There is a drastic reduction in the maintenance cost of luxury cars. The maintenance cost of luxury car brands has remained high.

After Mercedes-Benz lowered the maintenance price, whether it is compared with the current maintenance price, or compared with the maintenance price of competitors BMW and Audi, there is a clear price advantage.
Close to the after-sales maintenance price from the past Mercedes-Benz maintenance costs are much higher than other luxury car brands, in the face of this downgrade, the relevant person in charge of BMW dealers said that this is a shock for the luxury car brand, but also to enhance the service Opportunity.
