Service 'E' maintenance?

[socalapproach]

Does anyone know what type of service I should expect for the 'E' maintenance? This might be in the book but I do not have it with me at the moment. I called my dealer and the reponse was, ' . .its probably the same as Service A. Plus we will likely just connect the computer to the car and see what else you need.' Not an answer when you dont react to 'probably' and 'likely'.
Any idea how much this should cost?
Thanks

It's kinda like A but they may replace the cabin air filter depending on miles. I'm having mine tomorrow. It was estimated at $350.

You must not be getting your service in Pasadena because I was just told it would cost roughly $580.
Thanks for the info.

They forgot to finish their sentence, i.e., "see what else you need...TO INCREASE OUR BOTTOM LINE." Those are always scary words, especially because service reps work on commission.

I just got back from service. It was $205. They said that the cost varies by mileage (I didn't need the cabin air filter replaced yet). Keyes Eurpean on Van Nuys.

are you going to rusnak ? their prices are the highest among southern california mbz's.


Service A is $199 at West Covina. Service E (which is only the filter change is about $120)

Even if you do both at Penske, 199+150 = $349+tax = $ 377.00 That's still cheaper....
