What’s the Difference Between Mercedes-Benz Service A and Service B?

Caring for your luxury vehicle requires a team that’s dedicated to ensuring you can get the most out of every mile. When you schedule your next A or B maintenance appointment with Mercedes-Benz of Chico, you’ll be one step closer to enjoying the high-quality adventure that we believe you deserve.

Importance of Routine Maintenance

The following charts detail required service times for model year 2009 and newer Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Schedule A outlines services performed after 10,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Schedule B shows services performed after the next 10,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.

Certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles, notably those made in 2015, diesels, those with V12 engines, and those produced by AMG®, have unique service needs. Make sure to inform your service advisor if you have such a vehicle and follow their instructions for maintaining it.
