Service A to Service C...Where is Service B?
My GL450 turned 1-year old recently, and has 10,500mi on the clock. Well, the OBC said Service A was due now, so I took it to the dealership to have it done for $200. Got the GL back, and noticed the OBC now saying that Service C is due in 13,000mi. My question is, what happened to Service B? Why did it get skipped? Did the service tech. make an error when resetting the computer? I would assume that the next service to be done should be a Service B, not Service C.
Thanks for all your help.

At about 7,000 miles, I got a message that Service B was due...never even got Service A. I took it in & the SA said that the service indicators will change from A to B to C, etc. depending upon the driving conditions of the vehicle. Not sure if he was full of BS or not, but I had the Service B done. I've got 16,600 on the car now and the indicator says Service C to be done at 19K.

Cal,
I was wondering how anyone could only have 10,500 miles on their GL after 1 year. Then, I noticed your other toys. Lucky you.
BTW... I turned 4,000 miles at 3 months and thought I was doing pretty good at keeping my mileage low. Guess not.

My guess is, Cal, that your mechanic skipped a service. I had service A message come up about a month after I got the car last Dec. When I took it in for 1K checkup, they reset it and now it tells me that service A is due at 15K miles. I know I am not that nice a driver Take it in.

Thanks to everyone else for their input. I guess I will call up the dealer and see what's the deal with the maintenance indicator.

I bought my GL450 with 8,000 miles on it (executive demo). I am not due for service and it says B service is due at about 13,000 miles. So do you think they did the A service before I bought it, or did it skip the A and it's first service is a B.
I used to get 13,000 between service on my ML.

Ask your SA or salesperson for a copy of the vehicle's service records.

I was at the dealer today...
I asked if they had any repair or maintenance work done on it. The answer was "nope, other than we top off fluids, etc when we sold it to you" The vehicle said to do a Service B but the dealer said since it was it's first service they would do a Service A. All went well and since my salesman gave me my first service free, I walked out at no charge - saved $240.
