Baltimore Mercedes-Benz Service for Car Care Month

April is National Car Care Month, which is an excellent reminder for Owings Mills, MD Mercedes-Benz owners to ensure that their vehicles are operating at peak performance and safety levels. When most people think of Mercedes-Benz service, they think of oil changes and tire rotations, and while we do provide these essential services, this National Car Care Month, we would like to highlight some easily overlooked service items.

Brake Fluid Health

Effective braking involves a variety of different components all working together in harmony. This includes brakes, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid. The role of the fluid is to naturally absorb moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point, potentially reducing braking effectiveness. We recommend checking the brake fluid’s condition and replacing it according to the recommended Mercedes-Benz guidelines.

Headlight Check

It’s important to not only have properly functioning headlights but also to ensure that they are correctly aligned. Over time, bumps and typical road vibrations can subtly affect headlight alignment. We’ll check and adjust the aim for optimal nighttime visibility and safety.

Examine Belts and Hoses

The serpentine belt and the variety of hoses inside your Mercedes-Benz vehicle are all crucial components. We’ll visually inspect these belts and hoses for cracks, wear, or brittleness to help prevent unexpected car trouble.

Transmission Fluid Refill

While not required as often as an oil change, checking the transmission fluid level and condition according to your maintenance schedule is critical for ensuring smooth shifting. Our technicians will check the level and refill it if necessary.
