Sorry if this has been asked before. My wife's dash sais service "B" due in 500 miles. Can someone tell me what is done on this service and about how much it should run? Can I do it myself without voiding the warranty?


Car is a 2013 C-250 sedan bought CPO. Purchased in July of this year and we live in Florida.


Thanks in advance.

 

You should have received the Maintenance booklet when you purchased the vehicle

 

Just had mine done this week.


-Oil filter
-Mobil 1
-Windshield washer fluid
-pollen filter
-brake fluid

 

Can anyone else offer just a bit more info? Thanks

 

Contact AlabasterC55 , I bought one of my c250s from him at Daytona Auto mall Mercedes before moving to Las Vegas . He can tell you. Good guy

 

Motorin Mark, did your CPO include any maintanence package? I purchased my CPO in August and have 2 years of maintenance included.

 

B = small
A = big

still doesn't mean a B is cheaper or quicker then an A

just an oil and filter change. Don't worry about the other stuff, it's all fluff
easy to do on your own. Mobil 1 oil and get a Mercedes OEM filter.

 

Thank you, that is kind of what I thought just wanted someone else' opinion.

 

No I purchased ours in July, was not on that program.

 

"B" service is the more extensive, pricey service. Includes brake fluid change. About $500.

Tire Rotation - the First One's on Us
Your vehicle's tires are a critical component of overall vehicle performance and vehicle stability. On models
with four same-size tires, we suggest tire rotation at every maintenance service, and at least once in between
each one following the recommendations in the literature provided by the tire manufacturer and depending on
tire wear.

Your first tire rotation before 6,500 miles will be provided at no charge. And if your vehicle's front and rear
tires are different sizes (so they cannot be rotated), your dealer will inspect them and adjust their pressure
for you.
1. Whichever comes first. Requires use of 229.5-spec oil and high-performance fleece oil filter. Every 10,000 miles for V-12 and AMG models. Driver is responsible for monitoring fluid levels and tire pressures between service visits. On E-Class models, see Maintenance Booklet for additional maintenance service types.
2. If your vehicle's front and rear tires are different sizes (so they cannot be rotated), your dealer will inspect them and adjust their pressure for you.
