B2 Service
Team - how much does it cost approximately for a B2 service? I called my near by dealers - one of them quoted 995+taxes, other was at 1175+taxes. It comprises brake fluid exchange, oil, oil filter and cabin filter (also wiper blades). I thought it was way higher!! I got the wipers done recently, so won't need it. Cabin filter can be changed by ourselves i believe. So left with brake fluid, synth oil and oil filter - which can be done by express service locations, right? please suggest the best way to go here (dealer or anywhere else)... as of now, it says i have 110 days for B2. Thanks!!

A is around $200 and B is $300 at my local dealer.
You can get oil change kit from FCP auto for about $75-95 and do oil change yourself or take those goodies to local oil change shop and just pay his labor.
My local oil change guy charges only $25 unless you have skid plates and plastic diapers under car blocking access then he adds some more depending on complexity.
but your dealers are crazy stupid expensive.

With coupons the "A" service is about $200 the "B" service about $795.
Where I live, you cannot go to an indy shop, bring your own oil and filters and just pay him for labor. They all want parts + labor.
The "B" service also includes changing the engine air filters. Wiper blades are not included, but some dealers will throw them in gratis.
My dealer also throws in a car wash.

It showed a man walking into a diner with a carton of eggs asking them to make him breakfast.
I was there one time when a man walked in and asked to borrow a wrench to tighten a nut on his car. The owner pointed to another sign: “Do Not Ask to Borrow Tools”.

I just did the B Service myself. Just over $300 in OEM parts from local MB dealer. I could have saved thru an online dealer for parts but decided it was time and did it.
Brake fluid flush
Oil/filter change
Both cabin filters
Rotated tires
Lubed various parts
Local independent shop wanted $450. Local dealers $650 - 750. The hardest part was getting the bottom cover reinstalled on the interior filter housing. That was a PITA! Done once and next time will be easier.
Resetting the service indicator was quirky but I finally got it. Lots of videos out there on how.
And I have a lift so that really helped.

I have viewed so many youtube videos on changing the inside cabin filter and it really looks like a PITA - plus you have to work on your back. Not for me any longer at 78.
The key to resetting the service reminder is to:
- Close doors
- Turn on ignition
- On the dashboard make sure you are display where total mileage is displayed
- Hold home button down for several seconds and hit the scroll but once or twice.
- Vehicle data, Dynameter test, brake pad replacement and Assyst Plus will come up
- Scroll down to Assyst Plus
- Switch on ignition to activate
- Scroll back to Service data, full service and scroll down to Full Service
- Confirm Full service
- Grade Oil 229.5
- Yes
- Confirm
You have now reset.
