What are the most common Mercedes maintenance needs?

While Mercedes are designed to endure high speeds and long drives, the importance of regular maintenance cannot be overstated. Scheduled maintenance services are vital to keep your Mercedes running smoothly.

The following are the most common Mercedes maintenance needs:

Brake Service and Repair: Over time, wear and tear can affect the efficiency of the brakes, and while Mercedes are built for safety, they also require specialized maintenance to keep their advanced braking systems working optimally. Check your breaks regularly to ensure your safety.
Suspension services and repairs: The innovative suspension systems built into Mercedes are what make the drive feel characteristically smooth and controlled. However, due to the complexity of these systems, certain components like the air suspension bags or control bags can wear out or malfunction over time. Because of this, we recommend routine inspections to maintain top functionality in your Mercedes.
Engine repair and check engine light diagnostics: The most common Mercedes issues when it comes to the engine are with key components like the fuel injectors and the turbocharger. If your check engine light turns on, don’t ignore it—bring it to us for a comprehensive diagnostic inspection to prevent further damage.
Transmission services and repairs: The transmission in Mercedes requires regular fluid changes and potential repairs to keep it in peak condition. Issues like delayed shifting, slipping gears, or strange noises could indicate and issue with the transmission that needs attention.

What to Check Periodically

Besides the regular checks, here are the things you should have checked by professionals:

Tires: While you may be checking your tires daily, it is essential to schedule tire maintenance weekly, either for replacement, alignment, balancing, or maintenance.
Engine air filter: Your engine air filter can get dirty or clogged over time, especially if you drive in dusty areas. Therefore, to ensure your engine’s longevity, schedule a time once every month to get your engine’s air filter cleaned or replaced. It is also important to change the air filter during engine servicing, which should be once every six months.
Brake system: While you need to check the fluid daily, you can leave the other systems for monthly checkups. Parts like the brake pad, linings, disc, and so on can be replaced every three months (depending on your driving habits).
Belt and Hose: Don’t wait until you start to hear weird sounds; change your car’s belts and hoses every month to ensure that other parts of your car function well.
Fluid Flush: Even if the fluids in your car remain at the right level, you should change it for completely new content every six months.
Spark Plugs: While this is usually checked during engine servicing, it is advisable to replace your car’s plugs with completely new ones every year. It’s better to prevent the problem than wait for the plugs to fail before changing them.
Battery: No matter how great your car’s battery is, change it as soon as it reaches three years old.
