Service Options

So as many of you guys got those $75-$150 off your next service from MB, I have no idea what to get. I would like to get the trans flush but I hear they **** up the tranny if this is done from other member's posts. Car has 88k on it and runs smooth since I recently had ball joints/mounts all replaced.


Here is the link for the guys who have no idea what I am talking about with the coupon.

Brake flush?
New plugs?

And regarding the tranny service. I dont think anything can get ****ed up if you just drain the fluid and refill it.

I already have plugs/brakes waiting to go in spring time but I was thinking of brake flush but I doubt it will cost $200+. Maybe all fluid flush would be better?

My VIN only allowed me $75!

Going to use mine for brake fluid flush plus install of new Akebono front pads. My dealership wants $160 for flush so I had to add the install of pads to reach the $200 mark.

Just get a tans service, not a trans flush. A simple pan drop/filter change with 4 quarts of new fluid is all you need.

Yeah that is what I was thinking but how do I know if they doing a service or a flush. They will deny anything and everything if something does happen. I rather take it to my Indy in NJ so I know what he is doing.
