B service ?
Has anyone taken there CLS to a MB dealer for there B service? When I leased my car a few months ago the dealer wanted to sell me the pre paid maintenance. I have nothing against paying for the scheduled maint upfront if it will save me money, but when they told me the B service requires a brake fluid flush and was over $700, I passed.. I wanted to search deeper into it and see if its true. Also I returned my wife's C about 6 months early for the CLS and had an unused B service that I pre paid for, was told they couldn't do anything for me. I wasn't looking for a refund, more like "hey how bout the 1st service is on us". Anyway just curious what was involved in the B service and what did they charge? Thank you

MB RECOMMENDS BRAKE FLUID EVERY 2 YEARS OR 20K. BUT A B SERVICE AND BRAKE FLUID SHOULD STILL NOT BE 700 B SERVICE IN CALI USUALLY RUNS 329 AND BRAKE FLUID FOR ABOUT 160 SO AROUND 500 FOR BOTH WITH SOME TAX IN THERE NOT SURE WHAT THE TAX RATE IS. BUT YES B SERVICE IS OIL CHANGE, CABIN FILTER AND A LIST OF CHECKS AND INSPECTIONS. POSTED ARE DEALER PRICES AS WELL.

I went through my records and realized the brake flush was not done.......might have been a time thing because my car was at 20K, I know the indy shop wouldn't have missed it....or the chance to charge for it
