AMG changes gears

Is it typical for AMG shifts to be particularly forceful while going from first to second gear?

Re: Comparison between Cinch Servicing with Kwikfit, among others

At our neighbourhood Marshall's, I brought our V class in for one of those inch services... They charged me £129 to change the oil and filter, but they didn't use MB-approved oil—they just reset the service indication and sent me an invoice.
