My GL450 is going in for service C. What should this cost around? Sounds like 500+. what they do in the service C

my car is serviced and came back yesterday. and they charged me $743 for Service C.

After this service my car's driver side seat headrest is stopped moving up and down. i need to take it to them again...

What was involved in "Service C" or did your receipt not list the individual items?

Yeah....I'm going in for service C next week.....would appreciate any info as well!!

sure i will post this info today evening when i go home.

Has anyone done a Service C lately on the GL? Is $700+ correct or has the price gone up even more.

How many miles do you have and what constitutes a "Service C"? I just had my 30K service and it was less than $300.

is it just me or is MB very secretive about their servicing? First-time owner with only ~1800 miles on my '09 GL so far from needing service, but I sure do see a lot of questions about Services A,B,and C from folks asking what it costs and what exactly is done.

Mine has walked 11,000 miles and it is telling me I am 23 days late for Service C . I bought it in May 07 .

My Service C was around $450. Service C includes oil/filter, wiper blades, rotate tires, cabin filters, brake fluid flush, and some other things I can't remember. I also had my engine air filter changed and rear brake pads done when they were doing it. Pretty pricey visit.............

I'm at 21K miles, I believe the computer just cycles A/B/C?

Not that I actually trust SAs to know for sure, but mine said it involved which filters and/or fluids had to be replaced, based on either time, miles, sensors or some combination thereof (that last part being from memory, I forget what he said). So you might get a service A, then B, then C, then B, then B, then A, potentially. If I understood properly.

I think it is important to get a price up front and require approval for anything in addition to that. This eliminates any surprises.

oh gawd...

they are all glorified oil changes.

some include chassis lube, others include fuel filter change (on the gl320 this is very important as diesel fuel in the states is of very bad quality), and others include cabin filter change and lastly tire rotation.

so- do your oil/filter change and rotate tires every service, change your fuel filter as required, replace whenever you feel like the cabin filter and bring the truck to the dealer for the tranny oil change at the indicated mileage in the book.

regularly check brake pads or just wait for the wear indicator to light up. measure service thickness of rotors and if ok, replace brake pads (very easy). if not- replace rotors and pads (most likely not happening the first 50k miles anyway).

keep your receipts for all filters/oils you buy in case they are required for you to show maintenance has been completed.

reset service indicator through dashboard.

not very complicated.

For my 2007 GL 320, I believe that in addition to all the inspections, fluid level checks, chassis lube etc, the services generally refer to the following:

Service A is Oil Change plus Fuel Filter Change.

Service B is Oil Change

Service C is Oil Change plus Brake Fluid Change plus Trans Fluid and Filter Change.

How do you reset the service indicator in the dashboard.
