Hi guys,

I was curious if anyone knows what an A7 service includes and what I am expecting cost wise.

Is there anything out of the ordinary that should be changed such as transmission fluid etc?

Thanks

 

Wats A7? Service A mainly oil change with oil filter, fluid check and toping, brake check. In my country roughly 250 usd.

 

its just my cars coming upto 45K on the clock and was wondering if there was some extra things in an A7 service

 

How about 30K mile service ? I have had B service at 20K mile already.

 

A and B services alternate, with the first A service at 10k and the first B service at 20k miles.

The M-B maintenance booklet does a good job of explaining what gets done on an A and what gets done on a B service.

Unless the owner gets all work done like clockwork at the scheduled mileages, the actual mileages that these reminders pop up will vary greatly since they are based on how long it's been since the last reminder was reset.

 

Thank you diamondsilver16. Have you got your tires changed yet? Mine will be 30K miles soon. I'm thinking about switching brand from Continental to Bridgestone Driveguard ( Costco). What do you think? I guess, I stay with RF tires.

 

I would ditch the run flats based on everything I've heard about them. I bought my car with 28k on it and the dealer had just fit new tires.

They were these cheapo tires: http://www.gosailun.com/PLT/Tire/SH406

But I'll tell you, they've been awesome over the last 12k miles! I've had all the major brands over the years; and these Sailun tires are very quiet, great handling on dry and wet pavement, and they have not worn any more than typical at this point.

I also bought one of those air compressor/fix-a-flat gunk combo kits as my 'spare tire'.

 

Who makes those tires? I have never heard of them.

 

Found this.

So that's Chinese tires. I wonder if they are as good as the other brand names.

 

its a lube oil filter, that's all. The number doesn't mean anything, its just an A service. The dealership can add the number to track when the last was done so like A7, A8, etc. But its arbitrary.

 

Hi My recently acquired 2011 C220 is showing that it needs an A7 service which I believe is an interim service. My local garage that I've used for years is advising a cost of £250 for this (say that oil alone will be around £70). Just wanted to sanity-check this before booking in as I didn't expect it to be this much. It's 7-speed sports auto with about 70k on the clock. Thanks

An A7 is meant to be a regular A service + auto transmission filter, pan and fluid change
