Caring for Your Mercedes

Preserving your Mercedes Benz vehicle's high performance requires careful attention to the service intervals provided by the expert engineers at Mercedes. These service intervals are easy to follow. The following are the basics you need to know about these service intervals:

The first A-service is required at approximately 10,000 miles or one year; your car's Flexible Service System will prompt you when it's time. This Service includes the following:

• Synthetic motor oil change
• Oil filter change
• Fluid level checks as recommended for your vehicle's year and model
• Tire inflation checks
• Brake inspection
• Maintenance counter reset

The first B-visit comes required at 20,000 miles or two years. Again, your automobile's Flexible Service System will let you when to take your car in. Service B includes everything in the Service A checklist with the following additions:

• Cabin dust/combination filter change
• Brake fluid exchange
• For CLA, GLA AMG models, engine air filter replacement

Beyond the initial visits, caring for your Mercedes involves alternating between the A and B service intervals about every 10,000 miles or when prompted by the car's Flexible Service System. High-performance cars like your Mercedes Benz require careful maintenance. The precision elements that give your vehicle its distinct drive and style demand diligent attention. In addition to adhering to the given service intervals, consider the following tips for getting the optimum performance from your car:

• Take a look, and a listen. Walk around your car regularly. Look at the tires and look under the hood. Listen to the engine and the brakes. The better you know your vehicle, the more able you are to detect problems.
• Wash the windows and clean the lights. Visibility is essential; keeping your windows and lights clean and clear will help you avoid easily preventable accidents.
• Please keep it clean. Sure, a dirty car drives just as sweetly as a clean one, but that's not the only reason you love your car. Your Mercedes is beautiful; it's sleek and sophisticated and looks fantastic. Regular washing and waxing will preserve the look you love.

Is it time for your Mercedes to get its Service A or Service B? If so, it's time to schedule your Mercedes service in Houston. Never procrastinate your Mercedes' Service; whether it's routine or something more, hesitation is never a risk worth taking. Your high-performance, luxury Mercedes will provide miles and miles of driving delights and thrills as long as you are committed to careful, consistent care.
