Took my B class into a Mercedes dealership today for a quote every bit my nuance is telling me I accept 1500 miles until its due a D service - half-dozen years onetime, 35000miles.

Apparently its the same equally a B service. A (+C) = small-scale, B (+D) = major.
I was told that an A was £225. Not much help equally I asked for a D (B) service but finally found out that "thats only £299". Ok, I thought only "what is done"?

I could not get an answer from him apart from "a modify of brake fluid worth £50 and an internal/external filter for air coming into the cabin (whatever that is)". I told him that I changed my brake fluid when doing the brakes six months ago so didnt need that doing.

Then what is this D service so? Can anyone shed whatsoever low-cal as to what will get washed and are they likely to pile on charges midway through equally they said they would need to check the computer with the chassis number to detect out what exactly volition need doing - although he wasnt prepared to do that then. What a headache, Im not prepared to hand my car over to a dealer to be at the mercy of what effectively is a bare cheque.

All these letters are in fact pretty meaningless. Certainly our local dealer simply sticks to A or B plus whatsoever else seems to be due on a fourth dimension basis - eg brake fluid, plugs etc.

The letter affair used to exist an indication of how long the chore takes i.due east. A service is one hr, B is two hour, C is three 60 minutes so on and then forth...

Took my B class into a Mercedes dealership today for a quote as my dash is telling me I have 1500 miles until its due a D service - 6 years old, 35000miles.

Apparently its the aforementioned equally a B service. A (+C) = modest, B (+D) = major.
I was told that an A was £225. Not much help every bit I asked for a D (B) service but finally found out that "thats only £299". Ok, I thought simply "what is done"?

I could not get an answer from him apart from "a change of brake fluid worth £50 and an internal/external filter for air coming into the cabin (any that is)". I told him that I changed my brake fluid when doing the brakes half-dozen months agone then didnt need that doing.

So what is this D service then? Can anyone shed whatever lite equally to what will go done and are they likely to pile on charges midway through as they said they would need to bank check the computer with the chassis number to detect out what exactly will need doing - although he wasnt prepared to do that and so. What a headache, Im not prepared to hand my machine over to a dealer to be at the mercy of what effectively is a bare cheque.


The messages signify how long it will accept (I think from memory D means information technology will have between iii and iv hours). The actually elements that make up that fourth dimension e'er vary.

^ Or nosotros he said above. Doh!

Thanks guys. I was told past the MB service dept that A, B, C, D, Due east, F etc referred to the guild of service. So adjacent year would be an E and so a F etc.

Im mainly trying to work out what gets done in a B/D/2hour service to see whether it is in fact worth taking it to MB or if its a giant rip off. I have full MB dealer/specialist service history and would like to keep it that fashion for resale value but need to work out whether what they really will do with which they dont seem to want to tell me.

I couldnt piece of work out whether he didnt know what he was talking virtually or deliberately feeding me rubbish. I think he was just clueless, either style not reassuring.

What is generally included in a B service over an A service? I take a feeling spark plugs volition be included which would arrive more than than the £75 he quoted which makes me nervous of receiving a bill college than quoted.

Lots on the web - as a for example:

What is service A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2, C, D, E, E1, E2, E3, F, 1000, H, or + service for Mercedes Benz and how do i decide what it is?

The services due are determined by the motorcar based on mileage and time. A-H is a time indicator for how long the service on your machine will take to perform (A=1 hour , B=2 hours, max H=eight hours). If you accept a + afterward the service that means you lot are due for a brake inspection.

The services due tin exist any combination of xx possible services. To view the service detail(due south) that are due, y'all tin can recall the service carte du jour in the multifunction brandish. It will tell you the service lawmaking due, but to determine what service the lawmaking correlates to, the Mercedes Benz service information program (WIS) will have to be called upwardly. The services exercise vary from vehicle year and model then a service number 5 on one car can be completely different on some other automobile.

Common service items for late model cars using ASSYST PLUS:

Mail #6 was dismissing.

I understood each alphabetic character was a time thing based on the number of things being required.

I don't know for definite though.

Lots on the spider web - as a for case:

What is service A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2, C, D, Due east, E1, E2, E3, F, Grand, H, or + service for Mercedes Benz and how do i determine what it is?

The services due are determined past the car based on mileage and fourth dimension. A-H is a time indicator for how long the service on your car will take to perform (A=1 hour , B=two hours, max H=eight hours). If you take a + after the service that means yous are due for a restriction inspection.

The services due can be whatsoever combination of 20 possible services. To view the service detail(southward) that are due, you tin can call upwards the service menu in the multifunction display. It will tell you lot the service code due, but to determine what service the code correlates to, the Mercedes Benz service information program (WIS) will take to be called up. The services do vary from vehicle year and model so a service number 5 on one car can be completely different on another motorcar.

Common service items for belatedly model cars using ASSYST PLUS:

Oil and filter alter (12k, 13k, or once a year. Europa Car recommends changing your oil every seven,500 miles)
Cabin filter (26k or 2 years)
Air filter (52k or four years. We recommend changing the air filter more than often. This is included in our B service.)
Car inspection (Once per year)
Restriction flush (Once every 2 years)
Spark plugs (Depends on model usually every 78k, 100k, or every 5 years)
Fuel filter (65K or five years)(Diesel every 26k)
Charcoal filter (60K or v years)
Transmission flush (Once at 39k 2006 and later model year)
A1 service (1 year or 13k miles): A service in addition wiper blades.
A2 service (3 years or 39k miles: A service in addition wiper blades and transmission affluent service. 4-matic likewise has transfer case flush.
B1 service (2 years or 26k miles): B service (dealer does non modify air filter) in addition to restriction flush.
B2 service (iv years or 52k miles): B service (dealer does alter air filter) in addition to restriction flush.
E1 service (E form at 50k miles): B service in improver to brake flush. Diesel engine replace fuel filter.
E2 service (E class at 60k miles): A service in add-on to fuel filter (Gasoline), and spark plugs.
E3 service (E class at 70k miles): B service in addition to brake flush. Diesel engine replace fuel filter.


Thanks for that. In that location is a lot of info on the internet. Take the in a higher place mail service almost the ESS. It gives contrasting info to this and this is just on one thread. Knowing what it should exist is extremely difficult.

Im but wanting Mercedes to tell me what they volition do and how much it will toll and so that I dont get a nasty surprise at the finish of the day (my trust in them is waning fast). It really isnt unreasonable all the same its something they dont seem to be able to do. Whether its piece of cake to discover out or not is non really my trouble. Leaving a customer scratching his head with unanswered questions every bit to what he is paying £300+ for is non really ok.

Hmmmmmm.

Ever tried to figure the spark plug change schedule for a R170 from its service book?

I'yard not sure its scientific discipline as a ready of mystic clues and spells.

And I'chiliad fairly sure Assyst+ is based on upgrading from that to astrology.

Behind the scenes the dealers probably go the equivalent of Tarot cards. They take a sample of your hair and mix it with a sample of the engine oil and then burn it while cartoon the cards to decide what to do to the auto and how much to charge.

Tin dealers put on additional charges as they see fit? I have read a few reports where they have 'checked' parts as per the service schedule only to find that parts need replacing and added £200-£300 more on top of the standard service cost.
