my mom picked up her 14 S550 in Jan of tis year. She loves it but the $300 oil changes are outrageous! The start/stop is annoying. Overall, she loves it. The ashtray has to go though.

You'll pay that much on any german luxo barge, its ever 10k miles its not too bad. Start stop can be turned off fyi

If you want to roll big, be prepared to pay big.

Even for oil changes.

That's why is call stealership, the oil change itself is only $20, the other $280 is for the coffee, donut, nice lobby, pretty receptionist, a loaner car and washing your car

I skip all that crap and do it myself for $20 and spend the $280 on a mini vacation

i was going to say, i believe start stop can be turned off?

agreed too. for mb i think it's all about "service A" where they pack bunch of useless stuff for higher price. if you go to dealerships you are asking for it anyway

Find me 8qts of 0-W40 mobil 1 euro formula for 80 and I'll buy you a beer.

Beware of the expensive "Inspection" repairs. That's how they get ya.

Check with your trusted local independent mechanic before you drop major $$ at the stealership. Since the oil is synthetic, you only need to change it every 10k miles, btw.

Well, for new cars I wouldn't take it anywhere else other than dealership.

And 300 oil change is not bad at all.

well at least this time they recognize it as an S class. The old maybachs were simply restyled S classes at 3 times the price

You just have to know where to buy from

My bad, forgot those things take 8~9 qts.

$20 is for my cheap *** LS430, I did an oil change on a S63 once, the oil and filter costed me $85.

Inspection on the muffler bearing...........LMFAO

I understand though, if they are honest and all they do is $20 oil change, the business won't survive at all. Especially now brand new cars need so little maintenance. Good thing Euro cars still break a lot for them to fix.

Mercedes is bringing dish wheels back.

Yep, they used to have those decades ago, but frankly, those new ones above look ugly to me ...

That Maybach is just sexy as hell. Even at the outrageous prices they are nice. I love this new one. Actually I like it better than the old ones. Much better.
