I just brought my C into the dealer today for it's Service B. I was quoted on the phone $450 with nitrogen in the tires and i told them forget the nitrogen since air i think is fine so that cut it down to $399 for the Service B 
As i dropped off the car and was signing the cool electronic tablet that the SA was holding my mouth dropped when i saw something like $550 and i was like " wtf ???? " though nooo i didnt use that kind of language !!! The SA started rambling on about the car at 24000 miles could use a flush here yada yada yada thus why it was taht price
i told him take the flush out and simply give me the Service B like i had requested !!!!! Wow i am so glad i looked at that price before leaving or i could've used a large tube of ummmm KY noooo 
??????

Flush?
Two hundred bucks to replace the coolant, even when the time comes, borders on criminal.
Is this a New Jersey dealer, perchance?

Flush what? Keeping in mind that MB says the original coolant is good for 15 years (might be a SLIGHT exaggeration) it's pretty clear that this little scheme is a pure profit center for the service writer.

My daughter has a C300, and I get it serviced (oil change) where I work. (I work at a GM Dealership). I just did svc B here, and reset the indicator. Now it says service A2. If anyone knows what that means? I presume it's just an oil change. By the way, When her car was due for svc A, I researched here, and a Benz Mstr mech emailed me, and re-iterated what I know being in the car business. GM cars like all the rest, only need oil changes and that's about it. You should change the air filter @ 60k. He recommended the C300 air filter change @ 45k miles. Coolant is good for 100k+, and xmsn fluid is good for 100k+. I am sure MB and the rest are the same. You can't be mad at the SA's, they are trying to make a living, but, just adding my $.02.

Yes they are. They gave me a GLK350 for a loaner. Gotta say it's got a little oomph to it!
My car had a belt squeaking on idle and slight load, also loss of power when trying to accelerate through a right turn with a rumble coming from right strut tower (guessing) during the attempted acceleration. Anyone use Sovereign before?

Service A in Canada 20000 KMs - $CAD 300
Service B in Canada 40000 KMs - $ CAD 650...WTF !!! i just get mine done last week and not really happy with the price.....
Folks....MB service is costly in Canada since almost all the dealer in metro area are owned by MB Canada.
- seriously looking into BMW and Audi where the first 4 yrs of service is free where Audi come with Audi care for $CAD 750.00 which i think is worth it

Wow now i don't feel too bad about paying $450 something for my B !! CT isnt too far but i just dont see why it would cost an additional $200 more unless you got the brake flush or oil flush that they tried getting me to do when i brought mine in ??

Called Autobahn Motors in the Redwood City, CA area, and it was $498.
Using a coupon from a dealership in Laguna Niguel (friend them on facebook) and I should be getting it for $229 tomorrow. Will let you know if it actually pans out.

Glad u found my coupon in the coupon thread for laguna niguel... Heads up tho, I don't think they will accept it unless it is from a dealer u would reasonally go to, as within normal driving distance... I got mine coupon matched to laguna niguel but the dealer was only a few mins away...

I have a warning on my car that my Service B is due in a week.
I have owned my car for almost 2 years now, but only have 10,000 miles on it.
Does that sound right?
