Coming up on 4 years and 25,000 miles. My factory warranty expires December 31st. Only 2 issues I've had were a misaligned taillight (like all early builds) and an exterior door handle light went out. Luckily I was one of the few early builds without bleeding seats. Very impressed still drives as good as day one. Have only used midgrade fuel and average about 25 mpg. I haven't been on here in several years so I'm wondering if there's any updates or things I should take care of on my last maintence appointment next week before the warranty expires? It's my second C300 also had a new 2008 model that was rock solid. In comparison I recently purchased a 2019 Acura Rdx and it's plagued with infotainment bugs and various other issues warranting several dealer visits in 2 months.

Definitely book a 5 star inspection appointment which will reveal anything you may not be aware of and get it fixed before warranty expiry.

Is there a cost for that?

In Canada it averages about $350 (takes 3 hours) but the smallest repair will usually cost way more than that.

Let me say two things .....

Important - if you don't have Prepaid Maintenance now - if you are planning to keep your C-Class for 4th+5ht yrs - or for your 4th/5ht/6th yes - then your BEST BET is to research to decide if you want to purchase 2-pack or 3-pack Prepaid Service.

Yes - you have low mileage - but at the 3yr did you get the tranny serviced ? If not you will need to make a decision/expense there.

Yes - it would have been best to buy 3yr Prepaid service for 3yr/4yr/5yr - but if you haven't yet - then please decide about it BEFORE YOUR NEXT SERVICE CHECKIN - you can't purchase Prepaid for that service after checkin - it's the way Ppd works.

At 4yr you have a B-Service - at 5yr/50K you have a A and you have a factory recommended spark plug charge (which is called for at 46K actually) - a dealer "could" get the spark plugs done under Prepaid Service at either 4yr/5yr - their call which by the shop.

I concur with replacing spark plugs and performing transmission service. A good shop should be able to change inline 4 spark plugs in one shop hour or even include it in an oil change for free. If you do decide to get your transmission serviced. Make sure they drain both the transmission pan and torque converter. My local MB dealer only drains the transmission pan and will do torque converter if you insist for an extra cost.

Brought it in for my last warranty service to fix a lightbulb and they did an update for an outstanding radio recall. It broke my navigation system so had to take it back to the dealer to get that fixed.

i paid 860$ for 50,000 miles service (replace spark plug) for my c450 at dealer. 60,000 miles due about in 3 weeks, going to costs 1200$ (transmission fluid, renew brake fluid ) at dealer.

Differential oil should also be changed at 60,000 miles. Luckily this is one of the easiest fluids to change.
