Maintaining your B Mercedes Benz is essential for ensuring its optimal performance, safety, and longevity. Since 2009, Mercedes-Benz has standardized its service schedule across all models, making it easier for owners to keep their vehicles in top shape. The core of this schedule revolves around two main service intervals: Service A and Service B. These services are designed to proactively address your vehicle’s needs at regular intervals.
Service A for your B Mercedes Benz is recommended every 10,000 miles or 1 year, whichever occurs first. This service is crucial for routine checks and maintenance to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
Service B, on the other hand, is performed every 20,000 miles or 2 years, again, whichever comes first. Service B is more comprehensive than Service A, including additional checks and replacements to ensure long-term reliability. Understanding what each service entails can help you plan for your B Mercedes Benz maintenance. The following table outlines the specific checks and services included in both Service A and Service B.
