Mercedes B Service

Maintaining your Mercedes in top-notch condition requires consistent servicing; it’s non-negotiable.

Neglecting regular maintenance can not only diminish performance, safety and fuel efficiency,  it can cause minor issues to worsen, leaving you with a larger repair bill.

To help you keep your Mercedes in top working condition, Mercedes has created two tailored servicing plans:

• Mercedes A Service
• Mercedes B Service

At Garden City Garage, our team excels in servicing all Mercedes models. Whether you’ve got an A-Class, GLA, C-Class or other model, we can help. We always adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines for each procedure, from routine check-ups to intricate repairs. And we keep your Mercedes warranty intact.

As your local independent Mercedes experts, we can deliver dealership-level servicing for even better value.

Adhering to the recommended Mercedes A and B Service schedules ensures your car’s smooth operation and protects your warranty. Don’t ignore it.

Recently, a client approached us seeking a Mercedes B Service for their A-Class after being told that the main Mercedes dealership had a lengthy seven-week waiting time. As you can imagine, this is far from the ideal situation, especially if you’re concerned for the health of your Mercedes.

Luckily, a friend of theirs recommended our specialists at Garden City Garage, and they chose to visit us. 

At Garden City Garage, we don’t have ridiculous waiting times like the main Mercedes dealerships, allowing our specialists to get you back on the road much faster, without sacrificing quality.

Our team of Mercedes service experts, armed with extensive experience and specialised knowledge, can tackle any Mercedes issue thrown their way, whether you’ve got a DPF fault, a turbo issue or just need a routine service.

After completing the initial inspection of our customer’s A-Class, we confirmed the need for a Mercedes B Service. However, as we go beyond the standard maintenance practices, we perform a complimentary safety check on all vehicles, ensuring they’re in the best possible condition.

During the additional safety assessment for the A-Class, our experts found a critical problem that needed immediate attention for the customer’s safety.

The Difference Between Mercedes A Service and Mercedes B Service

If you’re puzzled about the distinctions between the Mercedes A and B Services, you’re in good company. Many of our clients ask the same question.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

The Mercedes A Service is recommended primarily for newer vehicles, typically after the first year or 10,000 miles (whichever milestone comes first), and then it’s required every two years afterwards.

Included in the Mercedes A Service are the following tasks:

• Replacing synthetic motor oil
• Swapping the oil filter
• Checking and adjusting tyre pressure
• Performing a brake inspection
• Resetting the maintenance counter

The Mercedes B Service targets slightly older vehicles or those with more miles on the clock. This service is intended to alternate with the A Service, usually every other year.

The Mercedes B Service includes everything the A Service does, with the addition of:

• Replacing the cabin dust/combination filter

Choosing Garden City Garage for your Mercedes servicing means receiving quality dealership-level servicing at superior value – a deal that’s hard to resist.
