Maintaining Your 2024 Mercedes-Benz: Essential Services From Your Dealership

All 2024 Mercedes-Benz models deliver an exceptionally powerful, smooth, safe, and reliable ride. To keep your luxury vehicle in like-new condition and at peak performance levels for as long as possible, make sure you schedule the following maintenance services at your local Mercedes dealership.  

Keep Your Engine Healthy With Oil and Filter Changes

Find out the recommended oil change intervals for your particular Mercedes model and make sure you always refresh the oil before it degrades. If required, the technician can also replace the oil filter at the same time.

Stay Safe With Brakes Servicing 

The powerful brakes used in modern Mercedes vehicles can stop on a dime, but all brakes undergo an enormous amount of pressure and gradually wear down, especially if you regularly commute in urban traffic or drive along steep mountainous roads. To mitigate brake wear and tear, it’s advisable to have brakes serviced at least twice a year.

Keep Your Coolant Fresh and Your Engine Cool 

With engines as powerful as Mercedes engines, the cooling system needs to be functioning well at all times to prevent overheating. Along with having the radiator and other components inspected, the coolant needs to be periodically checked, topped up, or flushed and renewed.

Avoid Uneven Tires With Regular Rotation

Tires tend to wear down unevenly over time. Biannual tire rotation is the best way to keep your tires uniform in size and in good shape for longer. This saves on the cost of new tires as well. 

Protect Your Gearbox With Transmission Servicing

The transmissions inside modern Mercedes vehicles are almost as complex as the engines, if not more so. It’s essential to keep transmission fluid topped up and fresh and also to have the entire transmission serviced every few years. 

Keep Airflow Clean With Filter Replacements

A clogged air filter can restrict the engine’s inflow of oxygen, leading to a variety of engine problems. Most drivers should have their engine’s air filter replaced once a year or so. The cabin air filter also requires periodic replacements. 

Check Your Timing and Serpentine Belt

Both the timing and serpentine belt serve vital functions while you’re on the road. But heat and strain eventually take their toll on these two belts, so every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, they also need to be replaced. 

Test Your Battery’s Condition and Voltage

In addition to the engine’s spark plugs, the headlights and many other important features depend on the battery for a consistent flow of electricity. Most car batteries have a lifespan of four to five years; consider having your battery tested more frequently as it ages, and eventually replaced.
