Sprinter View oil change/service recommendations LA

I am looking for a place other than the Mercedes Dealer to do scheduled services in LA? The local Mercedes dealer charges $1300 for the first year service and $1800 for the second year service, just asking if their is another option.
Thanks

I would look for an independent shop with a large parking lot or yard. The chains can't fit you into their low bays and don't have any place to work on a vehicle outside.

I found one in little northwest Connecticut that fit that requirement and had a passing knowledge of Sprinter engines.

Freightliner shops can do it as well and some are knowledgeable about Sprinters.

Definitely lots of better options but finding them is a bit odd at times as it is not hard to find folks who do not want to deal outside their comfort zones and do anything different. So you got a diesel and need an oil change in an area where not everybody drives a diesel pickup but there are folks who do! So find who does pickups and delivery trucks which are smallish diesel engines like yours!
In Texas, every goat roper wanta be drives one, not so much in LA, but they are out there!
Here's a start:

Is LA = Los Angeles or Louisiana?

Which seems to have fewer diesel pickups?
