Mercedes Service in Hitchin, Hertfordshire.

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.

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.
