475ish in canada plus plus tranny service if needed and break fluid change 120 is (try too look up one of my threads i posted my bill i believe. total your looking at 1000$ if you want them to do the checks if not your save close to 350$ if not more. depend on if you need the break fluid change and tranny service which is essential.

its in your service manual

oil change look at your breaks check your wipers shocks

honestly just change your break fluid, oil and if your close to 60,000km get your transmission service done thats a part of the B service

ALSO read up on Torque converter on this site make sure they don't cheat you like they did to others and my self and make you have to argue it. i had to call MB Canada to get proof and the service was done all over again

I own a 2013 C350 and just recently got my service B done at 15,000 miles. Seems too soon but the service B light came on my dashboard so I had to. The price was $475

It means that service B is due. It alternates between A and B. All explained in your car's Service Manual that should have came with all the other manuals.

Your profile shows you as being in the U.S. so presumably, ^^that^^ is 50k miles which also means that if you have not had the transmission service, you are approximately 11,000 miles past due.

You'd be well advised to get that done sooner than later.

Service is every 13,000 or 12 months. 50000 divided by 13000 would be 3.84, so the B service would be the logical service. Please consult your maintenance booklet, it will tell you what services need to be accomplished. Also remember that the brake fluid needs to be flushed every 24 months (it is not based on mileage)
