Nothing's wrong.... the counter is based on mileage and time. I once didn't drive much of my C55.... 1 year and 3000 miles later, she asked to be serviced.

So no biggie.... just be certain you or someone else didn't reset it at close to 0-mile mark. Otherwise, it would mean you missed or would miss the service.

But service A is just an oil change... you could do it your own

Not sure if you are clear on the service reminder. Your next service A is currently in 9700 mi. The reminder will show every 100 mi. In other words, after you have driven 100 miles it will flash Service A in 9600 mi. and continue to count down until your reach 0. Service A is, for the most part, just an oil change...$250. at the dealer.
