes with prepaid maintenance purchased on new vehicles, Mercedes-Benz offers various, flexible payment options."
I have a 2016 mercedes c class 300 with 35k miles on it. I have always done oil change, filters and fluids myself. Saved over 2K from the dealer. I can't justify to pay so much money for labor...
@@Mertusa this car will depreciate too much anyways, with or without records. The money saved from the dealer over the years is all extra cash at the end IMO.
Once it's past warranty it doesn't much matter as long as you don't cheap out on the Oil or Parts. But if its under warranty I'm not sure of implications of working on it yourself, and you'ld be resetting the service interval counter?
I don’t see the reason why you are not taking it to a dealer for service.. Mercedes Benz takes a long time to go for service .. especially if it’s 35k miles ..that’s less miles to complaining of service…
You said you have THREE other Mercedes? Must be rough! I’m NOT judging, you do you 😉 I test drove C300 couple yrs ago and disliked it (at the time). Total road/engine noise heard frm inside veh area was highly disappointing, along w/few other concerns. Ended up staying w/Infiniti and leased my fourth one. Went w/SUV from previous Sedans. BUT, watching your video and many others makes me want to go back to Sedan and possibly test drive a C class again once lease up on Infiniti. Thank you for informative video on maint pricing and NICE A$$ RIDE 🔥🔥
Thank you, give c class another try and I believe there is a all new c class coming. Since the other 3 Mercedes have prepaid maintenance it's not that bad
The larger rims, smaller engines, really take their toll on Noise Suppresion, but that's what people want. 😒 How much did you pay for the Infiniti compared to C class? Thousands more, thousands less?
Bro you can do all that yourself with OEM parts. you can do everything for like $200 or less. $500 something that's crazy. most of it is in labor. and fees. school yourself and save money bro. Don't take your car to the dealership unless its something really serious. small maintenance like that do it yourself DIY I do everything myself and I have the same car. the only thing I let the dealership did was the transmission fluid change because I am still learning how to do it the right way. that was $500 by itself
@@POGAuto teach a man how to fish and he’ll feed the whole village, if you had a video showing you doing a service I’m sure you’d get a lot more views that labour cost was ridiculous tbh lol but hey good luck!
@@Alvan81 dealers want to take the most amount of money and they often do unecessaey things just to charge you. As many said above learn oil change and airfilter change. If you are lazy and have lot of money i understand xD

I got a c220d 2020 pre owned certified from Mercedes benz which got around 18K km. Do you think the car is reliable? If i do the service properly and take care of The car?
Do you recommend going to the dealership for an oil change? I just took mine out after 2 months as I was out on a vacation & now wondering if I should get my engine oil changed What do you suggest?
Maybe that’s why most people keep it for like 4 years and when the warranty is done it’s time for a new car. Technically someone else will buy the car used and have to deal with it so I see what you mean but if Mercedes says every 20k km as a new car owner I will follow that
@@POGAuto yeah ofc if you going to sell the car in a few years it doesn't matter. But like i said, if u plan to keep it, the 20 000km oil changes will bite you in the long run.
Since interest rates are 0% with decent credit you're; not really "financing" the Pre Paid Maintenance anyway right??!! 😉 So bonus. I've always purchased used from dealer, or Certified Pre-Owned. Original owner takes the Depreciation hit. (Unless they leased) Then I buy Extended factory warranty so I get 3-5 years *extra* factory warranty. and Then all the complaints about maintenence or repairs are quashed! Plus free loaner during servicing so no down time! That's worth hundreds of $ right there.
People are stupid if they think they can go 20,000km without an oil change. It doesn’t matter if the manufacturer says it’s okay, talk to any mechanic and they’ll say otherwise
@@POGAuto he’s not lying to you as a mechanic I’m cringing so hard watching this video not only bc of the 20km but the dealer is literally stealing from out your pocket sir
True so true when I bought mine I had two free oil changes or two free maintenance like an a ir b They told me I’m good for 10k. I don’t drive much so I’m good but DONT DO IT. get it done at a 3 or 6 month at the most. If you drive a lot every 3. The reason Mercedes says come back in 10 k is because they are free. Your not paying for it.
So, take advice from the mechanic who's getting paid to do it, rather than following the manufacturer's recommendations...hmmmn Sounds just about right🤔🤔🤔
Why not do that stuff yourself? Summerfit is Mercedes branded windshield washer fluid. They charged you $4.95 for 40ml which is 1.3 ounces of concentrate that has to be mixed with water. An extremely expensive way to do washer fluid, buy the all season stuff in a store premixed. That part number oil is essentially Mobil One Synthetic Oil which is sold here for $24 for 1 gallon (4qt). Apparently yours takes 7 quarts for which they charge you $13.95 each. Damn. Additives are over-priced. As for the key fob battery every car has them, I just replaced mine at 3 years when it started failing for half the price. Dust filter is probably a cabin air filter and easily accesssible by the owner. That's Canada so the dollar amounts are likely higher than here but still overpriced.
Thinking about buying a nice car. But dont wanna pay out the Wubula for repairs. I'm also looking at acuras. Heck even Nissan. Really just want something nice yet affordable. Something i can throw my subs in that wont cause someone to walk by and be like ooh thats nice then break in which has prevented me from wanting a jeep. These luxury builds make my mouth water but makes my wallet hurt
The b is just an oil change with the extra as a brake exchange. Do it local. My brake exchange total 80 bucks. Dude you are getting ripped off stay away from dealership.
