Service B
My Service B message just comes up. The dealer is running a special for Service B at $399. Does anyone know what are included as part of the Service B? Also, is $399 price inline with everyone?
Thanks!
Thanks!

If I recall it's pretty minor - something like an oil change and a bunch of inspections. It's in your Warranty / Service Log book - where you should be recording each service with a dealer stamp etc. Servicing usually goes Major, Minor, Major Minor. Depends too on your accumulated kms. and the computer tracks your usage.
Service C is more extensive and a major service (the first real service after the car leaves the dealer lot new) - Had mine done around 28,000 KMs. This included a combo filter, a software upgrade for my temp control knobs, a warranty rear shock replacement, a brake fluid change, a new cabin / dust air filter, an oil change (Mobil 1 5W40), washer fluid, and a new guide/sheave pulley for my V belt.
I asked them to do the brake fluid since it's specified soon (by kms) anyway. Although it cost me a few bucks, it gave me peace of mind (that the car I bought used was sound) and I knew if anything major happened within the remainder of the warranty period that I'd done what was required as per Mercedes. (I didn't pay for the shock or for the pulley)
Well worth it to me.
