C450 AMG service "A" or "B"
So I bought a MBUSA certified C450 AMG last year when the car was just a click over 20,000 miles. They had the laundry list of items done to it - including new brakes and new tires.
I've recently crossed the 30,000 mile point and I'm getting a dash alert saying that the car is now due for the "B" service.
Is this the normal course for a "B" service to be done 10,000 miles after a full maintenance was performed on it when it was sold certified? I figured an A service would be standard at this point.

C450
Thats what I'm wondering. I've not done any service and the first 10,000 mile service since I bought it is due. I'm going to assume that since everything was swapped out / cleaned out at 20,000 miles when the car was reconditioned for resale, that the A service would be appropriate.

If the brakes were done at 20k miles you don't need the fluid flush. I think the fluid flush is a waste anyway. If you drive this car hard it will eat it's brakes every 20-30,000 miles anyway so it should just be flushed whenever brake hardware is replaced.

C450, GLS 63 and a few other things
The car is probably just alternating between A and B Service. It may not need a B Service if all of that was done at 20k. It's just what is "due" according to the onboard computer. As noted, it's not a huge difference at 30k in work done.
