FAQ About Car Scheduled Maintenance

How often should I get an oil change?

For conventional oil, we typically recommend changes every 3,000-5,000 miles. For synthetic oil, intervals can extend to 7,500-10,000 miles. However, your specific interval depends on your vehicle make, model, age, and driving conditions. Our ASE Certified Master Mechanics will recommend the optimal schedule for your specific vehicle.

What’s the difference between Mercedes A service and B service?

Mercedes A Service is the basic maintenance package typically performed every 10,000 miles or annually. It includes oil change, fluid checks, and basic inspections. Mercedes B service is more comprehensive, performed every 20,000 miles, and includes additional fluid changes, filter replacements, and more extensive inspections. Our team specializes in Mercedes maintenance service requirements.

When should I replace my timing belt or timing chain?

Timing belt replacement is typically recommended every 60,000-100,000 miles, depending on the manufacturer. Timing chains generally last longer but may eventually require replacement of timing chain gears, timing sprockets, and timing guides. We follow manufacturer recommendations and inspect these components during regular service.

How do I know if my water pump needs replacement?

Signs of a failing water pump include coolant leaks, engine overheating, strange noises from the front of the engine, or steam from under the hood. Preventative vehicle water pump replacement is often recommended when replacing the timing belt, as these components are typically accessed together.

Should I get maintenance done at the dealership to maintain my warranty?

No, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act protects your right to have maintenance and repairs performed by any qualified shop without affecting your warranty. Our ASE Certified Master Mechanics follow all manufacturer specifications, and we provide comprehensive 12-month/12,000-mile warranty coverage on all services.
