It is not up to me to wonder…. 
But, more seriously, you never know; maybe it’ll help another user. I imagine there’s a fair number of lurkers.
If one of the goals of the site is education, it can be helpful to analyze the deal (since it’s not always just about helping an OP, IMHO).
Care to share a link to the deal you are referring to?
I’m still pissed MB won’t give me loyalty even without ever lemoning a Benz.
Their loyalty policy is complete trash.
Lemons vs apples & oranges
What do you have to back up that assertion? Not saying the OP did or didn’t get ripped off but blanket statements like this without more context are not helpful.
It is not that hard.
My local Mercedes Indy: service A is $189. B is $389 (it’s basically A plus a brake fluid service).
Dealers have service coupons/promos too
It’s more about pulling levers to move units to different customer segments. Or at least that’s what their actions would suggest.
Where are you located ? 
Just did a cursory search of Long Island service specials, $550/900 A/B
Time to find that Indy Euro operated by an ex service tech.
OP since you’re in CA you may be able to call and cancel this if you think it’s not a good value.
What was your pre-incentive discount? Were there any incentives applied to the deal such as lease cash?
At the Covid bottom I was at 12% off plus an incentive for 14% off and buy rate (on a GLC300).
Sounds like OP did fine for a high MSRP car.
Most LHers are willing to drive the smelly lime green demo with steelies and burned up tires to get to $1.56 per month effective one pay but really $0.75 per month after free car washes for life.
I don’t about prices at the Indy shops but there quite a few in LI/NYC based on Google search. There are so many German cars in the area that it would be shocking to not find a Indy shop.
I had contacted Computerized Mercedes Repair in Elmont for my dad’s transfer case repair a couple of years ago. We didn’t end up doing the repair but they were knowledgeable and straightforward. I also see one in Hicksville that does MB/BMW/Porsche.
Similar across two different metro areas (NYC burbs in NJ and Boston burbs)
I’d only add PPM if it’s residualized otherwise it’s a hard pass. In bay area service A starts from $330 and service B $600 with coupon.
Even cheaper if you go to a chain like Firestone or Discount Tire. Come on, it’s a leased 4 cylinder car, how difficult is it to do LOF and flush the brakes?
I think you missed my post showing new Benz have a custom housing with a replaceable membrane and o ring instead of an oil filter. The quick lube spots cannot do a LOF service.
MB wanting a brake fluid on a leased vehicle with 25k miles is total trash though.
No, I didn’t see it. Are you saying Jiffy Lube, Valvoline, etc cannot service those cars?
