Great price.....

$410 for a Service B?????? WOW!! That is pretty good...In MD, I paid about $600 for Service B and I was told that the Service A is $350....of course, I found an independent that will do Service A for $170.

That's a $410 oil change. Everything else is just "looking" at it. Most of us have staggered wheels.

A $410 Diagnostic and oil change is about right.

yeah, a lot of money for an oil change and inspections. But that stamp in the service manual puts one in good graces for the 30 year mobilife guaranty. And I plan on keeping my CLK at least that long ....

I have seen Service 'B' in Calif. dealers at $375

Service 'A' is typtically $175, unless they have raised the prices recently...

my clk430 2002 says service a in like 7000 miles .. the guy in the original post says his is at 55k and it says b -- is this normal ??

From my understanding.....every (approx.) 10-12k miles, you'll need a service, whether A or B, it alternates....I had a service B when I first got my car back in Feb and now I need a service A ...from this track record, I'll probably need a service B by next fall or late summer..
