First Service A is due

My first MB and my first service A is due. I bought the prepaid maint. Plan through the dealership so I will be returning soon.

What sort of up sells should I expect for service A? I know they are coming. Anything else I should expect them to recommend I get?

If you don't do excessive mileage all you need is an oil change which you can find deals for less than $100. The rest of service A are just routine checks. We have 10k after 3 years and we only do oil changes which our service advisor has no problem with, and the only other thing we probably need is to check/clean the air filter. We haven't been sold anything each time we go but it varies by dealer - maybe expect an alignment or something to that effect.

Not sure what you paid for the maintenance.

For sure they will try and sell you the idea of the alignment. In my opinion, you you are not doing a lot of miles, don't take it.

Other than that there is nothing they can upsell you. Or maybe they will tell you about their paint protection plan...which is a waste of money since they just wash it and wax it but don't clay bar it first.
