Mercedes Servicing in South London | A Guide to Service A and Service B

Mercedes-Benz is a globally-recognised brand, and is renowned in our sector for its exceptional performance and its precise engineering. Owning a Mercedes means driving a vehicle that is designed to run at a higher level. To maintain performance, your car will need regular care, and this is what makes scheduled Mercedes servicing important.

We can service all Mercedes models for owners in South London.

Star-Tec can offer two distinctive types of Mercedes servicing, and these are called Service A and Service B. Many drivers in the South London area ask about the differences between the two, so this blog post breaks each one down so you can decide on which option is best.

No matter which service you need, you can easily make a booking with Star-Tec, an independent Mercedes garage based in Chessington. If you are unsure as to when your next service is due, we can check on a central database as long as you have previously used a dealership or independent Mercedes specialists who log their servicing work.

What is Service A?

Service A is designed for newer models and is the smallest, and the most affordable, of our two Mercedes servicing options for drivers in the South London area. Typically, your Mercedes-Benz will require its first Service A after 1 year, and then every 2 years thereafter.

During a Service A, our technicians will carry out:

  • Synthetic motor oil replacement
  • Oil and air filter replacement
  • Brake component inspection
  • Reset of the maintenance counter
  • Tyre pressure checks and corrections

Book in for a Service A today and keep your car in peak condition. A key benefit to using us for Mercedes servicing in South London is that most of our technicians have experience at main dealerships.

What is Service B?

Service B is a more comprehensive Mercedes servicing option and is a perfect choice for older vehicles or those covering higher annual mileage. Although this service is more extensive and therefore more costly, it includes more multipoint checks. Generally, a Service B is recommended 12 months after a Service A and every 2 years after.

This can depend on the driving habits of South London motorists.

Service B covers everything in Service A plus additional checks:

  • Tyre pressure checks and corrections
  • Synthetic motor oil replacement
  • Oil filter replacement
  • Brake component inspection
  • Reset of the maintenance counter
  • Cabin dust/combination filter replacement

If you come from South London, need Mercedes servicing and prefer to use independent specialists instead of a dealership, we can still file your Service A or Service B on a central database and stamp the service book so that any remaining warranties stay preserved.
