Can Independent Mechanics update Digital Service Report?
I have a 2017 GLC 300 CPO with 3 years left on the warranty. If I get my B Service done by an independent mechanic, would it validate my warranty? I heard that there is something called a Digital Service Report where all service is entered - can independent mechanics access it? If not, would MB still honor my warranty?
I am a newbie here and did search but wasn't able to find the answer.
Thanks in advance.

A gaggle of MB's
If you keep the paper documentation from your Indie - that's all you need - the Mercedes master record is called "VMI" and records only MB Dealer service on that permanent record. More and more CarFax can pickup some indie service records - but that CarFax service record is not official.

How about those of us who do our own oil/filter changes and reset the service indicator? I have receipts for the oil and filters... am I asking for issues down the road if I have to make a warranty claim? I have such a hard time justifying dealer service costs when I'm more than capable of, and enjoy, doing routine maintenance...
