Mercedes-Benz Car Service Overview

Mercedes-Benz vehicles require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. The primary services offered are Service A and Service B, which are designed to cover maintenance tasks.

Service A

Service A is performed after the first 10,000 miles or one year of ownership, whichever comes first. After the initial service, it's recommended every 20,000 miles or two years. Regular maintenance through Service A helps prevent potential issues before they become serious problems. Below are the services included.

Motor Oil Replacement 

The service includes replacing the engine oil with high-quality synthetic motor oil to keep the engine running smoothly. Regular oil changes help protect the engine, optimize performance, and regulate temperature. It also adds to the effective lubrication and protection of engine components.

Oil Filter Replacement

Along with the oil change, the oil filter is replaced to check if contaminants are filtered out from the engine oil. Over time, the filter can become clogged with debris and dirt, hindering its effectiveness and leading to engine wear. Clean oil helps reduce friction, prevents overheating, and extends engine life. It's generally recommended to change the oil and filter every 10,000 miles or as advised in your owner's manual.

Fluid Level Checks

Our technicians check all essential fluid levels, such as coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. This helps make corrections as necessary based on factory-recommended service intervals for your specific vehicle model. Regular inspections of various fluids help prevent potential issues that could lead to costly repairs. You can have these fluids checked at least once every six months or as specified in your vehicle's maintenance booklet.

Tire Inflation Check

The tire pressures, including the spare tire, are checked and adjusted to meet the manufacturer's specifications for optimal handling and fuel efficiency. Under-inflated tires can increase rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption. It's important to have properly inflated tires for optimal handling and stability. 

Brake Component Inspection

Our technicians conduct a thorough inspection of the brake components, such as brake pads, rotors, and other components for wear. The inspection process typically involves the visual assessment of all brake components for signs of wear or damage, along with measurement of the thickness of brake pads and rotors to make sure they're within acceptable limits. We also test the brake fluid for moisture content, as high moisture levels can reduce braking efficiency. 

Maintenance Counter Reset

After completing the service, the maintenance counter is reset to keep track of future service intervals accurately and update the vehicle's service record. This process helps maintain the vehicle's performance. You'll stay informed of your Mercedes-Benz's maintenance needs, preventing potential issues from neglected services. 

Service B

This service is generally performed after 20,000 miles or two years from the last service. It includes everything in Service A plus additional checks. 

Cabin Dust/Combination Filter Replacement

Replacing the cabin dust/combination filter helps improve the air quality inside the vehicle by trapping dust, pollen, and other airborne particles. A clean filter enhances passenger comfort and protects the vehicle's heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system from debris buildup, which can lead to more significant issues over time. By replacing the filter, you'll have fresh air within the cabin and free from allergens.

Brake Fluid Exchange

Over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture and contaminants, which may compromise braking efficiency. By replacing old brake fluid with new, high-quality fluid, this service helps maintain optimal braking performance and safety. This exchange also prevents brake system corrosion and ensures the brakes respond properly.

Comprehensive Inspection

Service B also includes a comprehensive inspection of all major systems in the vehicle. This thorough check covers components such as brakes, tires, fluid levels, and more. By conducting this inspection, technicians can identify potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs or safety hazards. The inspection ensures that all systems function correctly and that any necessary adjustments or repairs are made promptly.
