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

Evidently its the same as 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 but £299". Ok, I thought but "what is done"?

I could non go an answer from him apart from "a change of restriction fluid worth £fifty and an internal/external filter for air coming into the cabin (whatsoever that is)". I told him that I changed my brake fluid when doing the brakes 6 months ago so didnt need that doing.

And so what is this D service then? Tin anyone shed whatever light equally to what will get done and are they probable to pile on charges midway through as they said they would need to check the computer with the chassis number to find out what exactly will need doing - although he wasnt prepared to do that then. What a headache, Im non prepared to hand my car over to a dealer to exist at the mercy of what effectively is a blank cheque.

All these messages are in fact pretty meaningless. Certainly our local dealer just sticks to A or B plus whatsoever else seems to be due on a time ground - eg brake fluid, plugs etc.

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

Manifestly its the same as a B service. A (+C) = minor, B (+D) = major.
I was told that an A was £225. Not much assistance as I asked for a D (B) service but finally found out that "thats but £299". Ok, I idea merely "what is done"?

I could not get an reply from him autonomously from "a change of brake fluid worth £50 and an internal/external filter for air coming into the cabin (whatever that is)". I told him that I inverse my brake fluid when doing the brakes 6 months agone so didnt need that doing.

And then what is this D service then? Can anyone shed any lite as to what will get done and are they probable to pile on charges midway through equally they said they would need to cheque the computer with the chassis number to find out what exactly will need doing - although he wasnt prepared to practice that so. What a headache, Im non prepared to mitt my car over to a dealer to be at the mercy of what finer is a bare cheque.


The letters signify how long it will take (I recall from memory D ways it volition have between 3 and 4 hours). The actually elements that brand up that time always vary.

^ Or nosotros he said above. Doh!

Thanks guys. I was told by the MB service dept that A, B, C, D, E, F etc referred to the order of service. So next year would be an East then a F etc.

Im mainly trying to piece of work out what gets done in a B/D/2hour service to see whether it is in fact worth taking information technology to MB or if its a behemothic rip off. I have total MB dealer/specialist service history and would like to keep it that way for resale value merely need to work out whether what they actually will do with which they dont seem to want to tell me.

I couldnt work out whether he didnt know what he was talking about or deliberately feeding me rubbish. I think he was simply clueless, either fashion not reassuring.

What is generally included in a B service over an A service? I have a feeling spark plugs will exist included which would brand it more than the £75 he quoted which makes me nervous of receiving a bill higher than quoted.

Strangely, mine needed an F concluding twelvemonth and now requires a G this year.

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

Post #6 was dismissing.

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

I don't know for definite though.

A-H is a fourth dimension indicator for how long the service on your machine volition take to perform (A=1 hr , B=2 hours, max H=8 hours). If you lot have a + subsequently the service that ways you are due for a restriction inspection.

It will tell yous the service code due, only to determine what service the code correlates to, the Mercedes Benz service information programme (WIS) will have to exist called up. The services do vary from vehicle year and model so a service number v on one car can exist completely different on another car.

Thank you for that. There is a lot of info on the internet. Have the above post about the ESS. Information technology gives contrasting info to this and this is just on one thread. Knowing what information technology should be is extremely difficult.

Im just wanting Mercedes to tell me what they will do and how much it will cost 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 yet its something they dont seem to be able to do. Whether its piece of cake to find out or not is not really my trouble. Leaving a client scratching his head with unanswered questions as to what he is paying £300+ for is not really ok.

Hmmmmmm.

E'er tried to effigy the spark plug alter schedule for a R170 from its service book?

I'grand not certain its science as a set of mystic clues and spells.

And I'grand adequately 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 and then burn information technology while drawing the cards to decide what to exercise to the automobile and how much to charge.

Can 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 merely to find that parts need replacing and added £200-£300 more on top of the standard service cost.
