40K services.

Hi,
While in Houston, i call MB Greenway do 40K mls services. They told my 2011 ML550 need to do service B $990 (included power steering and brake fluid flush), transmission service $430, both front and rear axel service $280, and rear differential service $140 plus taxes.
Do i need to do all of these, or some of them.
Thank you.

WOW!! $1,840 for service @40K.. I understand it's a Benz but seriously

As far as you needing to do all. I guess it depends on what you have had serviced in the 40K. Are all services up to date or did you skip some of them?

You should check the MB maintenance manual.

what does your owner's manual say? forget about the dealer, what does your book say? what's required? what's recommended? what's optional?
