What Are the Differences Between Mercedes-Benz Service A & B?

One of many unique things about driving a Mercedes-Benz is our approach to vehicle maintenance in Hampton. Instead of a confusing schedule, Mercedes-Benz offers service based on two intervals, called Service A and Service B. What are the differences between Mercedes-Benz Service A and B? The service center at Mercedes-Benz of Hampton has compiled a Mercedes-Benz Service A checklist and Mercedes-Benz Service B checklist for your reference to help you compare the two. Contact us today if you have any questions about when to have your Mercedes-Benz serviced! 

Mercedes-Benz Service A vs. Service B: Differences Explained

The time intervals between services is the primary difference between Mercedes-Benz Service A and Service B. Service A is scheduled roughly after the first year you’ve owned your Mercedes-Benz, while Service B is roughly two years after purchase. While both services are similar, Service B includes a few services that aren’t necessary as often. Certain CLA and GLA AMG® models also receive an engine air filter replacement during Service B. 

Mercedes-Benz Service A Checklist: What’s Included?

Generally, Williamsburg drivers will need to have Mercedes-Benz Service A* performed after one year or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. While the services performed might vary based on your car’s model year, the general Mercedes-Benz Service A checklist includes: 

• Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement*
• Oil Filter Replacement**
• All fluid levels checked and filled based on the factory’s recommended service intervals for your Mercedes-Benz year and model. 
• Tire pressure check and correction
• Brake inspection
• Maintenance counter reset
• Additional maintenance listed by model year and specific model as indicated by Mercedes-Benz Maintenance Systems in the USA. 

Don’t worry about remembering the specific services for your make and model year; your Mercedes-Benz certified technician will have that information! 

Mercedes-Benz Service B Checklist: What’s Included?

Once you’ve driven 20,000 miles or it’s been two years since you purchased your Mercedes-Benz, it’ll be time for Service B*. Your Mercedes-Benz Service B checklist is as follows:
