I believe this service (called the "B" service... a COMPLETE service!) is something like $400-$500 for an 8 cylinder model at the dealer (avg/general estimate). I believe that the 6 and 8 cylinder service cost is pretty similar. It's the 4 cylinder and 12 cylinder models that are a handful lower and higher, respectively. And that cost includes parts AND labor, to my knowledge... unless of course, replacement parts are needed.
I would find out (if you haven't yet) what the selling dealer normally charges for a 30k mile service on a 95 SL500...
Good luck!

So, yes, I think $700 seems quite pricey (but still possible I suppose) for a B service on an 8 cylinder.
