The answer all depends on what year & model you have... Models older than model year 1998 are recommended every 7,500 miles. Starting in 1998, Mercedes-Benz introduced the "flexible service system" which uses certain driving parameters to determine when service is due. Services will be either "A" or "B". Services are at least 10,000 miles apart, unless it reaches 1 year from previous service. An indicator will appear on the instrument cluster when service is due. Later model years changed, but have the same basic premise. The engine oil should be changed with correct type only & done as part of a service that is recommended by Mercedes-Benz. From year 1998 on, only synthetic oil & proper filter which has been Mercedes-Benz specified should be all that is used. Failure to follow the recommended service interval & oil & filter type can have a disastrous effect on your Mercedes-Benz engine.
First off, let me say that I believe Mercedes-Benz has & continues to design & build the very best cars in the world. I follow their recommendations for service closely. Mercedes does recommend brake fluid renewal, coolant renewal & other services that are beneficial to keeping your car running as it was designed. I do not sell services that are outside of Mercedes-Benz recommendations such as "engine oil flush", "fuel induction service", "power steering flush", "A/C service", etc. Some repair shops, even Mercedes dealers, have decided that selling these services will make them lots of money. These services are outside of & some are even contradictory to what Mercedes-Benz specifies for your car. In some cases, these can even harm your car's expensive engine or other systems.
No, absolutely not! You may have your Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Mini services done at BenzTech without voiding the warranty. As long as your car is not modified, you may take anywhere for the correct service to be performed without voiding any warranty.
BenzTech is always going to be less than the dealer for service & repair on your Mercedes.Lower overhead, lower parts costs & a lower hourly rate mean savings of 30-50% over the dealer.
