What’s the Mercedes-Benz Service A Checklist?

Before delving into the Mercedes-Benz Service A cost, let’s look at some specifics. Mercedes-Benz Service A* is performed after one year or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. While the service performed can vary depending on the model year, Service A includes:

  • Tire inflation check and correction

  • Synthetic Motor Oil Replacement**
  • Oil Filter Replacement**
  • All fluid level checks and corrections are dependent on factory-recommended service intervals for your vehicle’s year and model

Service A vs. Service B Intervals: How Do They Differ?

Beyond what’s listed on the Mercedes-Benz Service A checklist and Mercedes-Benz Service B checklist, the main difference between the two is time intervals. Service A is recommended after 10,000 miles or one year, while Service B is suggested after two years or 20,000 miles.

In terms of the actual performed services, Service A and B tasks are the same, however during Service B, your vehicle will receive a brake fluid replacement and a cabin air filter replacement. Certain GLA AMG® and CLA models also received an engine air filter replacement during Service B.
