A Simple Explanation of Mercedes-Benz Service A and Service B

Properly maintaining a luxury automobile is important to the vehicle’s health. If you are the owner of a Mercedes-Benz, we commend you for your good taste. However, your vehicle won’t perform and look its best unless essential ongoing maintenance is performed. In particular, most Mercedes-Benz automobiles are equipped with Service A and Service B alerts that every driver should be aware of.

The Basics of Service A and Service B

Service A and Service B alerts are occasional messages that appear on the dashboard, communicating the fact that the vehicle needs service. Every Mercedes-Benz driver should know there are substantive differences between Service A and Service B as covered below.

Service A represents routine maintenance necessary to keep an automobile functioning exactly as it should. To keep your Mercedes-Benz running optimally, it’s important to act on Service A and Service B alerts as they arise. There is no reason to be intimidated by Service A alerts, as they are indicators that notify automobile owners that the brakes need inspecting, fluids need to be topped off and tire issues must be addressed. In general, Service A should be performed at least once per year or every 10,000 miles.

?Service A appointments address each of the maintenance issues noted above. If you need additional service for your Mercedes-Benz automobile during your visit to our dealership, simply let our technician know and we’ll take care of it for you. Examples of maintenance and service provided during Service A appointments include brake component inspections, tire inflation checks/refills, oil and filter replacements, illumination inspection and more.

The Basics of Service B

Let’s shift our attention to Service B. Service B is comparably complex yet does not occur as frequently. It is best to think of Service B as a form of spring cleaning for a Mercedes Benz vehicle, ensuring it drives smoothly throughout all four seasons. It is especially important for those considering a road trip to have Service B performed prior to hitting the road. In general, Service B is recommended every couple years, or once every 20,000 miles. Service B is that much more customized as it entails everything under the umbrella of Service A yet also includes additional maintenance. Examples of Service B include tire rotations, a new key battery, a new air filter, new OEM wipers, computer diagnostics check of the vehicle system, and a fuel system additive. Our Service B additions also encompass a multi-point visual inspection along with vacuuming and hand-washing.
