S550 Transmission Service***
I have a 4:30 appointment today and would like some advice.
Car is a 2009 S550, purchased around June/July 2009 and only has 31,500 miles on it. It will have around 38-39,000 miles on it by this time next year.
The car is due for service "B". I see that a transmission service is due for 4 years or 40,000 miles. The car being not close at all to 40k miles, is it necessary to do a transmission service or can I get away with doing it next year?
The price for service B with the transmission I was quoted around $1,200 or without around $350.
Thank you for your opinion

May I ask if the trans. service was done by an MB dealer? If so, where? I got snapped pretty hard for mine at an authorized MB dlr. locally. Indi said he could not do it, as some special tool was need to inject the fluid. Thanks.
