Mercedes B Service
Looking to keep your Mercedes in pristine condition?
Your Mercedes is a luxury car, but even luxury vehicles need regular servicing to maintain performance. Neglecting regular Mercedes servicing can result in more minor issues worsening, resulting in expensive repairs.
To help you keep your vehicle in peak condition, Mercedes has created two servicing regimes, the Mercedes A and Mercedes B Service.

You always get a dealership-level service for better value with us.

What’s the difference between Mercedes A Service and Mercedes B Service?
At Cheltenham and Gloucester Autocentre, a common query we encounter is, “What differentiates Mercedes A Service from Mercedes B Service?”
To help you understand the differences, let’s discuss these two Mercedes servicing options.
The Mercedes A Service is usually required once your car is a year old (or has driven 10,000 miles), and the service will be required every other year after that.
Mercedes A Service includes:
- Synthetic Motor Oil change
- Tyre pressure evaluation and adjustment
- Oil Filter replacement
- Brakes review
- Maintenance Counter reset
On the flip side, Mercedes B Service is a more comprehensive regimen, ideal for older Mercedes vehicles or those with higher mileage. It’s usually due one year after your Mercedes A Service.
Mercedes B Service alternates with the A Service and will occur every other year, fitting in between the Mercedes A Service.
Mercedes B Service comprises:
- Synthetic Motor Oil change
- Oil Filter replacement
- Cabin Dust/Combination Filter change
- Brake assessment
- Maintenance Counter reset
When our client approached us at Cheltenham and Gloucester Autocentre, they were uncertain of the service type their Mercedes needed.
Luckily, our Mercedes specialists could help. At Cheltenham and Gloucester Autocentre, we’re privy to the same manufacturer data as the main Mercedes dealerships, enabling us to provide informed service recommendations.
What happened Next?
Based on the digital service records from Mercedes, the client’s CLA needed a Mercedes B Service.
While conducting the Mercedes B Service at Cheltenham and Gloucester Autocentre, our team noticed an issue with the CLA’s brakes. Both front Brake Discs had significant wear, reducing the vehicle’s braking efficiency and potentially compromising the clients safety.
On top of that, they were below the legal limit, which can land you in trouble with the police. It’s the last thing you need.
Addressing Brake issues is crucial; they cause 25% of road accidents.
At Cheltenham and Gloucester Autocentre, we always want to ensure your safety while delivering trustworthy solutions to get you back on the move.
Our expert’s vast experience, in-depth knowledge, and skills allowed us to solve the Brake issue during the first visit. During this, we were happy to provide the client with a free courtesy car while their CLA was being serviced.
At Cheltenham and Gloucester Autocentre, vehicles scheduled for a Mercedes B Service will be with us for the day. While many local Mercedes dealers might charge for a courtesy car, we believe in going the extra mile by offering it at no additional cost.
Solving the issue
Given the poor condition of the CLA’s Brakes, we sourced authentic Mercedes Brake Pads and Discs to install on the vehicle.
As your local independent Mercedes specialists, we only use genuine Mercedes or high-quality alternative parts on your vehicle. This ensures your Mercedes gets the quality it needs for peak performance while maintaining your Mercedes warranty.
After the Brake replacement, a comprehensive road test was performed to ensure the Mercedes CLA’s safety and the flawless operation of the new Brakes.
Before handing over the clients keys, we updated the vehicle’s online service log. Doing so keeps the Mercedes CLA’s warranty intact.
The client was pleased to have their Mercedes back in complete working condition, and they were even happier to have it back on the same day they dropped it off.
At Cheltenham and Gloucester Autocentre, our turnaround is much faster than the main Mercedes dealership. So not only do you get better than dealership service, but you also get better value and a quicker turnaround time. What’s not to like?
