How much are you guys paying for Service B in. The US? Here in Canada I was quoted ~900 by the dealer, ~650 by eurocharged and then ~450 by a private dealer.

The dealer asking for almost a grand for just an oil change and some checks was pretty ridiculous.

Basic oil, rotate and fluff service here in California is about $350usd. If you have the space and basic mechanical knowledge, I would suggest doing it yourself for less than $80usd

Just got mine done in Canada, was quoted 800, charged 500.

After looking up what is included in the B1 service, I am pretty sure I'm going to just do it myself. Except for the brake bleed, I hate doing that .

I believe B1 also includes replacing both outside and inside cabin air filters, and brake flush.

Check out the forums for instructions and do it yourself.

I buy 5 quart jugs of Mobil-1 0W40 from Walmart.com and about $22.00 US each, plus $29.00 for oil filter (ALWAYS get your oil filter from a dealer for warranty purposes). That's $73.00 for oil change.

Then, both cabin air filters can be aftermarket. Mine were about $50.00 for both.

Brake bleed needs dealer fluid (again for warranty purposes). 2 liter bottles are about $25.00 each. Then, a Motive pressure bleeder at Amazon for about $45-$70 depending upon which model (0100 or 109) you buy.

So total for parts is around $250.00, and the brake bleeder is there ready for your bleed in 2 years.

Even if you take it to a dealer for only the Brake Bleed, I can't imagine them charging more than $200 total for that service.

Paid 230... South Florida

Paid $230 for what?

If for just a brake flush then that sounds reasonable (at least in AMG standards).

If for the entire service, then no chance at all they did any of that required work.

Sorry... this is actually for the A service. Misread the title.
