A gaggle of MB's
Spark plugs are recommended due at 45K.
If you have a B Service and plugs coming up - buy 2Yrs/20K miles Mercedes Prepaid Service before checkin for $1,035 - or buy 3yrs/30K for $1,365 - and you get it all recommended items done incl 45K mile Spark Plus at 40K or 50K whichever works best - and have 1 or 2 "free" services left over

W205 C300, W212 E350, Q50
MB is very clever as they call a simple oil change "Service A/B" and have owners pay way more than what they need to. They made it a cash cow. W205 doesn't require more services than any other brands/vehicles.
Service A = oil change = every 10k miles (oil $50 + filter $9 + labor 20min)
Brake fluid = every 2 years (fluid $30 + labor 30min)
Service B = oil change + brake fluid
Dust filter for ventilation = whenever you want or service A (filter $17 + labor 2min)
Cabin air filter = whenever you want or service B (filter $20~$40 + labor 10min)
Engine air filter = 30k miles (filter $15 + labor 3min)
Spark plugs = 50k miles(non-AMG), 40k miles(AMG) (plug $15/ea + labor 40min for i4, 1hr for V6)
Differential fluid = 40k miles (fluid $35 + labor 10min)
Automatic Transmission fluid = 60k miles (fluid 12qt $120 + filter&parts $30 + labor 1hr)
Brake pads = 40k~ miles or whenever needed.
Checking suspension, links, bolts, boots, brake pads, coolant level, fluid level = whenever you service the vehicle.

they recommended EG61 V Belts - Replace (original due by mileage).
WTF is this V Belts? the service manual never tell me i have to replace it.
also they recommended AL4D Alignment (distronic) (w/ tires inner wear)
i have extended warranty, dont they supposed to cover it ?

I'm sure of that! Service and Used Cars are what allow new car dealers to survive. None of the last 4 cars I purchased were bought within a 100 miles of where I live and get service.

2016 C 300 4matic Lunar blue
I bought my 2016 CPO at the end of December. It was off of a three year lease and had 17,000 miles on it. It basically got an A service as part of the CPO process. At this point in time it has 22,000 miles on. The service indicator in the dash says the next service is a B service, in about 4 months. I contacted the dealer and they quoted me $1525 for a " 30,000, 40,000 and 50,000 mile service." I got back to them and asked if this was two A's and a B or two B's and an A. They told me it is 2 B's and an A. The problem I have is that I think the 30,000 mile service is an A, so that the contract may be two A's and a B. Two B's and an A seems like a good deal for $1525, two A's and a B not so much. Thoughts?
