What is A Service and B Service?
Mercedes-Benz Maintenance Schedules: Keeping Fresno Drivers on Track
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure your Mercedes-Benz performs at its peak. To simplify the process, Mercedes-Benz vehicles from model year 2009 and newer follow two primary maintenance schedules: Service A and Service B. These services alternate to keep your vehicle running smoothly, whether you’re navigating Fresno’s bustling streets or cruising along Highway 41.
Service A: 10,000-Mile Maintenance Schedule*
The first Service A appointment is recommended at approximately 10,000 miles or 1 year. Subsequent visits occur at every 20,000 miles or 2 years, ensuring consistent care for your Mercedes-Benz.
Here’s what’s included in Service A:
- Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement: Keeping your engine lubricated and efficient.
- Oil Filter Replacement: Ensuring clean oil flows through your engine.
- Fluid Checks and Corrections: All fluid levels are checked and adjusted based on factory specifications for your vehicle’s year and model.
- Tire Inflation Check and Correction: Maintaining proper tire pressure for safety and fuel efficiency.
- Brake Component Inspection: Checking your brakes to ensure optimal performance.

Every Service A is tailored to your vehicle’s specific model and production year. Our certified technicians use Mercedes-Benz-approved service sheets to ensure precision and care.
