As soon as he said... "Go with what they said because I trusted them"
...I immediately knew they Got him! . Damn!! Poor guy.
I know right! If he didn't feel there was an issue he shouldn't have paid for it.
Dealers try to jack people all the time.
Kingzley The guy is rich he doesn’t have time for this bullshit, his time is making money. The poor ones go through details because they have too.
@Et Immortalem He may know better than you in math or science, watch your words stupid.
@Et Immortalem for a guy who can buy a 150 thousand car, that money he spent was just like you paying for a subway sandwich
I own a CLS 63 AMG...I only go to the dealer for wiper blades & wheel alignment, I order my own OEM parts & have tthem installed by a trusted mechanic...the hell with the dealerships
$845 for an oil change, some filters, and a windshield wiper?!? Stay away from that dealer man, they're totally ripping you
I hate to go for like trans issues or stuff like that. Wipers and filter
Screw the dealership
They saw you coming from a mile away.
Dummy 🤡
I'll bet they were so friendly. You spent all that money. I would think the LCD screen would be under warranty. I hope you made a police report when you left the dealership, because you got robbed without a gun.
Police report? LOL
Hey if he has the money then fck it lol
@@Flowcap doesn't mean he has to spend it on whatever lol
I think that it was on the warranty but he asked them for the price so he can add it to the issues list
$845 for oil, filters and wipers is insane... that’s $100 of items. A shop tech who knows what they are doing accomplishes this job in 45 minutes. They keep it in the back for 4 hours and make you wait because that’s the shop time you are being charged.
If these thieves didn't have a gun pointed at you, you should have left and quickly! Outrageous!
Do it yourself for 150 dollars (cost of oil, oil filter, cabin and air filters) and skip the alignment unless you see abnormal wear. A pair of front AMG brake rotors do cost over 1600 and there are no aftermarket alternatives. Pads cost a few hundred. I don't know why you'd replace rotors at 20K miles. But yeah, the massive front rotors on the S63 are pricey... about 1600 for a pair. The smaller rear rotors are cheap. Learn how to change your oil, transmission fluid/filter, brake pads and rotors, air and cabin filters, spark plugs, rear differential, and flush the brake fluid yourself and you'll save a ton of money. Dealerships make very little money off car sales. Service is where the big $$$ are made.
Try r1 concepts.. for rotors and pads.
No point of buying that car and changing your own oil
@@fordstone2725 yea if you just graduated college like my an got a full time job and can't afford to take it to the dealer. I work on my own cars already e55 AMG and e92 335i gonna add a 2016 CLS63 or S63 to it soon. Making six figures out of college so. It's gonna work out.
@@goofyboa2398 well not every single thing has to go to the dealership, so if u can work on your own cars, and use original parts. That’s great, and congratulations on your cars, but for myself I own an 2020 maybach 560, and an 2021 amg gt, 63,.
Shouldn't the LCD screen still be under warranty?
F Azari that’s what I said
It only 20,000 miles you would think it would be under warranty still
It is, he probably have a really bad service rep. They typically charge the customer so the dealer make more money, the manufacture won't pay their BS games.
These franchises act as though you got the car from them, for free ... and low and behold, it just so happens the specific problem you seem to have is the exact problem that isn't covered by the (worthless) warranty.
Dealerships don't make money on car sales anymore...the Service Department is where the dollars flow in. Find a mechanic that works on Mercedes and stay away from the Dealership. An LCD screen is not under warranty???
"Dealerships don't make money on car sales anymore"
I know someone with an upmarket dealership, and they very much do!
Your biggest enemy is rapid depeciation. Your car could be losing a thousand dollars a week in depreciation. As far as repairs go, you can find genuine Mercedes parts by shopping around on the internet at all the Mercedes dealer's parts websites. Then find a good local mechanic who specializes on German cars, and give him the discounted genuine mercedes parts to install.
my man!
The stealership
That's what i do I get the job done quicker and cheaper.. dealer's take to long and overcharge
@@kevinalexander7556 It's not only that, it's the attitude of these dealers. They'll say something like; "Mr so & so, yes your car needed this and that, and we've licked the car clean for you as well, and although it cost this much (wait for it) we managed ... 'we managed' .... to get it done for you under warranty." And they stand there waiting for a round of applause ... like you haven't just thrown $150,000 of your hard-earned at them!
Your best bet when it comes to a Benz or any kind of exotic car like that get you one does depreciated already find a good European mechanic and access to the parts learn how to twist a few wrenches yourself and keep it moving these newer cars they don't build them worth nothing now I've seen more cars newer than my Expedition on the side of the road and my truck is a 05 they don't build quality products anymore
Was the LCD screen not covered by warranty? I recently was an owner of the previous generation CL63 and the rotors are a beast. For that car and I presume they’re the same brake system, rotors are at least $1K each. I am surprised that they would be done after 21K miles though. Pads maybe depending on use but you should be getting a little more out of those rotors. IMHO.
My s63 now over 200,000 miles and I change the brake pads 2 times only. Same disk. They got you man
What the hell do you do? I mean, who speaks these numbers so casually 😂😂, but thanks now i know how rich i need to be 😂
i was once scammed by dealership they did wheel alignment for $700
steroid cookie my uncle works on mercs dealer and he said the service manager charges their customers extra for special alinments lol the things people do just for a brand
steroid cookie do not trust dealerships!!!!!! It’s all sales for them
I bet you didn't even need alignment
@@Bmac2324 It's not only that, it's the attitude of these dealers.

Some people have book sense. Some people have common sense. Very few have both. You obviously have book sense
That is so funny
Pretty much
Book sense?
But the LCD screen is not cover by the warranty?
yeah why wasn't that covered?
Exactly like Really
probably was.
It is cover. This Asian man is lying
TOTOYO 2.0 right! They got over there on him. Especially At 20,000 miles
I'm happy for Your car, can't wait to get my S63 soon too!
70% or More of that quote is going straight to the dealerships pocket. try doing your homework and find the parts yourself. You’ll be surprised to see it’s going to be 1/10 of whatever price they quoted you. then take it to an independent mechanic shop.For example oil change, go to Walmart buy full synthetic oil, a oil filter and the air filter. take that to a mechanic shop and pay only for labor which will cost less than $75 total
i feel bad im 6 years too late, hope this dude didnt get ripped off more. theres no way in hell you needed new rotors at only 20000 miles, and if there was no issues while driving, you probably didnt need an alignment. hate the think what else they got this dude for over the years
Your voice is so soothing. Thanks for the great video.
Cabin, oil change wipers is like a $200 if you did it yourself.
At 20,000 miles, you were at your Service B. The price quoted to you is standard for the Service B of an AMG engine.
I would suggest that you get the pre-paid service agreement for your loxal authorized MB dealer. It will save you a great deal of money.
No warranty?
Been thinking of buying a S550 next spring. I'm surprised the warranty didn't cover the LCD screen.
BoxingWave my daily driver is a S550. Do your own work, buy your mobile one oil from Walmart, get your fleece OEM oil filter from eBay 10 bucks, get all your parts tires brakes discs from eBay and the car is just as cheap to fix as a Honda. Dealerships always always always rip you off if you get stuck on something electrical or something you cannot change yourself just find an independent mechanic way cheaper
Oh and I forgot to mention my Mercedes S550 drives and handles like no other car in the world I would not ever drive anything else!
MRBADASS what’s the point of this comment? I doubt anyone with a S class has time to sit on the internet and troll all day.
BoxingWave thinking every comment on RUclips is fake... yikes
I was looking for the first service cost for my AMG. this is crazy. When we buy a luxury car we expect the parts will last longer than other regular car but it’s not.
If you are doing the brakes early that should be a simple pad replacement. Hence the early part. Plus putting pads on these huge brakes are cake. They just slide in the slots and pin down. Really simple setup.
The Dealership is out of their minds.
Dealers = $tealers !!!!!!!
It's not only that, it's the attitude of these dealers.

Stealership.
If vehicle is still under warranty why do you have to pay (LED SCREEN $7K)
If the vehicle is still under original manufacturer warranty, the LCD Screen should be covered with no questions asked. If not, and you didn't purchase it as a Certified Pre-Owned Unit then it's not covered. Only aftermarket warranty that would cover everything would be an Exclusionary Warranty. If you want to cut your maintenance cost in half, check out FCPEuro.com, they offer Lifetime Replacement Warranty on their OE and OEM parts.
It would be great if fcpeuro carried the massive 15" original Mercedes Benz S53 front rotors - which cost 800 bucks a piece (1600+ for the front pair) for lifetime replacements. Alas NO.
I think you are getting robbed by that dealership bro
I'm tempted to put it a bit more crudely, however I think you've said it well. But let's be honest, the car industry in all forms is a minefield, and finding someone with a bit of integrity is like finding a needle in amongst a whole harvest of hay, not just a stack of it!!!
I was wondering what year your car was because I wanted to know you had to pay to have the LCD screen replaced?
I wanted this vehicle but I picked the Cadillac ATS also dealerships always try to get you to spend extra money when you go in for 1 thing
Nairobi NAYROWBEE well you saved a lot so good job but I will say you took an unbelievable step down taking any Cadillac over this beauty
Did you buy this car brand new? How is the screen going down in that short time?
$800+....wow. You literally could have found a independent shop to do all this for maybe $2-$300 on high end. Including oil change.
That's a lot of maintenance work for just 21,000 miles.
Saverio Biamonte he did. And paid $850+
Thanks for info.Not everyone is mechanically inclined.Im 65 yrs old. Was a teenage grease monkey. No more.Tired of fixing anything myself. Pay or don't play.These cars are for people with SERIOUS CASH FLOW. NOT POOR PEOPLE.
You do not need to replace your rotors at 20,000 miles, you shouldn't even have to replace your brake pads that soon unless you're going a hundred miles an hour and slam on the brakes real hard every time you stop. That dealership is really taking advantage of you. I don't care what kind of car you haveeven the cheapest cars will go 20,000 miles before you have to replace the brake pads. Unless that car is under warranty I would take it to a trusted mechanic and get the work done from a non Mercedes dealer. if I'm not mistaken you do not have to take a car under warranty to the dealership for service as long as you use Mercedes Benz parts and the oil you use has the API stamp you can take it to a non Mercedes mechanic and they have to cover it under warranty.
I like the corolla on the left side. Is it for sale? Best car I had 2002 before..cheap on gas and maintenance.
Thanks for this!
Unless you driving a Bugatti or something a oil change is a damn oil change. One freaking screw and a filter it's not rocket science, 200.00 bucks is what you would've spent if you had some sense.
Maybe even less than 200
So what does the car's manual require at 20k miles? Seems you should know this for a car that expensive. Certainly at least ask the dealer "where is it written?". BTW thanks for the heads up. I can't afford the car, but I sure as Hell wouldn't buy one if I could, based on your tale of woe. Google that dealer for reviews. You're not spending your money. You're giving it away, man. :(
I think it depends heavily on the dealer. The Merc dealer I went to when I had my C300 never ever tried to upsell me on anything, even B service (oil change +inspection of components every 20k miles). They fixed every complaint I had with the car, even down to things as small as rattles, and they even replaced warped rotors for free even though they aren't covered under Mercedes-Benz warranty. Honestly, even though the car had some issues, the service quality actually intices me to return to the brand, although I certainly recommend not keeping your car out of warranty unless you are prepared to work on it yourself.
Wow……you’re right on. I purchased the s63 as well due to a price mistake advertise on online verse price on car at dealer. After two years of owning, I had nothing but issues from oil leaks and ridiculous price quotes from dealer for simple tasks. I immediately sold that car. I must say, a lot of fun driving, but not at that cost. 😳😳
That's it you have convinced me not to buy one of these cars.
my mecanic said older ones give less problems 2008 versions 2007
Never take a car to a dealership for service no matter what the brand is I got a Mercedes and I do not take my car to Mercedes I take my car to an independent trusted mechanic save a whole bunch of money I refuse to pay $2,000 for a brake job when I can get the same job including the material for third of that
Did you buy this car new or used? If used, how old was it and how many miles did it have when you bought it?
Damn!!!! Those numbers should have definitely came with a couple happy endings 😂😂✌️
WHY YOU GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DO YOUR MAINTENANCE??? IF THAT'S WARRANTY COVERED - IS OK, BUT IF YOU HAVE TO PAID FOR THAT JOB , THAT'S NOT SERIOUSLY. NORMAL PEOPLE NEVER VISIT A DEALERSHIP FOR CAR MAINTENANCE!
I’m surprised the lcd screen wasn’t covered under warranty that’s crazy
Good video
Who did you use for your wheel Alignment
Now I see why some people just choose to lease luxury cars like this. You don't have to come out of your pockets with these expensive maintenance costs.
wasn´t LCD issue udner warranty?
In Europe, this car costs so much, that if you can afford buying one, the maintenance costs become perfectly acceptable.
I'm from Greece, yesterday I was looking for the S65,the cost is 456.572 euro to buying.so you have right, if you have half million to spend the maintain cos doesn't bother you.
so if they tell u that u need a new engine u do it right...
😂😂😂
They thinking my douther need i pad and vife want to go to Hawaii ok.sir you need brake job for 2700$.
It looks like you live in OC I do paint list dent removal I saw the dent in the right quarter panel near the gas tank if you want to get it fixed I can make it look amazing much lower than the shop contact me for more info
Man they got you good!! All those things were probably in great working condition and they just scanned the hell out of you! Feels bad
You need to learn how to change the oil and brake pads yourself. It's so easy to do.
not on this car its not without software you will not be able to relase calipers its not a honda civic lol
Well, its an S-class, then, its the AMG, its not your average car, it targets the sort of people who dont have issues with....COST...also, the smart guy will not daily this kind of car, it saves you from losing a lot of money from running costs, but then, its just my poor self thinking...
$2700 for a brake job on an AMG model for one axle is about right. If it was non-AMG it would be much cheaper. Alignments can be recommended due to tire wear pattern issues (mostly) also, not just because the vehicle pulls or the steering wheel is off center (That is usually because the nut behind the wheel is loose and hit a curb, large pothole, etc.). 4 years 50k miles is MB's warranty on a new vehicle. As long as there is no sign of abuse it should have been covered. MB is expensive and parts take longer to procure. The price to pay so you can brag about owning The Chicken Foot.
bro. let's talk. this is worth learning to do yourself, even buying some nice tools to use to do oil changes, etc. save tons of money, learn some skills and get the same outcome that you trust. I dont bother but I drive a toyota. know what Im saying?
this car is bad to the bone btw
and brakes! you can do this man. maybe not every time even, but you can learn a good brake job and do it right. seems worthwhile in this case
Why the hell didn't you get the maintenance package and that LED screen should have warranty on it wtf
Near $15,000 in 6 months, and that's not including the money you're loosing in depreciation. This is why I never buy German! My brother had a VW Boxster and was greeted regularly with dreadful reliability, a blown engine and regular £2,000+ bills.
My aunt did near 20k on her VW Continental GT (no, it's not a Bentley - Bentley died years ago) in the first year, then switched over to a Range Rover. Oh well, out of the frying pan ...
That brake job estimate sounds cheap...I thought these had carbon ceramic brakes?
That is about right. This car for rich people. I love Mercedes since I have 2. My daily driving car is Lexus RX350 ...for cheaper maintenance hehe.
I pay $55 dollars for my 10 quarts of oil, 0W-16.....and I do it myself. 🤷♂️. Cabin filter $20 and engine filter $42...
Dude. Those filters take 30 minutes tops and cost 200-300 bucks! Omg! The lcd screen! 7k! Shame on the dealer!! You need a good independent mechanic.
Any good places online the had genuine Mercedes parts for sale??
6 months and 21k...seems you bought it used and that's one car you can never buy used....buying used and you end up buying someone else's problem....seems a lot of the work should be under the bumper to bumper...was this an "As Is" vehicle?
Damn you got ripped off lol :D Service A for your car including oil change, oil filter, cabin filter, air filter, should be at max 250$ in parts. Front brake pads should be listed at 300$ + 20$ sensor. I do not believe your brake rotors are worn out, since the OEM ones last around 80.000km. Considering the LCD, id take it to a electrician to check the wires. There is no chance you need an wheel alignment unless you made those 20k miles driving on potholes constantly. Remember, mercedes dealer never repairs something, they change the part even if its on 90% lifetime.
*buys a $150,000 s63 AMG*
Him: well maintenance shouldn't be worse than a civic
Scamming MB dealership: yeah that'll be everything in your retirement plus your left nut...
You’ve never changed a cars oil before?
Why replace rotors so fast? Just change the brake pads
LED screen not cover by new car warranty?
Buy your own parts people!!! Then shop around for a reliable mechanic if you don’t have already.. Not just Mercedes owners but all car brands.. Obviously if it’s a emergency you have to handle business but if it’s a maintenance issue u know u have to do in the future anyway buy your own parts!! Shit even in an emergency, if you can buy your own parts!!
royal purple oil 80 bucks filter 30 bucks cabin filter 30 bucks 4 rotors with pads online 350 bucks do it yourself free.
Wich is better 63 2015 or s63 2018 ?
I don’t trust the dealer I once changed all my filters and wipers myself just as maintenance, and then went to get an oil change at the dealer and the write up said I needed all those changed. Like did they even look?
You are riding Mercedes Benz pro this car is for rich people only if you don't have enough money to make maintenance sell it for god sake
No it’s for stupid people. Rich people like to keep their money and not throw it away and repairs and poorly built vehicles. Rich people buy Lexus. They demand reliable perfection.
@@Mabeylater293 I'm not even rich as well as I drive poorly made 2018 Lexus ES350, wind noise at low speed from bad shaped mirror, always goes for bad wheel alignment, bad interior materials which faded in less than 2 years such as leather seats and steering wheel as well as most part of the car interior so easy to scratch.
Don't forget to mention bad brake response and a lot of body rolling .. Lexus overestimated brand .. poor made .. I haven't owned any European car from any brand but I drove bunch of them .. they rides like a dream with massive of luxury touches .. btw I have both Japanese and American made cars.. which I prefer Americans made .. at least they are cheap at the time of purchase as well as the powerful engine the provide. Thanks and sorry for my bad language
These cars are impractical to own without deep pockets, so to avoid a money-pit, you better have mechanical skills!
Hahaha wheel aligned at 20k Miles they basically told you Mercedes sucks or gives Mercedes bad name
At 20k you shouldn't have to do all this for a car that's $150k wtf is wrong with people
They "recommended" because they aren't just mechanics but sales people who take advantage of the average consumer's lack of mechanical knowledge.
They saw you coming. Its all about upselling to cream anything they can out of you. Shouldnt the screen been covered under warranty. Shouldnt have accepted that one. Car dealer workshops are known for their high charges especially rip off Mercedes. This is the same mob in Aus that are telling owners they need to have genuine rims on their cars. What the. They ate so use to pushing over owners for extras they just lve it when cars come back for their service.
Amg maintanance is something else. Much more expensive than regular mb
That's the price you pay for oening something special
price u pay for owning a pile of shit lol
fantomg100 you have a mustang as your pfp calling a s63 a piece of shit 😂😂😂😂
S63 AMG for me and old corollas and a shitty house for thee.
Family: "we need to fix the rusty pipes, roof leak and clogged toilets"
S63 guy: "Sorry I spent all fam budget on an oil change"
$2700 for a brake job ..Lol
Cleevens Joseph that brake job better come with a happy ending.
Are those brake pads coated in gold 😂😂😂😂😂
Maserati costs 3000
What rotors need replacing after 20k miles?!? I get front brake pads... but not rotors.
In his defense, the massive front rotors on the S63 cost 1600 for a pair discounted, and there are no aftermarket alternatives. But who replaces rotors at 20K?
$845 for this service, they finesse him real good, he could of went to FCP Euro and saved a lot. Did some of that work himself, learn more in depth about your vehicle.
Are those the ceramic brakes?
If you visit the dealership few more times they will make sure you file for “bankruptcy”. DIY or find a good mechanic. It ain’t rocket science.
Feel like leasing these cars makes the most sense
Y wouldn’t your screen be covered by warranty?
Wow.! I can afford the car but damn I don’t think I can afford the maintenance lol
4-year 40k mile Warranty?!?! They milked you bro. You overpaid for basic maintenance shit any indy shop can do.
844 dollars is normal, do any of you know what heated windshield wipers cost? If you can't pay the maintenance, buy an economy sedan
The LCD screen is cover under warranty since you only have 20k miles . But that is why I stop buying Mercedes. They have too many computers problems
Where’s your warranty for this car . I have a Benz s63 coupe . Certain things you talking abt have a warranty on it .
smh lol
This car is meant for ceo's ... so yeah..
This is why Asian guys like Toyota and Honda.800$ oil change?wtf dude? Your car have no warranty then do oil change yourself.you need to look in to Cadillac ctsv and ct6 v not going to be 800$ oil change
i know this guy did a Break Job on my 2013 c300 for $20 bucks and i order the parts online for 37 dollars.
Damn you bought a new car!
