i hardly ever use my AC. in fact I barely use it at all I just drive with the windows open, only time it's on is during winter for heat. I've taken it in before for some big time tuneups and I think I recall that exact filter getting replaced.

oh well.


i agree with you guys, someone's said that to me before (I think someone who worked in the biz) that they make killings and most of their money in maintenance and swindling repairs

no I just brought it into my local dealership bells, hence the thread title... lol. I was nearby when the indicator took a shit on me so I figured better get it in.

I do have a local shop that my family's been going to for years but I'm not sure how trustworthy and competent they are. I think they give us deals on prices and parts but their tech side is pretty shit. We've had to take a car back there three times for the same issue, pretty sure that means their junk.

it's hard to find a good mechanic these days !

lol yeah, just unscrew the sump plug and flush it through

i hated being skanked all the time at the garages so i bought a few books...

it also helps if you know someone whos into motors, often they can source you cheap parts and sometimes labour.

You're supposed to change filters on a regular basis...

Did you ask to see the filters to see how dirty they were??

Lol @ sissy girls that can't change their own oil. Get back to the dishes.

Many dealership mechanics also work on commission. Maintenance is a cash cow for sure, but the financing dept is where the real money is made.

It was probably the Oil filter he was talking about, i always change it when i change the oil in the engine.


I know alot of mechanics and they see this all the time. The thing that has caused alot of concern in modern cars with cramped engine bays is the cost to change a lightbulb. Trust me, on some cars its a nightmare. And therefor it cost alot just to change a friggin bulb.

I bet OP takes his car into the shop every time he needs his windscreen fluid refilled.

Quite, I've done this with my local dealership! Took my car in for a scheduled service and when I went to pick it up they gave me a list of things they'd also swapped out gratis because my factory warranty was up in a couple of months and they wanted to make sure Mercedes picked up the tab instead of me a little later down the road.
