Mercedes Car Service

A-Service is the first service your Mercedes will require, and is done at approximately 15,000 kilometres or a year. This plan is determined by the Flexible Service System, and after that it is determined for every 30,000 kilometres or two years.

A-Service checks are generally routine checks to ensure that your Mercedes engine and other service parts are all working smoothly. A typical service will include the following:

• Interior checks (function, warning lights, indicators, interior lights, windscreen, wipers, etc)
• Wheels and brake checks (brake pads, tire condition, tire pressure)
• Engine checks (oil and filter, fluid levels for brakes, coolant, battery and windscreen, battery condition, bonnet catch)
• Boot (spare tire check, battery condition)

B-Service plans are scheduled at approximately 30,000 kilometres or one year after the previous service. This plan is also determined by Flexible Service System, and after the first service is completed every 30,000 kilometres or every two years.

B-Service checks are more detailed than A-Service checks, often because the car has had a bit more wear and tear by the time it is due for its B-Service plan. Typical checks during this Mercedes service could include any of the following:

• Interior (warning and indicator lamps, illumination and interior lighting, windshield wiper, windshield washer system, headlamp cleaning system, combination or dust filter, parking brake function test)
• Wheels and brakes (front and rear brake discs and pads, tire condition, tread and inflation)
• Underside of vehicle (major components leakage, chafe marks, line routing, damaged components, front axle ball joints, mechanical steering and rubber boots)
• Engine checks (leakage, fluid levels, engine oil and filter, cooling system, brake system, power steering, Active Body Control, battery, engine boot door checks, condition of poly V-belt)
• Boot (battery condition, tire inflation pressure in spare tire)
