On top of the glorified oil change that service B is, at 86K+ miles, I would have my spark plugs changed, have the serpentine belt looked at for small cracks, and the differential fluid and radiator fluid flushed and changed.

Oh yeah....if you haven't changed out your cabin filter yet, do that as well.

I agree with OPAL208, the plugs, coolant and diff oil are due, and drive belt should be inspected. I'd change the transmission and brake fluid too.

The cost will be dealer dependant. These are the prices at my local dealer when on sale. Regular customers and/or MBCA members always get sale prices or better. If not, a different service writer is in order. At any rate –
  • A FSS B service for a V8 CLK is $299
  • A regular transmission service (fluid and filter) is $200
  • A brake fluid flush is $70
  • A coolant service is $90
  • A drive belt is $65 + an hour's labor
  • The sparkplugs are $7.50 each (no idea what labor is)
I'd bundle services. For example, bundling the diff and transmission service will drop the price. Speaking of the diff, don't be surprised if the side seals are leaking. It's common. HOWEVER, don't pay for the side seal repair and the diff oil change. Changing the diff oil change is included with the seal job.

I have all the invoices for the CLK320 I just bought and it had service b which cost $425 out the door. I think most is labor, tax, rags...
