B3 service issue
All
i just had my 2014 GL450 in for the B3 service. The issue I discovered after I got home and read the worksheet ( yes I should have questioned it at the dealer) was that they never did the brake flush per the required 4 year/40k mercedes maint booklet. Hey did a few “ recommended” items like rotating the tires and replacing the wiper blades ( 77 dollars for the blades!)
the worksheet said that the brake fluid was due.
the dealer said hat a brake flush is an optional item
Not on the regular b service.
Am
i completely wrong or if it says required on the maint manual, I should expect it to be done on the b service.?
now I have wasted a day and told the dealership as such.

What is it with Merc windshield washer hoses? The wife's coupe had a leak in the hose at the reservoir right after we picked it. At least the only had to take the front end apart.

Brake fluid flush/ change is not included in an A or B service. It is an upsell Item. All items in the required section and additional required are to be performed by the tech/ dealer if you have prepaid maintenance.
