Today, I've sent our car for it's annual service (engine oil & filter - £109.75) at MB Automotive L'boro. They even changed the air filter (£32.90), spark plug (£61.00) and the brake fluid (£30.49). They changed the rear brake light for no cost (cheers!!). Total cost: £234.14 + VAT £46.83 = £280.97.
But then they advice me to replace the front spring coil as it had snapped in two, the gear box pilot bush as transmission oil is leaking as well as changing the fuel filter. Estimate cost: £542.34. That is what you have to pay to drive a Mercedes.
In March, the MOT is due, so without these work done, it will be a sure fail, so if I like it or not, it had to be done. Not only for MOT, it is to ensure safety and comfort as well...
