What are Mercedes-Benz Service A and Service B?
When it comes to service for your Mercedes-Benz, North Canton drivers will often hear mention of two different service types: Mercedes-Benz Service A, and Mercedes-Benz Service B. Perhaps you were notified via your driver information center that you are due for one of these, but what are they exactly? What separates one from the other, and what do they cover? Mercedes-Benz of Canton has all the answers about these two types of Mercedes-Benz service tasks, and you can learn more about them below!
What is the Mercedes-Benz Service A Checklist?
Mercedes-Benz Service A* is performed after the first year, or first 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Although the exact services performed may vary depending on the model year of your vehicle, in general, the Mercedes-Benz Service A checklist of service tasks includes:
- Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement**
- Oil Filter Replacement**
- All fluid level checks and corrections are dependent on factory-recommended service intervals for your vehicle’s year and model
- Tire inflation check and correction
- Brake component inspection
- Reset maintenance counter
- Adhere to all required elements listed by model year and specific model as indicated on the corresponding service sheet for Mercedes-Benz Maintenance Systems in the USA.
You might also be wondering what is the Mercedes-Benz Service A cost^ for Massillon drivers, the answer is it can vary a little. Generally speaking Mercedes-Benz Service A costs^ begin at around $250, but you should always speak to one of our service team members so that you can get an accurate estimate.
What About the Mercedes-Benz Service B Checklist?
Mercedes-Benz Service B* is performed similarly after the first 2 years, or the first 20,000 miles of your vehicle, whichever comes first. You’ll find that the Mercedes-Benz Service B checklist includes the following:
- Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement**
- Oil Filter Replacement**
- All fluid level checks and corrections are dependent on factory-recommended service intervals for your vehicle’s year and model
- Tire inflation check and correction
- Brake component inspection
- Reset maintenance counter
- Cabin dust/combination filter replacement
- Brake fluid exchange
- Adhere to all required elements listed by model year and specific model as indicated on the corresponding service sheet for Mercedes-Benz Maintenance Systems in the USA.
Like the Mercedes-Benz Service A, you may be curious about the Mercedes-Benz Service B costs^. Mercedes-Benz Service B costs^ will typically range from just under $600 to a little over $900, but exact prices may be provided by our trained service department.
What Separates the Mercedes-Benz Service A and Service B?
One of the largest differences between Service A and Service B is the time intervals. When it comes time, Service A is suggested after the first year or 10,000 miles, while Service B is recommended after 2 years or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first. When it comes down to the checklists, the Mercedes-Benz Service A checklist is largely the same as the Mercedes-Benz Service B checklist, however, during Service B your vehicle will receive a brake fluid replacement, as well as an air filter replacement.
Another difference again lies in the cost. Mercedes-Benz Service A costs^ will usually start at $250, whereas the Mercedes-Benz Service B costs^ will range between roughly $600 to $900.
