Hi , just had my car annual service on a Mercedes Service Plan and the brake fluid has not been changed by the serving dealer.
The brake fluid has been changed every two years on the Mercedes service plan.
The dealer told me that Mercedes provide them with a list of work they will pay for and change of break fluid was not authorised for change.
Another job for next week !
What really annoys me that the dealer could have told me that the brake fluid had not been changed.
I was told many years ago West Midlands / West Mercia Police check brake fluid condition when a major RTA happens as a matter of course !
The reason this happened according to the dealer
Because I had booked the car in early for the service this was the reason Mercedes would not authorise the bfc , but if I had booked the car in late the brake fluid would have been authorised by Mercedes and changed.
Update
The dealer told me they would see what they could do about it , as I pointed out to them I have paid for the work to be done.
