The Cost of Repairing a Mercedes E55 AMG at The Dealership

[@AMGmeister]

If you have cash to burn, taking your Mercedes to the dealership is fine, they have the right tools. However, things will get expensive once the car gets older.

[@gspadez]

AMGmeister this was all out of warranty ? Why sell the car if it’s so heavily maintained

[@jedkimmel]

I do think some of the repairs should have been done under warranty. Odd.

[@GermanAngryBird]

I really think they scammed him more or less. I mean engine mounts at that mileage? Why would you flush the power steering twice at that mileage? Most of the work they did to the car doesn't make any sense to me imho.

[@serz1885]

so they been changing brake fluide more offten then engine oil change and filters?

[@iheartgs400]

How about good indie shops AMGmeister would be a better option as well.

[@tylercouture216]

I wonder if you realize people love this channel it's like a library for these cars haha

[@kimster1981]

Hello from Germany! The only thing that they have forgotten is the transmission oil change! That is very important. Especially for this car. It should be changed at least every 37.000 miles! Best Regards from a Mercedes-Mechanic of Germany!

[@fatimazahrakabire9091]

u re so right

[@moedalgarny]

i think dealer were planing to do a rebuild on this car trans 😂

[@melp1088]

Seems excessive specially with the numerous brake fluid change. At least u know u got a well maintained e55. Great buy imo.

[@narcissistinjurygiver2932]

I was a tech at Beverly Hills Mercedes. I got my training there. This car was way over serviced. something is out of wack regarding the brake fluid. and hoses.

[@55kompressor]

yeah like holy fuck dude what was their deal?! 3 P/s flushes @ $585, 10 services @ $2804, and 6 brake flushes @ $1039. Holy shit i would have just said I did it! Or saved all the 50% spent fluid lmao. This dude had monaaayyyyyy!

[@benzzoy]

@@55kompressor The factory recommends oil changes every 10,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first, and this isn't unusual for any car; so that accounts for the 10 oil services. The factory further recommends replacing the brake fluid every other year, which is reasonable, considering DOT4 is hygroscopic. The price tags reflect dealer servicing prices, and aren't out of line; in fact, it's lower than what the dealers here in Silicon Valley charge. Sure, you can DIY it for significantly less, or bring your car to an independent, but the actual services themselves are normal, and actually include a fairly long list of inspection items if one were to do a proper factory job. However, I am similarly baffled at the number of power steering fluid changes. Unlike the motor oil and brake fluid changes, this is not part of the scheduled maintenance, other than to inspect for correct level; in fact, the service booklet do not list a service life limit for power steering fluid.

[@fatimazahrakabire9091]

@@benzzoy dude what if i told you on my w211 i never replaced brake oil or steering oil my last 5 years ownership (put 80Kmiles on it now the car is 230K miles whenever i inspected em found em clean and still good i only added one time a few...car is runing amazing still reving gears On to 4800.

[@NANGSGARAGE]

You had me at the $600 sun visor lol 🙃

[@vahebaldemian]

For a presumed "Beverly hills resident" who purchased this car new from Mercedes Benz of Beverly Hills, that averages out to about a little less than 2,000 a year in maintenance. I don't think he lost much sleep over it. Not everyone is an enthusiast and not everyone has the know how or equipment to service these cars themselves. Great video though and great buy! I have an 03 e55 and an 09 cl63

So it’s cost more to replace the sun visor than it does to replace an alternator. Seems like that dealer was just making up prices just saying.

[@JimmyJHauteCouture]

My favorite was the air filter. They charged owner an hour of shop time and what had to be $60 for the filters, which Mann sells OE for $15 a pair... so that charge alone was crazy. 15 minute replacement and 400% markup on parts and labor. It’s good to be a dealer.

[@JustinsSupercars]

Well serviced car. I think that’s how it’s supposed to be. The previous owner was obviously someone who was REALLY able to afford a car like that. When you have to think about how much the maintenance of a car costs you clearly can’t afford it. A car with a clean service history is just so rare and valuable.

[@MartiniPinball]

Disagree like the presenter said he did most of it himself, for less than 3000 instead of the 20000 at the dealer

[@TuNnL]

​@@MartiniPinballit really depends on how mechanically inclined the owner is. Obviously, most people can perform an oil and filter change in their home garage, but quite a bit of the maintenance performed by the dealer was work the average Joe would be stretching to do himself. 🧑‍🔧

Apparently there is an option to leave your credit card with the dealership and your pin number whenever you buy an extravagant car such as this. Also the car will stay there and you get to drive it every so often.

[@paulneate2349]

I have 2005 E55, got it Sept 2018 with 85,000 KM and in Dec 2019 I am at 132,000 KM, I started with Independent repair shop for oil changes which was less costly and more accessible than MB. I ran a specific knowledge gap with the independent when my car developed complex issues with air suspension and leaking fuel sending unit, some bad pulleys eventually had to take it to the dealer. They fixed ever issue and brought the car back MB standards in the process. It was very expensive but nothing like the Beverly Hills dealer's service extravaganza.

That and never ending set of conti's If i could give one bit of advise to every e55 owner. Drive your car! Drive it till you can no more. Mile on an odometer are nothing to Timeless memorys and experience had driving in it in the long run

[@videoaapje]

This is to be expected right? I mean, I always thought these cars were reliable. I'm shocked by the amount of "repairs" done on this car.

[@karpetcm]

My 06 was in very good shape and only major issues i had was passenger front air suspension went out and engine mounts i replaced. I bought it with alot if miles which probably meant prior owner spent tons maintaining it. As long as your on top of it right away when something goes wrong and you dont let it pile up, youll be fine. You cant buy these cars thinking your buying it for 15-25k so they cost the same as a 15-25k to maintain. It still has the costs of a 80k car to maintain no matter how old it gets and you have to factor that in. If you know what to look for before buying a e55 you can avoid most of the headaches right off the bat. Just like any car if it was a abused and not well maintained its gonna cost the next owner.

[@turbo97semax]

Wow thanks for taking the time to document this ... very interesting ... I decided long ago to avoid dealers as much as possible ... they are definitely in it to pump as much out of the customer as possible ... the car was waaaay overserviced which I suppose is great for you ...

I really wanted to buy this car, there’s a unit that is 2006 model and only with 49000km mileage.

But I never owned any car so I dont know any good workshop and I’m not good with car engine 😅. This video suddenly gives me chills to think about the maintenance...

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

2009 SL65 came from Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills too and serviced for the first 5 years. No wonder he sold, probably couldn't take it anymore because those prices and frequent trips are way more than the average MB dealer here in Maryland. No need at all for all that brake fluid changing, even with SBC brake-by-wire. But no transmission fluid change, WTF. Independent Certified MB Tech is the only way I roll.

[@ashkay780]

Also I had a mate with a E55 AMG took it to Mercedes dealer they said the did a bunch of stuff on his car and billed him. Unfortunately for them he marked all the parts before taking the car in and apart from an oil change they did not change anything. So when he inquired there response was "the car did not need it" to which he replied "why did u bill me for it then?" Full credit

It's not only Mercedes dealership, but so many other brands. Servicing your vehicle at the dealer is good way to waste money. They get you on the labor cost! I save tons of money, because I have my own mechanic who takes care of my CLS 63 AMG. I supply the parts, and he does the labor.

Great information on E55's and servicing. I have watched your previous videos as you seem to have excellent information regarding this particular model. You should have a great car now. I'm from NZ down under, and purchased a silver E55 ex Japan with 40,000km's ( 24,000Mls) approx. Only service so far is an oil change, to which I provided the oil and filter, labour cost by a local Euro mechcanic $200, also I fitted new air filters, and thats all my costs in 3.5years. I only drive the car occasionally, as this supercar will become a future classic and in time will only go up in value, so I don't want to run up the kilometerage.

The one that gets me, having already done it myself, is the supercharger belt replacement. The belt itself costs around $25, and it can literally be changed out in less than 2 minutes by nearly anyone with nothing but a single wrench. Dealership cost? $184.80. They literally charged the guy $160 to do a job that would take an experienced tech around a minute to complete. It would take longer to pull the car into the garage than actually complete the repair. LOL! There is a reason I never go to the dealership.

[@PhilJulianM]

I once heard MB charges higher hourly rates for AMG vehicles. So they quote the owner of that car an estimate based on what ASRA lists how much time a given job would take. In reality an experienced mechanic will go through a service a lot faster than estimated and for the most part it's labour you're going to pay.

If I were to add on all repair cost covered under warranty, it would have exceeded $20K. But the bright side of it is that I had $100K Miles fun, it is my daily commute car from day one and it has taken me to 15+ national parks. During those years, my wife spent less than half maintenance/repair cost on her Lexus at the dealers that is the same age as my AMG but driven twice more miles. But I think I had at least twice more fun in my AMG. I only wish I can DIY on my AMG.

The brake fluid was replaced almost every year on this car. That's a rip off. This Mercedes dealer took sooo much advantage of the previous owner of the car.

Honestly roughly 2 grand a year for a German super sedan really isn’t that bad Whenever I get one I’ll still do all the maintenance myself, but I genuinely did expect worse

Yeah for real
