Service B just came on

Hi all,

Just wanted to get a better idea of what the Service B light stands for. I am a little over 16K miles, not sure if that means anything. I have heard that it is just an oil change and fluid checks. Also, what is a good price for this service? I am sure the dealership will charge a lot for this compared to other local shops. Thanks!

I'll link this for you as well, 2013 is the same as 2014:
https://www.mbusa.com/vcm/MB/Digital...ce_Booklet.pdf

You will likely be looking at an oil/filter change, cabin filter change, and brake fluid flush. I would guess around $300 at a dealer. The main items above are for the Service B. The rest of Service B is a bunch of visual checks that I guess are useful, but not really necessary and they eat up a lot of labor time (stuff like testing interior lights, sunroof, etc).

A full service B including all the visual stuff is going to be closer to $600. You can reset the service light yourself in thirty seconds so it is up to as whether you want to pay another $300 for visual checks or just go with the main fluid/filter changes.

Some parts of the country are cheaper and places do put out coupons so check out your local dealers too. An indy will also be cheaper.

Thanks for the quick response! I am pretty sure this service has to do with everything you mentioned above. I probably won't do the visual stuff if I can reset it myself. Will have to do more research on that. I'm gonna call some shops with Mercedes experience see what they'll quote me at and what the service entails. As long as I have no cel's and I don't pay a fortune then I'll be happy.
