Taking care of your luxury vehicle means knowing when to take it in for scheduled Mercedes-Benz service. The first required service for your vehicle is Mercedes-Benz Service A, which is due around 10,000 miles or one year after purchase, although this may vary slightly depending on the specific model and the way you drive your car. Either way, there’s no need to worry about keeping track, as the Flexible Service System will let you know when it’s time to bring it in! Here’s what’s included with the A Service:

• Synthetic motor oil replacement
• Oil filter replacement
• All fluid level checks and corrections dependent on factory-recommended service intervals for your vehicle’s year and model
• Tire inflation check and correction
• Brake component inspection
• Reset maintenance counter

Around one year after your first A Service appointment, so approximately two years since your purchase or at 20,000 miles (whichever comes first), it will then be time to bring your vehicle in for Mercedes-Benz Service B to ensure your vehicle is running as smoothly. Again, you’ll know when it’s time because the Flexible Service System will issue you a reminder. The regular interval for these appointments continues around every two years or 20,000 miles and, as you’ll see, also includes all of the above work done as a part of the A service. As a part of your B Service, here is the work that will be performed:

• Synthetic motor oil replacement
• Oil filter replacement
• Cabin dust/combination filter replacement
• Brake fluid exchange
• All fluid level checks and corrections dependent on factory-recommended service intervals for your vehicle’s year and model
• Tire inflation check and correction
• Brake component inspection
• Reset maintenance counter
• Adherence to all required elements listed by model year and specific model as indicated on the corresponding service sheet for Mercedes-Benz Maintenance Systems in the USA.
