Do all B-Services include a brake fluid exchange/flush?

I went to a dealership that told me there B Service does not come with brake fluid flush, and it would be an additional $200 charge.

Anywhere I looked, standard MB B service includes brake fluid flush...were they trying to scam me?

Scam would be a little strong, but for sure, if others include it, I'd pick the included service at the same total price.

I note that this is a very easy thing to do yourself if you like working on cars. 1st time is the hardest because it will be something new to you; after that, a piece of cake.

MB requires brake fluid be replaced every 2 years/20,000 miles whichever comes first. See attached sheet.

Got my brake fluid changed for $80 CAD at my independent shop that specializes in Mercedes vehicles. Just got service A and the transmission oil changed for just north of $620, indy said the trans oil was starting to turn brown. I've only got 59,800km on my car but it hit the 5 year mark and Mercedes says to do the trans service every 5 years/120,000km.

The maintenance schedule book that came w/ my 2016 only says every 2 years, and not "2 years or 20,000 miles".
Which one's correct?
I've seen a couple of threads on this topic, but can't seem to find any definitive answer.

this means less than 5 or 10 years if at all possible.

Worry more about the 4Matic gear oil, it will cost you X-many times more when left ignored.
