Mercedes-Benz Service A vs. Service B

Keeping your Mercedes-Benz vehicle up to date on its regularly-scheduled service is essential to making sure it runs in top condition on the Providence roads. There are two forms of regular maintenance that your vehicle will most often undergo: Service A and Service B. If you’re confused on what each of these services entails, don’t worry—the service team at Mercedes-Benz of Warwick has everything you need to know! Read on for all the details on Mercedes-Benz Service A and Mercedes-Benz Service B.

Mercedes-Benz Service A Checklist

Mercedes-Benz Service A is the first significant piece of maintenance that your Mercedes-Benz vehicle will receive. It’s performed after one year or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Although specifics vary, the Mercedes-Benz Service A cost usually starts at around $250. Here’s the full Mercedes-Benz Service A checklist of services and inspections:

After two years or 20,000 miles, your Mercedes-Benz will receive Service B maintenance.

Service B also includes a few more services, such as brake fluid replacement and cabin air replacement.
