My cars on 17,800 m. Had it’s A Serv today at mb. Oil/filter. Spark plugs. Air filter and trans service. Didn’t know the car needed a trans serv at this mileage / age. Normal?

Are you on a service plan.

Yes my car was on a Serv plan. Just expired

The work is genuine then, as they wouldn’t get paid any more for it.

I have a feeling the cut and paste from the translation into English was not anywhere near fully cut.

I just called up mercedes instead, told them my reg for the w177 and the advisor looked on their system and told me the gearbox service for A200 (my reg) is due every 77,500 miles and was about £220.

That sounds reasonable for an MB garage and the mileage is much higher than the mileage posted elsewhere for when an oil change is required.

My service last year when the car reached three years old the garage were incorrectly told by the MB system that my gearbox oil did not need changing. After my questioning it due to posts on this forum they found they did need to change it.
