How Much a Service Cost on a Mercedes C300

[@aalberto4961]

I used to own a BMW and remember going to the dealer and expecting to pay many hundreds of dollars and up over a thousand for regular routine maintenance. That was in my 20s and was living the average middle class “normal person” life with lots of debt (car, mortgage, credit cards, etc.) During the last recession of 2008 me and my wife were impacted badly and almost lost our home because debt piled up too much. We got serious and turned our lives around. For many years we didn’t buy any cars we couldn’t afford (no leasing and financing allowed). It turned out well in the end and going debt free was the solution. These days we prefer to daily drive just “regular” non luxury cars. I bought 2 Chevrolet Bolt EVs (paid cash) 3 years ago and I pay about $65CAD every 6 months for routine maintenance. The most I’ll spend is just over $200 if brakes need “servicing” which involves cleaning them out. I had that done once so far for both cars. I also own an Infiniti QX80 which is still hanging around and garaged. I just drive that during the summer time. The maintenance costs for that are consistent with cars of that type which is okay too. Good luck and stay safe in 2021!

[@1mindatatime83]

You were right . Repos are at an all time high bc of the inflation and recession

[@paulevans240]

You can get regular maintenance, oil changes, exchange of brake fluid and transmission fluid, and filter at AAA, Goodyear, etc, for about 50% of the cost charged by the dealer. Fact. Same service at a huge savings.

[@arabiantxn]

Prepaid maintenance packages is a deal, I have found the dealership to be a bit expensive honestly but the complete inspection and just in depth inspection they do is worth my peace of mind

[@sherkhanbaloch9697]

[@gazmendpepaj7542]

[@Ahmed-if9rg]

That's nice just make sure you buy the right oil listed in the Mercedes manual to avoid any problems.

[@ricksays7133]

I would say the fuel and oil additives and remote battery change were not necessary. It seems like they added those to keep service A on a certain price bracket.

[@brutusdior1550]

Exactly my thoughts. Deals are a scam when it comes to service..

[@paperroutee]

oil additives are actually necessary on mercedes’ benz especially on the c300 7th generation since they’re prone to cracking at slow speeds due to high pressure

[@kingwong597]

Its the labor cost at Mercedes Benz dealerships that get you. I use to go to the dealership to get my car worked on until I found out that it was 240$ an hr for labor. Now i go to my local European specialized mechanic which only charges 100$ an hour. Also, if its easy I will try to do the maintenance myself to save.

[@cleanerdetailsllc8481]

Never go to the dealer. Find an independent MB specialist in your area and go thru them. I've never paid over $400 for a 10,000 mile checkup. Actually less than half of that. I've owned a 2016 CLA 250, a 2016 C300 and now a 2008 S550. My go to spot is German Motors here in Denver CO.

[@POGAuto]

What I paid was in Canadian dollars. I could have gotten a very reasonable 3 service package for $1199 but I decided not to so I can share my experience without the prepaid maintenance

[@arabiantxn]

[@allielerman1414]

thanks. mine next service isn't until November 2021. a oil change and ny safety inspection. I say over 1,000 . mercedes benz should give you 2 free oil changes purchasing a 50k vehicle

[@diamondkids2996]

My experience(usa) keep 💰2,000 in a c300 maintenance fund. That should last a year or so...

[@POGAuto]

In Canada you can buy prepaid maintenance for 3 years for like $1199 I believe. I did not buy that because I want to make videos on service without prepaid maintenance.

[@punjabigundaa]

I have the same car in the US and it costs about $110 for an oil change on average at most places except the dealerships.

[@britos131]

Just saw this but damn! That’s a lot of money! I would just do it myself like I do with all my previous cars, saves money

[@danielfl.9347]

I have never seen an MB dealership putting in an oil additive. That's weird

[@GreatDrums.]

Typical upsell tactic

[@Frkilicious]

I just left my C300 for annual checkup. I’m looking at $1,400 because I’m getting B service which is roughly $750 plus transmission maintenance $595 (which is done every 6 years). The dealerships really push the envelope of how far they can take advantage of their customers.

[@sephhtv7332]

Don't go to the dealership 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@gv.youngin5197]

Dealerships always over charge so if u can avoid going there for a service do u will save money

[@josephanya3294]

I am located in San Diego, CA and I just completed my service which cost me over 1,000 USD. I was using Hyundai Azera before purchasing my C300 and I was paying 65 USD for service. This is just sick.

[@POGAuto]

Unfortunately yes the labor is really expensive

[@fredhur8812]

It’s great having the prepaid service on my S Class coupé. You come out with a zero bill! This is my 4 th MB and you save if you purchase the prepay!

[@MSH3423]

How much is prepaid service? For how long?

[@fredhur8812]

@@MSH3423 depends on the Mercedes-Benz model. The prepaid service for my S class was only $1299 for 3 services (2 A service and one B). The new price is $1899! I read people who do not service their cars at dealers. For MB, yes you pay but they bring the car to the same level as a new car so you don’t have issues. Others buy a used car that was not dealer serviced and find so many problems. Buy what you can afford!! I sell my cars to friends and neighbours as they see how I look after my cars. And if it were not in great condition, I would not sell to people I know. I just had my S class coupé coated with ceramic. It is in obsidian black and although it is hand washed weekly at the detailing shop, it has some swirl marks. Now it looks as it just came out of the factory, so imagine those people who use automatic car washes......all those chemicals! Now you know why people want to buy my cars.....

[@markasmith99]

That’s crazy. You don’t need to change remote batteries, and cabin filters and do fuel additives every 20K. Get an Acura. They don’t gouge you with BS services like this one. I had a Mercedes before and their service is total BS. Sure you can do all these either extra things but it’s designed to pad the bill and give the dealer extra things to charge for.

[@davontyrell3724]

Those things aren’t done every 20k that’s just what he needed

[@Lucky8s]

You should definitely change your cabin air filter every year at minimum if you drive the average # of km per year.

[@imtall885]

So I just bought a 2020 C-class, and when I have it in Sport+ mode it up shifts perfectly, but when I put my foot on the brake it downshifts pretty hard, NOT EXTREMELY HARD, but just enough to the point where I can feel it

I was a bit worried about that too but I bought a preowned 2015 one at 30k miles, and I’m now at almost 70k in just a bit over a year later. Excellent car all around- some minor quality control issues: peeling “chrome” accenting in center console, door handle outer lights failed, and panoramic sunroof got jammed (cost $2.5k to fix!). When things do break they aren’t cheap and often can only be fixed by a dealer. It does feel like a solid car though, I’d just leave some money aside for possible repairs.
