Or he would have to wait a week for them to look at the car without the service

What absolute joke

That's Mercedes for you - BMW dealerships pull the same thing.

I had a BMW a few years ago and the fuel pump went - BMW dealer wanted nearly £3k to fix it. Found another local garage a bit further away (also called BMW - Bolton Motor Workshop) who charged me £750 - same BMW genuine part. Tell your friend to shop about and find a non-dealership who specialise in Mercs
