FSS says B5 is next. Does that sound right?

I picked up a 2012 Edition 1 Sedan on 4/2. At the time it had 19k miles on it. The finance guy told me C service had just been performed (time, not miles). The FSS now says B5 is due in ~265 days. Does that sound right? Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought they alternated between A & B. Also, I'd think the 5 signifies the 5th service. By my count, it should be the fourth(40k miles coming up or 4 yrs).

WTF is C Service? I'm guessing incorrect data from the finance guy?

No idea what a C service is. You are correct that the C63 alternates between A and B services. Maybe the C is with the optional brake fluid change. Just guessing though.

I bet the finance guy was counting A=10,000, B=20,000, C=30,000. Your 'D' service would be next.... :-)
Never mind.
I just did my B service (myself) and by the way, it was due at 16,000 miles, not 20,000. AMGs almost never make it 10,000 before Assyst Plus recommends service.

The 4 year service on our GLK 350 was B5 as well so yes that sounds correct. The service the dealer did at 3 years was likely A0.

I think Wobble64 has the finance guys number...LOL
