Sorry all for the dumb question....
My C class c180 Avantgarde"54"plate needs a "B Service"
It should of had one 100 miles ago, (warning light comes on every time I start the car)

Due to the current financial climate (currently I can't afford it)
How many miles realistically can i go over - i knowthe service is urgent....but other things come first.
Many thanks Parkie

 

Oh 100 miles is nothing. My wife drive our E320 and forgot to tell about a serivce A and she drove it alomost 3,000 miles over. No big deal. Just get it done whenever you can.

 

I went 600 miles over then just did most of the service myself.

 

I've gone over by about 2,000 miles once before myself. Procrastination. Do it as soon as you can, but don't stress going over by a couple hundred.

 

I million dollar answer. Beleive me. You can afford it. Dont go anywhere. Get Oil Changed, that's it. This is the service A,B,C,D,....Z

Dealer here charges 550 $ for Service B. What does he do :

1.) Change Oil (varies, you put a very good oil for 95 $, and a not so goodone which you can change again for 40 $ , plus some oil disposal fee )
2.) Change Wipers (You dont need to change, if yes then go to walmart buy for 5 $)
3.) Change Oil Filter (You can skip it for a while or change it, buy for max 35 $ from Autozone)
4.) Rotate tyres (You can skip it , if not then change it urself )
5.) They check battery. (No need to do)
6.) Check tyre thread (You can check it yourself by using the penny rule)
7.) Wash (Go to a car wash and spend 5 $)
8.) Check brake pad (Skip it, do it in next service)
9.) Washer Fluid (Fill it youtself, make it on your own from soap water or buy from walmart 5 $)

So you see you dont need to spend $$$$$ to do it. I would say its better to do it yourself then take a risk your merc.

How much it will be, if I were you. I will put cheap oil (50 $ ) and wont do anything else coz there is nothing to do other than oil change.

Still dont trust me, google around a bit and see what is SERVICE B... NOTHING ... just OIL CHANGE.

Best Of Luck.
