Sure.

Service B is Oil change, In Cabin Dust Filter Change (at least it's suppose to include this), plus a couple more inspections than Service A.

At Service B you're also suppose to separately have the Brake Fluid Changed (not usually included in the price of Service B).

I just got a call from my local dealer saying that they indicate that I'll be bringing the car in for Service B and said that they have a special for $299.00. Only thing is my car is 2 years old and under 7k miles still. lol Guess I won't be getting the special price

The prices they quoted you are not exorbitant but not cheap either, next time ask a few dealers for pricing, some dealers might give you a better price than others.

My C63 currently has 15,500 miles. The brake pads have plenty of meat in them. Also I checked online for front OEM pads which were $250.

While I'm here, i have BMC filters in my car, do you think they changed those out with OEMs? Didn't check and haven't gotten a chance to read the work order receipt.

i doubt that they would change out your aftermarket filters for stock ones.

Yes
If you choose to do Service B yourself, how does a dealer verify you did it so they can reset the service indicator?

If you do the service yourself keep all your receipts for parts such as oil and filter. I also keep notes on the date, mileage and what I did in the way of service and inspection. This is just in case I am asked to provide proof of maintenance service performed.

They should not have changed the air filters. They are scheduled as Service 8 - at 60000 km or 4 years.
