First ‘A’ Service Overview (M256 Engine)
Found this video. It’s for another car, but it’s the same inline-6 cylinder engine. Is this worth the $300 - $500 for an ‘A’ service (the cost is just a guess based on anecdotal forum reports as I have yet to do mine)? Seems pretty straightforward and simple if you ask me.

Just had a service "A" on my 2021 GLE450 at MB of Portland. Total net cost was $205.82, after deducting some amount (I can't figure out from invoice) as credit for my lifetime oil service coverage I purchased. Of note:
- Checked, but didn't replace air filter
- Got charged $17.95 for a "screw plug". Oil plan plug?
- Addressed a recall: "update mobile phone cradle, control unit software.
- AND, got charged $2.50 for replacement battery in my key FOB - something they used to do for free, and I'll do myself from now on.
