Well she's(26k) going in for a B service tomorrow morning.I got qouted a price of $280 from my guy(Indy).This includes air filter,cabin filter an oil.I'm not sure what else is done for a B service.Oh and I'm having them install my new Jack mount,cause I managed to rip one of mine off earlier this year.

Forgive my ignorance,but what is Star diagnose? I'll ask him next week Drex when I go back to see if they get some fasteners for my driver side skirt I f*** up.Oh I also had them replace rear brakes too,cause I only had the dealer replace fronts last time around.


Complete B service and rear brakes(included complete brake fluid replacement)parts and labor total was $549 and change.They also installed my new jack mount.I thought that was reasonable.

I just had service B done plus replace front pads, parts and labor $265. Parts included front pads, Mobil 1, cabin filters, brake fluid, sensor. After my warranty ran out I was luckey to find Glen. He is a servic mechanic at Rahal MB and does MB work on the side. He has the tools and equipment to do it all.
He also is able to get the MB parts needed, so everthing is MB. He will do after market parts, you buy them and he will install. I already told him when I'm do for Service A, I will call him.

Phin, sorry for the late response. Just saw this today. Star Diagnose is the MB CPU/gadget that they hook up to the car to clear errors/malfunctions and also reset your service warning, so that your car won't tell you that you need to bring your car in for Service B after it's completed.

Yeah, then he has it.My service"count down" wasn't showing up when I got it back.I took it in when it was "saying" like 5 days until service B,so he must have STAR.I still haven't had time to back and see if they can me some fasteners for my side skirt,might be dealer item though.
