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

Mercedes Benz Service Maintenance in Dealership
 

For those looking into servicing their Mercedes-Benz vehicles, there’s two intervals you have to consider, Mercedes-Benz Service A and Mercedes-Benz Service B. When looking into these, some might be wondering about the Mercedes-Benz Service A cost and Mercedes-Benz Service B cost. In fact, many Katy and Woodlands drivers learn about this when they receive a notification that they’re due for one of these. 

So what do these two options entail and what about the Mercedes-Benz Service A Checklist? Or the Mercedes-Benz Service B Checklist? Read on to learn more from Star Motor Cars and schedule service by calling (713) 868-6800 or online.

What’s The Mercedes-Benz Service A Checklist? 

So what does the Mercedes-Benz Service A checklist entail? Mercedes-Benz Service A* is performed after one year or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, these services can vary depending on the model year. Service A 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.
  • 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.

What’s The Mercedes-Benz Service B Checklist? 

So where does the Mercedes-Benz Service B checklist entail? The Mercedes-Benz Service B* is performed at 2 years or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first. During any Service B, the following are carried out by your certified technician:

  • 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.

Service A vs. Service B Intervals: How Do They Differ? 

One of the most common questions we get asked from Woodlands and Houston customers is what’s the difference between Mercedes-Benz Service A and Mercedes-Benz Service B. That has to do with time intervals. It’s recommended that Service A occurs after 1 year or 10,000 miles, whichever you reach first. In contrast, Service B is recommended after 2 years or 20,000 miles

In terms of the actual service, both A and B are largely the same. Service B however requires a brake fluid replacement and cabin air filter replacement. Certain Mercedes-Benz CLA and GLA AMG® models may also receive an engine air filter replacement during any Service B support.
