The right Mercedes-Benz service at the right times is vital for keeping your vehicle in outstanding condition. These are the tasks that will help keep your car running just as it should.
Fluid Check
Because so many systems in your vehicle rely on fluids – including the power steering and transmission – these should be checked every few months. If any are running low, they then need to be topped off:
- Oil
- Brake fluid
- Coolant
- Power steering
- Transmission fluid
- Windshield wiper wash
Tire Pressure Check
Checking the pressure in your tires is also something that should be done every two or three months. This can change based on the weather, so frequent monitoring is important.
Oil Change
No matter how many miles you put on your car, the oil should be changed about every six months. This ensures that your engine always gets clean and fresh oil, which lets it run as efficiently as possible.
Tire Rotation
While you’re getting the oil changed, strongly consider having your tires rotated. When you do this, it allows them to wear down more evenly, which extends their lifespan. It also improves their performance.
Battery Test
Your battery should be tested at least every year to ensure proper function. A battery lasts about five years or so. Having it tested will let you be proactive so you can replace it if necessary.
Brake Inspection
Your braking system experiences a lot of wear and tear, so it too should also be looked at closely at least on a yearly basis. This will let you know about the condition of things like the shoes and pads.
If your vehicle needs any of these tasks, just make an appointment with the service center at Mercedes-Benz of Silver Spring.
