Service Plan / older vehicle discounting

[BlackCup]

Hi there, I have a C63 507 due for service in a couple of months- it’s a 2013 model with 22k on the clock.

I bought a service plan of 2 services upfront just after I bought the car with a discount code found on here- is there anything on offer right now? I tried customer services but didn’t get a reply.

I’ve heard people mention discounted servicing for older vehicles but don’t know if mines old enough to qualify?

I’ve used Brooklands to keep up the FMBSH as it’s pretty important to this kind of car imo.

Thanks in advance all
Matt

I don't know about service plans, but if you are a member of the Official MB Club, then their Club Directory states that MB Guildford gives "10 per cent off parts and 40 per cent off labour for cars of six years old or more". I don't know if this information is correct, but there must be enough club members around that area who'd get it corrected if it no longer applied.

Definitely worth phoning and asking, even at Brooklands.

I'm not convinced you'd see a "value" difference between Brooklands or any other main dealer when it comes time to sell. It's not a MacMerc SLR for which Brooklands are, I think, official service centre.

Yes that’s really useful. I’ve got an SL55 with fmbsh but it has been getting a bit questionable between perfectionism and common sense as to whether to keep the MB s/h going.
This will probably persuade me to keep it going.

Wow thanks for the extensive reply, excellent news thanks

+1 here for Sandown and Guildford. Best value for money.

You can also obtain the correct AMG 229.5 oil from Mercedes on eBay via the main dealers and provide that for a discount over Guildford supplying oil. The remainder is yours should you need a top up in the middle of the service interval too (didn’t need it but nice to have!)

Guildford service can be a bit sucky but just flag any issues up with the Service Manager

I had a value service done for £139 at Guildford on my w203 c43 Amg, amazing value!

Was that recently, and did they flag up any other work required?

Last year, included a very comprehensive video of works that required attention ( exhaust rubber, gear selector bush, rear brake hoses etc ) with zero pressure to have the work done by them.

Had all the highlighted works done by my indie.
