Excellent post Klinh. Thanks for providing the info. I really never have issues with the price for the A, but the B always seem a little excessive. Now I know why. Thanks again. BTW do you currently work at a MB dealership?

you can always call in and ask a service adviser to see what service D entails, i see that you have a CLS so maybe it only pertains to a CLS diagnostic.
im sure the owners manual says something about service D as well.

That's insane prices....I'd look elsewhere. They are obviously ripping you off. I was able to get my service B done for less than $250

A and B services are basically just oil and filter changes plus some "inspections". The main difference between them is that there are more inspections performed at the B service plus a change of the cabin air filter(s). Note that there are other items that usually coincide with he B-service, like changing the brake fluid and R&B of the tires. Honestly, paying more than $200 for an A service and more than $400 for a B-service (with brake fluid change) is ridiculous. A and B services are HUGE profit items for dealerships. Unless you just really like to make the dealership rich, either learn to do them yourself, or find a reputable indy to do it for you.

How about the items listed in service "C" for a 2004 E55 W211?
I just used the manual to "clear" it after having an indy do an oil change, air filters, idler and tensioner pulleys, and a new thermostat.
Will it automatically begin a countdown to the next service interval?

I have only had mine for about 5k miles, so I just took it in for the first time. Service C was what it wanted. I cleared that, then it said overdue for "B"; I cleared that too...now it says overdue for "D" -- wth?

The services come in a consecutive manner, so if you did Service A, next time will be Service B coming up. Also, it tells u how much time ur overdue as well, and lights up each time you start the car if u didnt take care of it.
and u need to reset the FSS on each service. u never serviced ur car for oil?
