Service B

Has anyone taken their SLK 350 to get the Service B yet? I believe that's the first major service after the initial 1-3K Service the dealer provides free of charge. Also, I'm getting confused with this FSS A and FSS B...does this only apply to cars up until 2004?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

1-3 k .. the service manager told us to get the first service at 10 k. And by that time, the display to check the oil kept coming up.

I have taken my SLK in for service B (around 13k miles) a few weeks back. It cost about $400 here in MA. It included oil change, fluid check, light check, tire check and a small list of other stuff. Took about 4 hours although i left it at the dealer so they probably didnt work on it right away.

oil change

hi, my car is '05 slk 350. i had my service 'a' at 5025 miles. fss wanted me to wait until 13000. fss was then set to service 'c' and fss was set at 15000 miles. i had my service 'c' which is the same as service 'a' at 9500 miles. fss is now set for service 'b' at approx 23,000 miles. i will have oil change at 15025. synthetic oil or not i change at 5000 miles. i had the service package which consists of 10 coupons for oil change and lube and filter. so first service was $125 and second service was $117. hope this helped some

SLK230K & SLK350
My SLK350 was bought end of Jul 04 its got 2200 miles on the clock and is calling for a Service B in 14 days (its booked in for next Friday) my worry is that although I do not mind paying for the service I never know what is really needed or not, the car is in pristine condition and no faults, my other SLK a 230K has a similar problem (lack of miles) but the timed service comes at 24 months approx so I have an oil change etc then next time a bigger service the rules seem to have changed on the newer models. I have no faith in my dealer as they changed my wipers (SLK230K) 2 days after I fitted new ones, they never looked at them just went by the book.

My 05 SLK 350, has 13K miles my computer said it was due for a B service, when I took it to the dealer, they said it really need an A service which was ONLY $302.50 (for an oild change, bad wash and look over the car) if I can find out how to reset the computer I will have jiffy lube change the oil for $75, what a massive rip off!! I use mobile 1 in my other cars and never paid more than $75 for a change with filter. The two local dealers are both a PIA to deal with, no WiFi, no COFFEE, and a bill for $300, after 6 Benz's this is my last

I haven't hit the service milage yet but have two reminders from the dealer to take it in. When I called they finally admitted they just send them out to remind folks. I wonder how many take them in without checking the manual, bet the make some bucks by "sending friendly reminders". Ah, got to watch them guys, remember they all started out as used car salesmen :p
