b) An idiot ran into me at a stop light. He had a piece of metal welded to his front bumper for towing
The MB dealer recommended a local body shop and there made it as good as new. The dealer does not do any paint or body work.
The cost was about $630.00

My service manual only lists Service 1, 2, 3, ... etc.. No A, B, C, ... My first scheduled service is the "C" service at around 11,500 miles. Is this what it's supposed to be? What are everyone else's MFDs displaying as the first service? B, C, or something else?

Anything called for on the FSS is free, and the letters (service codes A through H) simply establish the time allocated for the service by MB. From the W-211 e-learning: "Service codes are used for estimating time ONLY. They do NOT indicate the same service items for each code. Service items are determined by time and driving conditions."

I think that must be right. I did not have a "A" service, just the "B" at about 12,000 miles. I think that the computer judges the type of service according to the type of driving you are doing. Most of mine was Highway driving.
