My point exactly. It took me 9 including the overflow when I changed it last.

They charged me for six liters implying they didn't change it, but charged me for the TC converter plug implying that they did.

All that to say that I wouldn't trust the receipt to give me peace of mind the TC drain was done. It seems they can't be bothered to write it up properly. They missed the standpipe too.

Edit : they missed the TC plug in that invoice too.

Had my '10 GLK 350 transmission serviced at 80K service interval at Mercedes Exclusively in San Jose and it was $290 (great shop btw!). I believe it has the same 722.9 transmission as the C300 series...
