2025 GLC first service
Hello there,It's been almost a year since I got my 2025 GLC. I have driven the car only about 4k miles. The dashboard is now showing that the car is due for service B.
- It is mandatory to do the recommended service at the dealership?
- How much is the cost for the first service in US?
- What is service A vs service B?

Did you buy this used? First service is normally an A service which is just an oil and filter change. Service B is same as A, but with other items such as air filters and brake fluid change. If your car is a year old with only 4K it would be an A service. Cost will vary but expect to pay at least $250 and as much as $800 for an A service depending on the dealership and what "extra" things they recommend. An Indy shop will typically be cheeper and just as good depending on the shop. You can opt for just an oil change at the dealership and pay closer to $250 depending on the dealership.

Welp, that is strange unless the PDI folks accidentally? (Which doesn't happen because they have to go to the workshop menu to confirm) reset it. Maybe they did an oil change (if vehicle was sitting on the lot for more than a year) prior to delivery? What is your build date?

The B service is the expensive one. When my '22 GLC needed B service, the two MB dealerships both charged $1,300. I found a small independent shop that did it for $600 and I had no problem with my lease return. The independent shop also documented the service and it was on the CarFax when the car was returned and listed for resale. The car resold in two days.

B service usually include a brake fluid change that might be what drives up the price a little, but here is an idea of what B service includes but a older vehicle: https://www.mercedes-benz.ca/content..._Ed_B__ENG.pdf
- Service B is around 20K miles

So I finally called Mercedes customer service and they agreed that it should be Service A for the first year.
I ended up going to a Mercedes dealership in Northern Virginia (USA) and I was quoted $650+ for service A.
I paid about $540 after declining optional wiper blade replacement.
