Keeping Your Mercedes Healthy



Every Mercedes owner wants to avoid costly repair bills, but many don’t know how to do this.  The secret lies in the Mercedes’ heritage as a highly-engineered German vehicle: meticulous maintenance.  If you don’t want to pay for Mercedes repair Laguna Niguel service professionals are your best allies.  Here’s what you can do to keep your car running at its best for the longest amount of time.

  1. Keep Up Your Regular Maintenance Intervals

A Mercedes is designed to require service at regular intervals, and the type of service needed will alternate.  So, beginning at about 10,000 miles, your car will require first service A, and then (after about 10,000 more miles), service B.  These two services include oil changes, tire rotation, brake inspection, and filter replacements to keep your motor humming and your suspension smooth.

  1. Keep Your Vehicle Clean

It might seem like mostly an aesthetics issue, but keeping your car clean is good for more than just your ego.  Keeping dirt and road grime off your car can preserve the life of your paint, prevent scratches, and prevent road chemicals like salt solutions from causing rust and other damage.  Wash the outside of your car regularly, and be sure to hose around the wheels and undercarriage of the vehicle to remove any salt.  When cleaning the interior, remember that vacuuming regularly can preserve the life of the carpets, and application of leather conditioner or a protectant like Armorall to the seats can help to prevent UV damage.

  1. Make Sure Your Tires Are Properly Inflated

Whether out of carelessness or in an attempt to improve their mileage, many people either under- or over-inflate their tires.  This can not only be dangers (since over-inflated tires don’t grip the road as well as tires with the proper pressure).  Tires that a properly inflated, balanced, and rotated will improve your mileage as well as the handling of your vehicle, and they place less stress on other components of your car.
When trying to avoid repair bills and ensure the longevity of your Mercedes, common sense turns out to be the best way to go.  Keeping up with your maintenance schedule, keeping your vehicle clean, and being precise about your tires might seem like small things, but they can make a big difference in how your car functions.  If you need advice on how to do any of these, we have many years of experience caring for Mercedes and other elite European vehicles, and we’d be happy to help.
