Mercedes Service FAQs

How often do Mercedes need servicing?

Mercedes’ service schedules generally recommend that most models should be serviced at intervals of 10,000 miles, alternating between a ‘minor’ and ‘major’ service each time. Further information on your Mercedes model’s exact servicing schedule can be found on the Mercedes website – but can be followed by any independent garage.

As a standard, Bosch Auto service recommends an interim, or ‘bronze’ service be performed every 5000 to 7000 miles in order to ensure the roadworthiness of your Mercedes between full or ‘gold’ services. Regularly servicing your Mercedes will help keep it safe, reduce repair costs, and ensure it is performing at its best. Book your Mercedes service with us online here.

Will servicing my Mercedes with an independent garage invalidate my warranty?

Servicing your Mercedes with an independent garage or dealer will not invalidate its warranty – so long as certain conditions are met. Though dealerships often state that vehicles must be serviced at Mercedes dealership locations in order to retain their warranties, EU ‘block exemption’ laws state that vehicle owners may have their vehicle serviced by an independent garage or dealership without invalidating their warranty - the manufacturer’s recommended schedule is followed, and only manufacturer-approved or equivalent quality parts are installed. Independent garages, such as Auto Service & Tuning Centre, are able to access Mercedes’ servicing schedules, invest in advanced diagnostic equipment on-par with that used in dealerships, and source genuine, or equivalent quality parts, whilst offering servicing at an accessible price point.

Auto Service & Tuning Centre guarantees our use of quality or manufacturer-approved parts and recommended schedules in our Mercedes services. Book with us today.

What is included in a full Mercedes service?

A full Mercedes service generally covers a set of extensive engine and vehicular checks and adjustments, alongside the replacement of parts with a set short shelf life. Auto Service & Tuning Centre’s Bosch accredited gold services offer a high quality, cost-effective solution to Mercedes owners looking to undergo a major service. Covering 53 service tasks and checks, this extensive assessment and maintenance procedure includes a full engine check, oil change, air filter replacement and spark plug replacement where necessary.

During a full or ‘gold’ Mercedes service, our highly trained technicians combine their technical expertise, extensive knowledge of Mercedes’ servicing schedules, and our advanced diagnostic equipment to ensure your vehicle is in optimum condition. All servicing completed by us allows for warranty retention where applicable.

Do I have to get my Mercedes serviced at Mercedes?

Recently introduced EU ‘block exemption’ regulation allows independent garages and dealerships to complete servicing for all vehicle models, including Mercedes, without invalidating their warranty (so long as the manufacturer’s servicing schedule is followed, and equivalent quality parts are used where replacement is required. This means you are able to service your Mercedes any reputable garage you’d like.

This, alongside our use of only quality and manufacturer-approved parts, ensures all services performed at Auto Service & Tuning Centre are in line with Mercedes’ warranty retention requirements.

How long does a Mercedes service take?

The length of your Mercedes service generally depends on the type of service required. On average, a Mercedes service with Auto Service & Tuning Centre takes on around 3 hours and will be completed by a team of specialist technicians and mechanics, who will inspect between 31 and 53 different aspects of the vehicle, replacing specified parts where necessary. The number of parts checked is dependent on the service type required.
If any issues arise during the service out with planned part replacements, our team will explain in depth the reasons for replacement and associated costs, allowing the vehicle owner to make an informed decision before proceeding.
