I would not take your Mercedes to Walmart or a Jiffy Lube. If someone offers you a $29-59 oil change even with a coupon....immediately turn around and walk out. Just does not happen. Mercedes require full synthetic oil and I would not leave that to chance with a person unfamiliar with my car. Just as important is the type of oil filter you use...alot of $3.95 specials out there that you donot want to use. Also during a simply oil change a good shop will normally do a safety check and having someone familiar with your brand of car would be helpful. Stay away from the shops that "always" find something to repair during those cheap oil changes.
You spent good money up front for a high end car, expect to pay for maintenance to keep the car in decent mechanical shape
