Change Your Oil
Getting your motor oil and filter regularly changed is the best and most important way to keep your vehicle performing at the highest level for many miles to come. Your motor oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle, and routine oil changes are crucial to your vehicle functioning properly. The motor oil has three main jobs. The first is to keep the engine and the many moving components clean. It’s also responsible for keeping those moving components lubricated and cool. When you wait too long to have your oil changed, the dirt can clog the oil filter and cause thick motor oil that doesn’t flow as quickly to circulate your engine, which will cause wear and damage to your engine, while also causing overheating.
That’s why it’s important to follow the oil change schedule that’s outlined in your Mercedes-Benz vehicle’s owner’s manual. We offer fast, professional oil and filter changes on any vehicle, with your choice of a synthetic or conventional oil change to help keep your vehicle performing like it was engineered to for many miles ahead of you.
Check Your Tires
Your tires are what the performance of your vehicle rests on, as they provide the steering, acceleration, braking, and will also affect fuel economy. That’s why you should always check your tires, especially in the winter time, as colder weather can cause your tires to deflate slowly.
If you notice that the tread on your front tires is looking worn out, we invite you to get your tires rotated with us. Having your tires rotated regularly will allow your tires to wear down evenly, letting you keep using the same tires for longer. It will also improve your steering, braking, fuel economy, acceleration, and more.
Repair Your Brakes
The wintertime can cause a lot of stress on your braking system and its many components. When one component on the braking system goes, the rest are soon to follow. That’s why we encourage drivers to bring their vehicles in for brake repairs at the first sign that something is wrong. Usually on a braking system, the brake pads are the first component to be compromised, as they’re the first point of contact between your wheels and the braking system. If you hear a squeaking or squealing noise when you apply the brakes, that means that your brake pads need to be changed. We offer fast and convenient brake repairs on all Mercedes-Benz vehicles and can get your brake pads replaced in no time.
