In the USA, MB covers all scheduled maint. for 4 years, 50,000 miles. (This is the A & B services) It should be in your manual.

I was told it shouldn't matter, everything is recorded electronically in the dealer's records database, so at anytime you can go in and lookup the history of all servicing done on the vehicle.

I'd only get the booklet filled out if you think your dealer is shady.

I forgot to leave my book out where the tech could see it so I had to run back inside to get it signed. I thought the writer would just sign it off but, instead he ran around and got the tech to do it. Don't know why it matters but that's what they did.

It matters when you sell the car so you can show the maintence records to perspective buyers. Piece of mind never hurts, right?

sort of. i keep all the records though - the receipt w/ the work on it. just wondering if it's worth the hassle for me to go back and get it signed - and right now, i'm leaning towards no.

In that case I guess it doesn't matter, but if I were buying this car, it would make me feel good to see that the first owner cared enough/was **** enough to have the book filled out, and its just a nicer presentation rather than whipping out a bunch of service receipts that noone wants to try to decipher. **** but worth it I feel, and hey it don't cost nothin'.

It may be easier, but you will learn a lot more by reading your documentation. :p

i have never had it filled out. BUT, I always keep the reciept showing anything that was done with the car. Also I trust my dealer, they say whenever I sell the car they will be more than happy to provide me with a copy of every service record ever done to the car.
