As far as I see the expensive services by MB are a condition of the 
indefinite corrosion warranty. Here in Germany somebody lost his high 
court case against MB with a rusty trunk. The court ruled MB has the 
right to couple the warranty with a regular service by MB shops.

But if you dont go to MB shops why to pay? Change oil, filters and 
wipers regularly, watch the error indicators and ac***ulate the money 
for the next car.
