Mercedes-Benz Automatic Transmission Fluid Change

Automatic transmission fluid becomes heat fatigued and accumulates moisture over time which can lead to automatic transmission damage if not serviced regularly. It should be replaced every 2 years or 30,000 miles.

Mercedes-Benz Automatic Transmission Fluid/Filter Change

Automatic transmission fluid becomes heat fatigued and accumulates moisture over time which can lead to automatic transmission damage if not serviced regularly. The filter should be replaced at this time a well. This service should be performed every 2 years or 30,000 miles.

Mercedes-Benz Brake Fluid Replacement/Flush

Brake fluid accumulates moisture and contamination from component wear over time and unless replaced every 30,000 miles or 2 years, can cause brake system damage.

Mercedes-Benz Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Over time the Cabin Filter(s) will accumulate dirt, pollen and debris which can leak in to the passenger compartment if left unchecked. They should be replaced every year or 15,000 miles.

Mercedes-Benz Coolant Replacement/Flush

Engine coolant breaks down, gets rusty and becomes contaminated with debris from component wear over time and can cause engine or cooling system damage if not replaced every 2 years or 30,0000 miles.

Mercedes-Benz Differential Fluid Replacement - Front

Differential fluid breaks down and becomes contaminated with moisture over time and can lead to differential damage from a lack of proper lubrication. It should be replaced every 2 years or 30,000 miles.

Mercedes-Benz Differential Fluid Replacement - Rear

Differential fluid breaks down and becomes contaminated with moisture over time and can lead to differential damage from a lack of proper lubrication. It should be replaced every 2 years or 30,000 miles.

Mercedes-Benz Drive Belt(s) Replacement

Drive belts crack and become glazed over time and can squeak or even break. They should be replaced every 45,000 miles.

Mercedes-Benz Fuel Filter Change

The Fuel Filter becomes restricted as it accumulates debris from filtering the fuel which, can lead to performance problems and early fuel pump failure. It should be replaced at the mileage interval recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

Mercedes-Benz Rotate Tires

It is important to rotate the tires from front to rear every 5000-7500 miles so that they wear evenly. This may not be possible on some vehicles because of directional tread design or rim size differences.

Mercedes-Benz Scheduled Maintenance Parts

In order to run, the engine needs a precise mixture of fuel and air. When outside air is drawn into the engine, the air filter prevents harmful dirt and debris from entering the system.

Brake fluid is a specially formulated fluid that transmits the pressure generated by the master cylinder to the calipers and/or wheel cylinders when the brake pedal is pressed. 
The cabin air filter prevents dust, pollen, and other debris from entering the passenger compartment through the climate control (HVAC) system.
Coolant is the fluid that flows through the engine’s cooling system. Its main purpose is to transfer heat generated by the engine to the radiator so the engine doesn’t overheat.
Diesel engine oil provides internal engine lubrication for Diesel engines. It is specially formulated to meet the higher load demands common to Diesel engines.
The Diesel oil filter removes contaminants from the engine oil before it circulates throughout the engine. Diesel oil filters are commonly larger than their gas engine counterparts because of the increased contaminates generated by a Diesel engine.
Engine oil provides lubrication for all internal moving parts of an engine. It also helps conduct heat away from these components.
The fuel filter removes contaminants from the fuel, which helps prevent damage to the fuel system components.
The oil drain plug gasket seals the oil drain plug where it connects to the oil pan.
The engine oil filter removes contaminants from the engine oil before it circulates throughout the engine.
The spark plug uses the energy produced by the ignition coil to generate the spark necessary to ignite the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
