A new battery is $300 max and a ten minute D.I.Y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same price as I paid last November brake flush/fluid replacement is recommended every 2 years. Did they give you a "gift"? Last service they gave me a universal travel plug adaptor, really want the tyre pressure checker! I'm a sucker for the "free" stuff haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a sucker for the "free" stuff haha I got the tyre pressure checker on my first service. Nice little case. Love it. Got nice Porsche wine glasses last service. I also love the free stuff. On the battery prices the $500 Porsche one sounds cheap. Mercedes Benz $990 (I almost swallowed my tongue when she said $990). The good news was that the MB dealer said that it should not have failed so quickly (2.5 years) so they wrote to MB HQ who gave me a new one under warranty, unbelievable but true. It worked too, when re buy new car time came up 6 months later, I bought another MB. Good PR goes a long way in my book. Another reason why dealer servicing is worth it.

We had a 2010 Mercedes and the battery was almost dead, so I rang MB to get a price on a new one .... I too nearly fell over backwards!! The service representative seemed to remember that on the 2010 models the batteries were faulty and were recalled ... we got ours replaced under warranty ... that was in 2016!!
