Can someone tell me what the B1 service entails?

Thanks.

Google B1 service, tons of information.

Basically its a bi yearly service. Dealer does a bunch of inspections and charges you for anything they need to do above the initial inspection. I came to the conclusion that it's nothing but a $500 oil change. I'm sure others will disagree.

I had the dealer do the oil change for $99. They had a special, and I did the inspections myself.

Youtube and you will be able to reset the B1 service message. It's easy to do.

I'm pretty sure a brake flush is also part of it. Still not worth the cost. Easy to do.

The dealer asked $500 for your B service?? Mine only asked for around $230. Not that it was still worth it.. but damn

Last time I had a B service it was about $250.

Thanks for the info!

Your maintenance manual lists what should be done at each service, to include the "B" service.

Guys where are you getting your B1 service for that price? Prefer not to spend 500 at dealer.

Lol you guys are lucky. Here in Norway B service costs about 800 USD! And thats everywhere

alan, where is your dealer located at? I got a coupon from Foothill Ranch for $359.99 B service and includes brake fluid flush.

Thanks.

I just brought my W212 in for a B6 service and my bill came to a total of $1100. $650 for B6 service plus $370 for transmission fluid change.

You should buy the 3 plan maintenance for $999 dealer are offering

basically depending were you are you get 3 service all included

A B A

or

B A B

but if you are at closer to 50k i think you wil get best bang for your buck as 50k - 60k and 70K cost around $3400 included transmission - plugs -

i am on 38k i am waiting for 45k and buy the three maintenance package will work out perfectly

What does the 6 stand for in the B6? I would expect at least a B service and brake flush but that price seems high for just that.

thefisch

That's a good price. Nice find.

i have b5 shown recently and dealer quoted me this: brake fluid service($160); air filter replacement($140); transmission service($525). The Service B is $550.

i have less than 16k miles on my car. do you guys think i need all that? i have yet asked around from some indy shops. afaik, one of the shops only charges $260 for service b. but not sure they'll do everything like what the dealer mentioned.

just did the brake fluid at mb foothill ranch, 90 dollars.

i downloaded the 212 maintenance pdf from here and it says transmission fluid change at 40k 80 and 120k, with spark plugs at 80k. has it changed or is it different according to region?

thefisch

different depending on engine, tranny based on model year. best to consult guide like you did.

Hi,
I cannot see the link for downloading the pdf service manual for E class 212... mine is E300, 2010, Avantgarde... I just need to understand which service entails what... Thanks

Is this a dealer thing or a MB usa thing? I can't find a link to it anywhere.

It depends on the transmission you have.

If you have the 7G transmission you need a flush ever 40k miles. If you have the 7G+ transmission then it's every 70k miles.

In the US, MB started using the 7G+ on E class in 2012 MY.

thenew3

It is MB pre-paid maintenance sold by dealers and honored at all MB authorized dealers.

Price used to be $999 for 3 services, but has gone up to $1250 for 3 services on 1/1/2015.

I got a 3 service plan for $1089 in August.

B-A-B (60K-70K-80K) which is the best deal. 80K is expensive.

Don't know what they are getting now.
