Its no secret that Mercedes-Benz produces some of the classiest luxury cars on the market. They are timeless, classic vehicles that young and old alike enjoy driving. If you currently own a one or youre looking to buy your first Mercedes, there are a few maintenance tips that you should be aware of and follow if youre looking to get the best performance possible from your car. 1. First make sure to visit authorized Mercedes dealerships for maintenance and repairs. They will follow standard procedures that local repair shops may neglect and repairing your Mercedes at an unauthorized dealer may void your warranty. 2. Next make sure that you have an accurate, current maintenance for your specific make and model. Different makes often require different proper maintenance so dont rely on hearsay and refer to the source for questions. 3. Also, make sure that you perform scheduled maintenance every 10,000 miles. This maintenance should include checking fluid levels, brake systems, tire pressure and audible warning systems. Interior air filters and spark plugs may also be checked and replaced if necessary. 4. Additional preventive maintenance outside of scheduled maintenance should also be performed. The oil filter should be replaced every 3,000 miles. You should also check the fluid levels of your battery, radiator, transmission and brake system every 4,000 miles or so. Keep an eye out for headlights and tail lights and Mercedes performance parts that need replacing, as well as worn out tires. Follow these instructions and your Mercedes is sure to be running in tip top shape for years and years to come.About the Author:
