What Sets Our Service Center Apart

Mercedes-Benz Service A and Service B

Mercedes-Benz uses an alternating schedule of Service A and Service B. Your vehicle’s Flexible Service System (ASSYST Plus) signals when each visit is due. It tracks mileage, time, and driving conditions. Service A comes first, at about 1 year or 10,000 miles. Service B follows at about 2 years or 20,000 miles. The two then alternate over the life of the vehicle. Required services and intervals vary by model and model year, so check your maintenance booklet for specifics.

Service A — about 1 year / 10,000 miles

• Synthetic motor oil and oil filter replacement
• All fluid level checks and corrections
• Tire inflation check and correction
• Brake component inspection
• Reset of the maintenance counter

Service B — about 2 years / 20,000 miles

• Everything included in Service A
• Cabin / combination filter replacement
• Complete brake fluid exchange

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I service my Mercedes-Benz myself or at an independent shop without voiding the warranty?

Yes. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 2301–2312), a manufacturer or dealer cannot void your warranty simply because routine maintenance or repairs were performed by you or an independent shop, provided the work uses parts and fluids meeting factory specifications and you keep detailed service records. If a warranty claim arises without documented proof of proper maintenance, that specific claim may be denied.

This information is provided for general educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Warranty coverage depends on the specific terms of your vehicle’s warranty agreement. Consult your owner’s manual or a qualified legal professional for guidance on your individual situation.

What maintenance does an all-electric Mercedes-Benz need?

Electric Mercedes-Benz models skip engine oil changes and spark plugs, but still follow a scheduled routine. Expect a cabin (combination) filter replacement, a brake fluid exchange, and a multi-point inspection roughly every two years, plus tire rotations and checks of the high-voltage battery cooling and regenerative braking systems. Your vehicle’s service reminder fine-tunes the timing, and your maintenance booklet lists the items specific to your model.

How often do the spark plugs need to be replaced?

It depends on your engine. Most gasoline Mercedes-Benz models call for spark plug replacement somewhere in the range of about 40,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on the model and plug type, with high-performance AMG engines often sooner. Check your owner’s manual, or ask our service advisors to confirm the interval for your specific model.
