As a Mercedes owner, you know well that owning a Mercedes-Benz is more than owning just any car; it’s experiencing craftsmanship, luxury, high-performance, and elegance all in one.
At Momentum Motorworks, we understand that top engineering also requires top specialized care, and we’re here to help maintain your Mercedes’ exceptional quality. With years of experience in German auto care, we provide expert, efficient service tailored to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi owners in Birmingham and surrounding areas.
Let’s talk about everything your Mercedes needs in terms of maintenance.
Why Regular Maintenance Is So Important
Routine maintenance is not just about keeping your Mercedes sleek and clean, it’s about ensuring its longevity and performance. Regular checks help identify and fix potential issues before they become serious problems, consume less fuel, and maintain your car’s value.
When it comes to Mercedes-Benz, there are service intervals set to make sure repairs last and your vehicle keeps running optimally. These intervals are usually divided into two main categories: service A and service B. Let’s get into specifics with each.
Service A
Service A is a scheduled maintenance service for Mercedes models from 2009 or newer, it is usually performed after the first year or 10,000 miles of ownership, and then every two years or 20,000 miles after that. Though it can depend on your driving habits. This service makes sure your Mercedes runs smoothly, here’s what it covers:
- Oil and filter change
- Fluid level checks
- Tire pressure checks
- Brake inspection
- Maintenance reset.
Service B
Service B is designed to provide a deeper and more comprehensive level of care to your Mercedes. For models from after 2009, service B is required after one year or 20,000 miles and every two years after that. It includes everything in service A and a few extra repairs:
- Oil and filter change
- Tire pressure checks
- Fluid inspections and adjustments
- Dust filter change
- Brake fluid replacement
- Brake inspection
- Maintenance reset
At Momentum Motorworks we specialize in both services to make sure your Mercedes leaves as good as if it just came out of the factory. Let’s talk about the required procedures.
Oil And Filter Change
Regular oil and filter changes are essential because they keep your engine’s moving parts well lubricated and help reduce wear and tear on the engine.
Tire Pressure Checks
Regularly checking your tire pressure is essential to ensure your Mercedes performs optimally and maintains good fuel efficiency. It’s also important to regularly inspect the tires for uneven wear and replace them if necessary.
Fluid Inspections
Making sure all your fluids like oil, brake fluid, and coolant are at their proper levels is vital to your Mercedes’ optimal performance.
Brake Inspections
Brake inspections are incredibly important for your safety. It includes checking the brake pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, and brake fluid.
Air Filter Replacement
Regularly replacing the air filter is important to make sure your Mercedes engine receives the right amount of oxygen. A clogged filter can affect engine power and fuel efficiency.
Mercedes Scheduled Maintenance
Mercedes scheduled maintenance is really important to keep your car running smoothly, make sure to follow the service schedule outlined in your owner’s manual.
Your driving habits also play a part in how regularly you should service your Mercedes. To extend your engine’s life, you should avoid harsh acceleration, sudden braking, and pushing it to the limit.
