Typical Price for B Service on an Older Car

[Wighty]

C class 220 diesel w204.202 automatic, reg Sep 13, 55000 miles. I bought it new and had it under a MB service contact for 5 years. It had all work done as per their schedule (well bar an autobox oil change which when I asked why it wasn’t on the record they said it would have been done and altered the record ). Since then I have serviced it myself. I always serviced my own cars until I bought this car (my father was a Ford mechanic for 30 years). The A and B service I am happy with but being of a certain age I am used to a list of service items (coolant, fan belt, gear box and diff oil change etc etc) and as I say am struggling with what additional items to do. I have entered my details into the serviceMercedes Benz.co.uk website and have a service sheet (B service this time) this only shows a usual B service with nothing extra required this year. It does not show an autobox oil change which I believe is due this year. I have also use the mymercedesservice.co.uk website and using my mileage it shows an autobox service plus loads of other items (air filter, fuel filter etc (£1500 worth of work)), however if I up the mileage it shows standard B service at £400 with no extras.

They altered the record and said the auto box “would have been done “ ??? Any proof ?

Their word, ‘trust me’

Dealer service schedules are just a laughable joke to give people the illusion of lower running costs. Don’t need a service for 20k pal but at 40k you will need a new engine
