When Are Service A and Service B Due?

Service A is first due at approximately 10,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Service B follows at approximately 20,000 miles or one year after the previous service. Each service then generally repeats every 20,000 miles or two years, alternating with the other.

Always follow your vehicle’s maintenance display and applicable maintenance booklet. Requirements vary by model, model year, and powertrain.

What Does Mercedes-Benz Service A Include?

• Engine oil and oil filter replacement.
• Checking and correcting fluid levels.
• Checking and adjusting tire inflation.
• Inspecting brake components.
• Resetting the maintenance counter.

What Does Mercedes-Benz Service B Include?

Service B includes the maintenance items listed above, plus:

• Cabin dust/combination filter replacement.
• Brake fluid exchange.

Are Additional Repairs Included?

An inspection and a replacement are different services. If an inspection identifies worn brake pads, damaged tires, or another concern, ask your service advisor to explain the recommended work and provide an estimate.

Do not assume that tire replacement, brake repairs, transmission service, or suspension repairs are included in a Service A or Service B quote. Ask for an itemized explanation of the scheduled maintenance and any additional work recommended for your vehicle.

Preparing for Your Service Appointment

Have your model year, current mileage, and dashboard service message available when scheduling. If previous maintenance was performed elsewhere, bring those records to help the service team review what has already been completed.

Describe any separate concerns, such as an unusual noise or warning message, when booking. This helps the advisor understand whether you also need diagnostic work.
