B Service on 2000 S500 @ 65,000 miles
I have a 2000 S500 with ~65,000 miles. Recenty the B Service indicator came on. I contacted the dealer to find out what is involved and how much it costs and this is what I found out -
Cost: $612
Includes:
Oil Change
Inspect wiper blades, lights, fluid
Wash Engine
Check Engine belts
Rotate tires if necessary
Test battery
Check brakes
Do you think it is worth getting this service done by the dealer? Or would you suggest getting an Oil change done by an indy using synthetic oil & MB filter. He will check other stuff as well, but I don't think he has the tool or would know how to reset the Service indicator on the dash display.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks.

To reset the service indicator, just scroll so that it appears on your mfd and hold the reset button for a few seconds till it resets to 10K. That's all there is to that part.

I just had the "B" service done on my 2000 S500. The dealer quoted like $280 for the service. Of course during the service, he found I needed new brake pads and router, there was two oil leeks, etc. The final bill was like $1,500. But, around $500 was covered by my extended warrenty.
