Both of us did it at Alexandra, just that we have different service advisors. But it is really strange that such standard jobs do not have a standard price!

Maybe CLC 2 door so more difficult to clean the rear seats so they charge more! Muahahahaha!

wtf? mine is 144?!?!?!?!

eh bro.... Assyst Service A (Labour for replace oil, oil filter) tio boh?

knn!

Wa lao, same damn job but different prices:

blackmercs: $132

newc180: $108 (not $103)

darkavenger: $144

I had sent my 5er for servicing last month as well. PML only charge me $55 for labour, and no any other charges like what short test or clean engine compartment.

A comparison for the charges:

........................................C&C...............................PML

Model................................C180K.............................523

Mileage..............................13000km..........................24000km

Labour................................$108..............................$55

Short test,..........................$60................................$0

engine compartment wash

Engine oil.............Shell Helix Ultra-$26/litre x 5.5l.......Formula SLX-$29/litre x 6.5l

Oil filter.............................$36.80...........................$17.42

Windscreen washer...............$5.90............................$6.43

Total incl GST:.....................$379.46........................$286.06

Imagine the servicing costs for my C is higher than my 5!

Strange thing is both cars never change spark plugs, which I thought is a SOP item.

Didn't know simple things like servicing charges are negotiable, this is definitely not right.

C&C has a standard servicing pricelist, can get one and keep as reference.

They have standard servicing pricelist?? But the data here shown otherwise. If they really have one, meaning they dont have standard at all.

maybe the pricelist puts it down as...

Service Charge $X, where X is a Stochastic Process...

ok ok.... i need to take my medicine and stop trying to understand my lecturer.

Stochastic Process also known as random process, where K = Y or KY where these guys will apply it when we go down together for the next services!!!!
