Mercedes-Benz Service B in Fremont, CA
Mercedes vehicles offer comfort and experience that are truly unique to the Mercedes brand. To maintain that experience year after year, Mercedes offers a structured maintenance schedule known as Service A and Service B. While Service A is the first step, Service B is a more comprehensive check that plays a critical role in ensuring your vehicle remains in peak condition.
What is Mercedes Service B?
Typically due around the 20,000-mile mark or about one year after the first Service A (and every two years thereafter), Service B is a deeper inspection and maintenance program. It's designed to address both the visible and hidden needs of your vehicle, preventing small issues from growing into costly repairs.
The standard Service B checklist includes several critical elements. Our technicians will perform a full synthetic motor oil change using oil that meets Mercedes' standards. They will also replace the oil filter with a genuine Mercedes-Benz part. A crucial element of Service B is the brake inspection. Not only is brake fluid replaced (which is essential for safe and responsive braking), but the entire brake system is examined for wear or damage.
Beyond fluids and brakes, Service B also covers tire pressure and tire condition checks, suspension systems check, as well as a check of steering components. Electronic diagnostics (using professional-grade digital diagnostic tools) ensure there are no hidden faults, while cabin filters are replaced to maintain optimal air quality inside the vehicle. The full list of maintenance items and inspections will vary depending on the Mercedes model you drive (year of production and configuration can also influence what checks are performed).
Why is Service B Important?
Unlike generic oil changes or routine inspections, Mercedes Service B is precisely calibrated for the needs of your specific model and engine type. Our technicians use specialized tools and follow detailed procedures outlined by the manufacturer. This attention to detail protects your investment and not only keeps your car running smoothly, but helps uphold your vehicle’s value.
Following the official Mercedes maintenance schedule, including Service B, helps ensure that the original manufacturer warranty remains valid.
