My wife just took her Mercedes 350 in for a 50,000 service and the shop sold her this “upgrade” service which included this Engine Performance Restoration service. Is this total baloney or what for $100.00!

A 100 bucks is not that much anymore and it could well be needed; especially depending upon age and driving habits. The intent is not to cheat you; it’s to prevent a potential problem before it does become one.

I would only allow them to do this service if the Headlight fluid, Muffler Bearings and all OEM MB factory smoke was topped off in the electrical system as part of the deal. How else could I be assured that all of my engines performance was restored? Lets see how they handle a mechanically savvy c…

$100 is for a $7 can of seafoam , half of which will go in the crankcase and the other half into the gas tank.

OK got to figure out cocktail casual, tie not required for an east coast visit. Do I have to take a Limo? If it was recommended while under warranty I might take up an engine performance restoration service. Do not want to hear sorry not covered because this service was recommended and you refused it.
