60k miles a7 service
My C250 is hitting 60k in few days and I see A7 service reminder on dashboard.
I called my indy MB shop, where I always take my car, and he told me basically all I need is oil change and tranny fluid done. I already changed the engine filter and the cabin filter.
Is there anything else we are missing?

If you are going by the book, your indy is wrong.
Tranny fluid change for 7G+ is 70k, 7G is 40k.
Spark plugs (at least for M276) is every 60k.
Also, when was the last time your brake fluid was ever bled? I do not agree with the book's 20k mile interval, but at the very least have it check and tested if you intend to not go by the book.
You also don't list the year of your C250. Assuming it is the 1st model year (2012?), now is also a good time to check the CCA of the original battery. A conservative interval is to change when it's at 80%. My comfort zone is 70%. Some have even gone to 60%, but IMO you are asking to be stuck at a random parking lot if pushed this far.

Ok, from reading your post these are thing needs to be checked or replaced:
1. engine oil and filter
2. battery (inspect)
3. tranny fluid
4. brake fluid
5. plugs??
