What are the Differences Between Service A and B?

Mercedes Benz Logo Closeup

Mercedes-Benz Service A* and Mercedes-Benz Service B* are auto maintenance checklists that are designed to catch problems early and keep your car running smoothly in Mclean. Based on manufacturer-recommended service intervals for your make and model year, the Mercedes-Benz Service A checklist is your car’s first comprehensive “check-up” with certified Mercedes-Benz technicians. In the guide below, we’ll take a closer look at what’s included with Mercedes-Benz Service B, pricing, and more.

What’s Included on the Mercedes-Benz Service A Checklist?

You’re due for services on the Mercedes-Benz Service A checklist after owning your car for one year or reaching 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Service A and Service B intervals are based on Mercedes-Benz recommended service schedules for your vehicle’s year and model, but you can expect the following to be included with Mercedes-Benz Service A:

  • 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 Included on the Mercedes-Benz Service B Checklist?

When you reach two years of ownership or 20,000 miles — whichever comes first — your vehicle is due for the services on the Mercedes-Benz Service B checklist. Mercedes-Benz Service B builds on Mercedes-Benz Service A with a focus on deep cleaning and fluid replacement:

  • 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.

Brake fluid replacement and cabin air filter replacement are two of the items that distinguish Service B from Service A. Keep in mind that additional items may be required depending on the model and model year of your vehicle.

What’s the Difference Between Mercedes-Benz Service A and Service B?

The Mercedes-Benz Service A checklist and Mercedes-Benz Service B checklist are both designed to reflect your vehicle’s manufacturer-recommended maintenance intervals. When it comes to auto maintenance, timing is key. Keeping up with recommended service intervals is the single most effective way to catch small issues before they can become big repair bills. For many Mclean drivers, the upfront Mercedes-Benz Service A cost^ translates to lower repair costs down the road. How do the Service A and Mercedes-Benz Service B costs compare? You can expect the Mercedes-Benz Service B cost^ to be higher than Service A, because your vehicle will receive additional services and is more likely to require adjustments.
