When I bought the SDL last year it had been 100% dealer maintained with the PO. Feeling "cocky" I took the SDL to MB for an oil change (period). Left it at lunch said I would pick it up after work. When I returned the tech said $588 please. I don't know how to say this politely but I was a "little disturbed". They did a 30K service - as the PO always "played (paid) by the book" in service. We negotiated a new price but still was not to my liking at almost $440.

A "little disturbed?"!!! I NEVER would have paid for service that I didn't ask for or approve! There would have been a BIG scene in that "stealership" if they tried to bill me $500 when all I asked for was an oil change!
