Anyway, I got my oil changed at a reputable service center using Mobile 1 snythetic and MB filters for $88. I've searched the web on how to reset the maintenance indicator and nothing works. I've gotten to the voltage screen, but there is not a maintenance screen in this area. Anyone have any ideas besides getting the car serviced by Mercedes and paying $500?

You might try this....it's for a 2006 C230:
"Just completed the B service tonight on my 2006 C230 and reset the service timer. 25,600 miles
Note:
When the timer is approximately 500 miles from service, the display will post a reminder for five seconds each time you turn on the ignition counting down by 100 mile increments until it reads 'service B is due'.
Step
1. Step into car, shut the door and turn on the ignition, Position 2. Do not crank/start engine. On this step, the service due message will post. Allow five seconds to pass until normal/regular information display is shown.
2. I then pushed the up arrow button on steering wheel to display service interval. It read 'Service B is due now'.
3. Push reset button(also serves as dasboard dimmer dial) left of temp gauge for several seconds. Service display will then show press for 3 seconds to reset timer. After three seconds with finger on reset button, timer will reset. Mine read 'Service A 13,000 miles'."
