B service interval question

Hi All,

My 2017 C63S has started the countdown for the 'B' service via the instrument cluster. My issue is I only have 7500 miles on the car. I don't want to pay $500 for a service just because my dash says so. I looked through the services performed but I'm not sure all of it is necessary. For example, I don't think I need the cabin filter replaced as part of the service with such low mileage. If the B is required I'll do it but it seems like I'd be paying for things that may not be required due to the low mileage.

Any ideas or thoughts are greatly appreciated.

J.

I don’t believe in paying for so call services A and B.
90% the stuffs on the list is just checks. All my AMG I own, every 10k mikes, oil change. Every 2 years, brake flush. Every 45k miles, transmission service and diff. Service. At 100k miles, spark plugs service ...etc.

Just stay away from the stealership. I recently got quoted $900 for Service B by my dealer but ended up paying only $350 elsewhere where they did all the checks but as you mentioned said that most of the things did not require changing at this time.

The service B does include an oil change, brake fluid change and new cabin filters. And some checks for diff and something else. I just recently got mservice B done by an independent shop. I used factory spec oil and keep the receipts for the service and parts just in the event that I was to be challenged regarding warranty coverage in the future.

FYI: transmission/rear diff service is 30k (or is for my '16).
