Inquiring about servicing for the car...
Bought it with 39K miles. Currently at 45K.
Service B has always said "In 4300 miles." No amount of driving changes that. No reset button. No mention of Service A or C-H. I do not know when the car was last serviced or what was done. I have yet to take it in myself.

Should I keep driving it until I get a message? Or am I not noticing something? This is my first MB car.
Additionally, I want to take the car in to inspect and repair the suspension. I am hearing a rather noticeable knocking sound in the front, and feel the car sinking if I turn the wheels too far, especially in reverse. Would it be best to work on that through MB, no warranty, or third-party?

I would go get the service B done at MB so you don't have to keep stressing about the service message. They do a small inspection and they will let you know if anything crazy is going on. You are in Florida you have some decent Indy shops that service MBs out there.

Should also do the 40kmile transmission service if it hasnt been done yet.

I would suggest you get the B-Service done as well as it was due at 40,000 miles. It can be a little pricey so I would call around. You might want to try an Indie if there is one near you. The trans service will run you $400 or more. The brake fluid should also be changed and will be $150 or more. This service is often quoted by MB at over $1000.

You can reset the service indicator yourself. When you go into the menu it will give you a summary of the services that the Assyst Plus recommends if you go into that menu option.
