2009 first service?

So my 2009 c300 is approaching the 3000 mile mark, I was just wondering if there is a service now or would I just wait for 10,000 miles. The only real issues are condensation in the side mirror blinker housing and the driver side fold down visor light goes off when its opened past 60 degrees.. Anyone else have the same issues?

the first issue is a warranty issue. the second is what its suppose to happen.

as for the service, you can go in for a welcome visit, but they only rotate the tires (if you have the 17") and address small issues. other than that, its a waste of time and you can wait till 13K for your oil change

There is no welcome service any longer. I would definitely bring the condensation issue to you SA's attention, the sooner the better. Also, the light is designed to go off as stated above.

It's sad that this SA is either a hater or simply an all around dumb @$$. Either way, you should talk to the service department manager, the dealership manager or the owner. I remember the pic you posted a while back and that really needs to be fixed.
Don't take no for an answer and at least get another SA.

I would call up and speak with your service rep, I was told by my dealer that there was a 1000-3000 mile checkup. But when i brought the car in, my service rep told me its at 5000 miles for 2009's. I would call and verify.

You don't have to go to the service welcome. It's a bit of a waste of time IMHO.
