B Service Anyone?

I just reached the 20K on the odometer and the MID calls for a B service. Sorry I'm at work right now, but what does the B service include and how much have people been paying for it?

scrb09 and all,

Thanks for the link. I had forgotten all about that site. So it looks like basically an oil change and tire rotation. Over $100 seems excessive for this service, though.

got the B2 done 2 weeks ago and it cost me $250. found a nice tire shop that i may go from now on for rotation and alignment so hopefully the next MID maintenance i can get those service removed from the dealer and pay a lower price. just replaced my tires and alignment and rotation are free if i go to the tire shop

I paid $169 for my B1 service. I paid $263 for my B2 service. A lot of money in either case, but with this much new tech on a car I simply don't trust the neighborhood mechanic. A plus is that I live only 5 minutes' drive from my dealer.

I brought mine in yesterday. Cost me 189 (had a coupun, would have been 219). I'm just shy of 12K miles. I love the little sticker on the window that tells me to come in at 15K as well. That was free (probably not, now that I think about it).

Those stickers say come in come in... give us more of your money.. I find them to be a distraction. Simple rule of thumb is to just go in 5,10,15, etc I am sure they will ask you if you want the 12K service at 15, etc....
