Mercedes Benz A vs. B Service: What’s the Difference and Why It Matters
If you drive a Mercedes-Benz, you already know these cars are built to perform. But like any precision machine, they need routine care to keep running smoothly. That’s where Service A and Service B come in; two core maintenance schedules that keep your Mercedes in top shape.
At NW European, we specialize in servicing German vehicles, and we’re here to break it all down so you know exactly what your car needs, and when.
What Is Service A?
Service A is your car’s first major scheduled maintenance. It’s typically due around 10,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first.
What’s included:
Oil change with synthetic motor oil
Oil filter replacement
Fluid level checks and corrections
Tire pressure check and adjustment
Brake inspection
Maintenance reminder reset
Service A is all about keeping your car running efficiently and catching small issues before they become big ones.
What Is Service B?
Service B usually follows about a year later, or at 20,000 miles. It includes everything in Service A, plus a few additional checks and services.
What’s included:
Cabin air filter replacement
Engine air filter replacement for specific AMG models
Brake fluid exchange (every 2 years)
More in-depth system inspections
Service B goes a bit deeper to make sure your car’s safety and performance systems are all working as they should.
