Lubrication

Average Service Interval

5,000 miles or 6–12 months

Service Descriptions

Comprehensive Mercedes oil and filter change using MB-approved synthetic oil and filter. This service restores lubrication, protects timing chains and turbochargers, and ensures long-term engine health.

Mercedes engines (e.g. standard models, BlueTEC diesels, or AMG performance variants) operate under high loads and heat that quickly degrade oil. Routine oil service is critical to protect turbochargers, timing chains, and internal seals from wear, sludge buildup, and premature failure. Our technicians begin with an inspection of the oil pan, drain plug, and filter housing for leaks. We then drain the old oil, replace the OEM filter element, and clean the housing for a secure seal. Fresh Mercedes-approved synthetic oil (meeting MB 229.5 or 229.51 specifications as required) is filled to the exact capacity and viscosity for your engine. The drain plug and housing are torqued to specification, and the engine is warmed to confirm oil pressure and circulation. Finally, we reset the ASSYST service reminder in your Mercedes system and verify stable operating temperature and pressure. Performing this service every 5,000 miles or 6–12 months protects critical components, maintains efficiency, and extends the life of your Mercedes.

Brakes

Component

Brake Fluid

Average Service Interval

20,000 miles or 24 months

Service Descriptions

Mercedes brake fluid flush replaces old, moisture-contaminated fluid with MB-approved DOT 4 LV fluid. This service restores firm pedal feel, protects hydraulic components, and ensures safe braking performance.

Brake fluid in your Mercedes absorbs moisture over time, lowering its boiling point and increasing the risk of brake fade or internal corrosion. If neglected, this can lead to spongy pedal feel, reduced stopping power, or costly ABS/ESP system repairs. During this service, we flush the entire hydraulic system, removing old fluid and replacing it with Mercedes-approved DOT 4 LV brake fluid to meet factory specifications. Our technicians bleed the brakes using STAR diagnostic-assisted procedures to ensure even pressure distribution across all wheels. We also inspect brake lines, hoses, and calipers for leaks or wear, then road test the vehicle to confirm safe operation. Regular brake fluid service every 20,000 miles or 2 years keeps your braking system responsive and reliable.

Component

Air Filter

Average Service Interval

15,000–30,000 miles or 12–24 months

Service Descriptions

Mercedes engine air filter replacement ensures clean airflow for efficient combustion. Our technicians install OEM-approved filters, inspect the airbox, and check for debris to maintain smooth performance and protect your engine.

The engine air filter in your Mercedes prevents dust, dirt, and debris from entering the intake system. Over time, filters become clogged, restricting airflow and reducing fuel economy, throttle response, and engine performance. In severe driving conditions such as heavy traffic, dusty roads, or hot climates, air filters clog faster and require more frequent replacement. During this service, our technicians replace the air filter with a Mercedes-approved component, inspect the housing for leaks or damage, and document the condition of the old filter. This simple but essential maintenance improves efficiency, safeguards internal engine parts, and helps your Mercedes deliver the smooth, refined power it was engineered for.

System

Component

Cabin Air Filter

Average Service Interval

15,000–20,000 miles or 12–24 months

Service Descriptions

Mercedes cabin air filter replacement improves interior air quality and HVAC performance by installing OEM-approved filters. Our technicians inspect the filter housing and ensure proper airflow for clean, comfortable driving.

The cabin air filter in your Mercedes traps dust, pollen, and pollutants before they enter the HVAC system. Over time, the filter becomes clogged, reducing airflow, straining the blower motor, and allowing unpleasant odors into the cabin. In dusty or urban environments, filters clog faster and require more frequent replacement. During this service, our technicians replace the cabin filter with a Mercedes-approved filter, inspect the housing for leaks or debris, and check HVAC performance. This simple service improves air quality, reduces allergens, prevents HVAC strain, and keeps your Mercedes interior fresh and comfortable.

System

Transmission

Component

Fluid & Filter

Average Service Interval

40,000–60,000 miles or 48–72 months

Service Descriptions

Mercedes transmission fluid & filter service maintains smooth shifting and gearbox longevity. Our technicians use MB-approved fluid and filters, perform STAR diagnostic adaptations, and road test to confirm proper operation.

The transmission in your Mercedes (e.g. 7G-Tronic, 9G-Tronic, or AMG performance variant) relies on clean fluid for lubrication, cooling, and smooth gear changes. Over time, heat and friction break down fluid, and the filter becomes clogged with debris. If neglected, this can cause harsh shifting, delayed engagement, or costly valve body and clutch damage. During this service, we drain the old fluid, replace the transmission filter and pan gasket, and refill with MB-approved fluid. Using STAR diagnostics, we confirm fluid level adaptations and reset service reminders. Finally, we road test your Mercedes to verify smooth operation. This service restores shifting quality, protects internal components, and extends transmission life.

System

Drivetrain

Component

Rear Differential

Average Service Interval

60,000–80,000 miles or 60–96 months

Service Descriptions

Mercedes rear differential fluid service preserves smooth power delivery and driveline reliability by replacing old fluid with OEM-approved gear oil. Our technicians inspect seals, check for leaks, and confirm proper operation of the rear axle assembly.

The rear differential in your Mercedes distributes torque to the rear wheels and is critical for handling, acceleration, and quiet operation. Over time, fluid degrades from heat and load, losing its ability to protect gears and bearings. Neglecting service can cause whining noises, vibration, or costly driveline damage. During this service, we drain and replace the fluid with Mercedes-approved gear oil (meeting MB specification), inspect the housing and seals, and verify smooth operation with a road test. This preventive maintenance protects the rear axle, extends component life, and preserves the refined driving feel your Mercedes is known for.

System

Front Differential

Average Service Interval

60,000–80,000 miles or 60–96 months

Service Descriptions

Mercedes front differential fluid service maintains the smooth, quiet function of your 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. Our technicians replace worn fluid with OEM-approved gear oil, inspect for leaks, and confirm proper performance of the front axle assembly.

The front differential in your Mercedes works in tandem with the transfer case and rear differential to deliver seamless 4MATIC all-wheel-drive performance. Over time, the differential fluid breaks down from heat and load, losing its ability to lubricate gears and bearings. If neglected, owners may notice whining noises, vibration, or premature component wear. During this service, we drain the degraded fluid, refill with Mercedes-approved gear oil (meeting MB specifications), inspect the housing and seals, and verify operation with a driveline check. This preventive maintenance helps protect gears, extend differential life, and preserve the luxury driving experience Mercedes is known for.

Component

Transfer Case

Average Service Interval

60,000–80,000 miles or 60–96 months

Service Descriptions

Mercedes transfer case fluid service preserves smooth 4MATIC operation by replacing worn fluid with OEM-approved oil. Our technicians also inspect seals, check for leaks, and confirm proper torque distribution between the front and rear differentials.

The transfer case is central to your Mercedes 4MATIC system, routing power between the front and rear axles. Its fluid endures heat, friction, and mechanical stress, which causes it to lose lubrication and protective qualities over time. Neglecting service can lead to shuddering, vibration, or even transfer case failure. During this service, we drain the old fluid, refill with Mercedes-approved transfer case fluid (meeting MB specification), and inspect seals and housing for leaks. We also verify proper torque distribution with a driveline check and document the fluid’s condition. This maintenance prevents costly repairs, protects AWD performance, and extends the life of your Mercedes’ drivetrain.

System

Cooling

Component

Coolant

Average Service Interval

60,000–80,000 miles or 48–60 months

Service Descriptions

Mercedes coolant service protects your engine from overheating and corrosion by flushing old coolant and refilling with MB-approved antifreeze. Our technicians inspect hoses, radiator, and water pump, and pressure-test the system to ensure long-term reliability.

The cooling system in your Mercedes regulates engine temperature and prevents costly damage to vital components. Over time, coolant breaks down and loses its ability to protect against scale, corrosion, and heat. If neglected, you may experience overheating, coolant leaks, or premature failure of the water pump or head gasket. During this service, we completely drain the old coolant, flush the system, and refill with Mercedes-approved coolant that meets MB specifications. Our technicians also inspect the radiator, hoses, thermostat housing, and water pump for leaks or wear. Finally, we pressure-test the system and reset your ASSYST reminder if applicable. This service ensures efficient cooling, prevents expensive repairs, and keeps your Mercedes performing at its best.

System

HVAC

Component

Air Conditioning

Average Service Interval

Service Descriptions

Restore cold, consistent air in your Mercedes with an inspect-first A/C Service. We performance-test the system, check for leaks, and only recover and recharge if tests show it is needed. Results are documented with pressures, vent temperatures, and photos.

Modern Mercedes A/C systems do not require routine recharge on a fixed schedule. Our service begins with a performance test measuring vent temperature and system pressures. If results are abnormal, we perform a visual or dye-assisted leak inspection. If charge is low, we recover, vacuum hold test, and recharge to the exact Mercedes factory capacity (R-1234yf or R-134a depending on model). We also verify condenser fan operation, compressor control, blend door movement, and cabin filter condition. In hot climates, with frequent idling, or in heavy urban traffic, inspections may be recommended more often, but recharging is only performed when test results show it is necessary. A full digital report with photos and test results is provided for transparency.

Component

Drive Belt & Tensioner

Average Service Interval

60,000–80,000 miles or 72–96 months

Service Descriptions

Mercedes drive belt and tensioner replacement ensures reliable operation of key engine accessories like the alternator, water pump, and A/C compressor. Our technicians install OEM-spec belts and tensioners, inspect pulleys, and confirm proper alignment for dependable performance.

The drive belt system in your Mercedes powers critical components, including the alternator, water pump, power steering, and A/C compressor. Over time, belts can crack, stretch, or glaze, and tensioners can weaken or seize. If ignored, this may lead to squealing noises, accessory failure, or sudden belt breakage, which can leave you stranded. During this service, we remove the worn belt and tensioner, replace them with Mercedes-approved parts, and inspect pulleys and bearings for wear. We also verify proper tension and alignment for smooth operation. This preventive maintenance helps protect engine accessories, prevents breakdowns, and preserves the refined driving experience of your Mercedes.

Timing Belt

Average Service Interval

60,000–100,000 miles or 72–120 months

Service Descriptions

Mercedes timing belt replacement prevents catastrophic engine damage by replacing the belt and related components with OEM-approved parts. Our technicians also inspect pulleys, tensioners, and water pump to ensure long-term reliability.

While most modern Mercedes engines use timing chains, certain older diesel and select models rely on a timing belt to synchronize the crankshaft and camshaft. Over time, belts crack, stretch, or lose tension, and failure can result in bent valves, piston damage, or complete engine failure. During this service, our technicians replace the belt with a Mercedes-approved component, inspect and often replace the tensioner, idler pulleys, and water pump, and verify timing alignment. We also document the condition of the old belt and reset service reminders where applicable. This essential service protects your engine, preserves performance, and prevents catastrophic failures.

System

Ignition

Component

Spark Plugs

Average Service Interval

30,000–60,000 miles or 36–72 months

Service Descriptions

Mercedes spark plug replacement restores efficient combustion, smooth acceleration, and reliable starting. Our technicians install OEM-specified plugs, inspect ignition coils, and reset ASSYST reminders to maintain engine performance.

Spark plugs are essential for igniting the air-fuel mixture in your Mercedes engine. Over time, electrodes wear down, gaps widen, and deposits build up, leading to misfires, poor fuel economy, rough idle, and reduced performance. Turbocharged and AMG engines often require earlier replacement due to higher combustion demands. During this service, we install Mercedes-approved spark plugs, inspect ignition coils for wear, and confirm smooth running with STAR diagnostic checks. We also reset your ASSYST service system and provide a detailed service report. Replacing spark plugs on schedule ensures efficient combustion, protects catalytic converters, and helps your Mercedes deliver the refined performance it was engineered for.

System

Ignition

Component

Ignition Coils

Average Service Interval

60,000–90,000 miles or 72–120 months

Service Descriptions

Mercedes ignition coil replacement restores strong spark and prevents misfires by installing OEM-approved coils. Our technicians also inspect spark plugs, clear STAR diagnostic fault codes, and confirm smooth engine performance.

Ignition coils in your Mercedes transform battery voltage into the high energy required to fire spark plugs. Over time, coils can weaken or fail, leading to misfires, rough idle, reduced fuel economy, and loss of power. Turbocharged and AMG models often stress coils more heavily, resulting in earlier replacement needs. During this service, our technicians replace coils with Mercedes-approved parts, inspect spark plugs, and run a STAR diagnostic scan to verify ignition health. We document coil condition, reset service reminders if applicable, and road test the vehicle. Replacing coils as needed protects your catalytic converters, restores performance, and ensures your Mercedes runs smoothly and reliably.

Vehicle System

When your Mercedes reaches its recommended engine service interval, Bavarian Auto Repair delivers a meticulous maintenance routine designed to preserve power and longevity. We begin by draining and replacing the engine oil with the exact synthetic grade specified by Mercedes-Benz and fitting a new OEM oil filter. Our technicians then inspect spark plugs and ignition coils for wear, swap the air and fuel filters to ensure optimal airflow and combustion, and examine belts and hoses for cracks or looseness. Valve clearances and timing-chain tension are measured against factory benchmarks, and we use infrared thermal imaging to confirm even heat distribution across the engine. After topping off all fluids (coolant, power steering, transmission and brake) to manufacturer levels, we perform a final road-test to verify smooth idle, crisp throttle response, and leak-free operation. You’ll receive clear before-and-after photos, a concise service summary, and an upfront estimate so you always know exactly what was done. With genuine Mercedes-Benz parts, precise torque applications, and decades of Mercedes expertise, we keep your engine running like the day it left the factory without any dealer markup.
