Service B? What is it?

On the M5 boards they had the dealer list of everything included with each level of service/maintenance...

Anyone have a similar resource here? My B is up in 1200 miles and if it's just an oil and filter change I'd rather not lose the car for 2 days and spend the $450 quoted by the dealer...also there has been a rash of "unnecessary" maintenance going around the area from this same dealership...

My main concern right now is the B, but if we have a list of A, B, C, etc..it'd make a great sticky. I've done a couple of searches with no luck...

You know, $450 isn't bad. I was just told our local Dealers charge $599.00....

Oil change, Filter, cabon filter, some micro filter etc.


I hope that helps..

This local shop is a bit pricey but they have a listing of what is done during A and B maintenance checks. There are links on this page to the detailed list of what they offer for their A and B service.

Mercedes Benz
It is a very expensive oil change where a highly trained man will look at the car and tell you the coolant is ok the brake fluid is full and that your brake pads are not yet worn out (or maybe they are). All that love for $350!

Then for additional fees they will gladly change the engine air filter, cabin filter, and wiper blades. Those items are all additional cost changes. So a full service could easily be $600 bucks.

Then they will try to sell you a brake flush or coolant flush if they are feeling lucky that day.

Its just a really expensive oil change.
