Service A vs Service B: What’s the Difference and When Do I Need Them?

First-time Mercedes-Benz owners might be surprised to learn that their vehicles are already scheduled to undergo regular maintenance even before they leave the parking lot. This service is split into two packages: Service A and Service B. Each package includes basic maintenance on you Mercedes-Benz vehicles, but there are some differences between the two packages. To help you better understand how we here at Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale, AZ, keep your Mercedes-Benz vehicle is tip-top shape, we thought we’d put together a side-by-side comparison of the two service packages so you can see exactly what is going on.

Here are the differences between Mercedes Service A and Service B.

  • Oil filter replacement
  • Fluid level checks and corrections
