30,000 mile services

the dealer suggests the transmission, brake system service, and the coolant service should be done. has anyone had them done? what are your opinions on the value of this service (is it worth it)? and can any certified MB shop be trusted with these services?

Imho this is your call as to whom you trust to touch your vehicle. I personally didnt care much for 2 of the MB dealers here.Did some homework and found two independents that are both master techs and lead teams at two dealers here. Cost wise and honestly we all know maintaining these vehicles is what keeps the total repair costs down in most cases. Just my thought.
