B Service

Got an email reply from my local MB dealer, after I asked about my upcoming 20K miles service :

"The basic B service is $655.00. Would you like to schedule this appointment?"

Is that reasonable?

Also, what's ave cost of 3 pack service (B, A, B)?

Thanks,

i just got b service done @ 40K under paid maintenance, but my dealer's face value is 489$ i believe. i paid 33$ (w/ tax) out of pocket to have the tires rotated.

It depends on what your dealer calls a "B" service. At mine, the tire rotation is included for my car. Used to also add Techron, but not sure anymore. Also includes hand wash/dry.

The price varies by dealership. Some charge more than others. You can always shop around the other MB dealerships in your area to see what they charge.

A B around here is $350 to $400. Brake fluid change is another $120.

I got a 3 pack for $1,100 by calling MB Austin to cover my B-A-B.

Mine is due too. Cheapest quote I got from a dealer was $399. I'm thinking of just getting the oil changed and break fluid checked at an Indy shop.

i would think at minimum B service should include all the items that are required by MB manual to be changed/replaced. Everything else is 'fluff' on top of that, but there should be a core items that the OP can compare prices for between multiple dealers.

otherwise i don't think for those with MB maintenance plans MB would just be playing dealer left and right for arbitrary service items.

got my B done for 398 with tire rotation and brake flush. used coupon from another dealer but car only had 7,000 miles on it. When I bought car they said to bring car in every 12,000 miles for service. Told them I would see them in about 4 years. They then said once a year no matter how many miles.
