Mercedes-Benz A & B Service - Mercedes-Benz of Hoffman Estates Service Menu

These service intervals take into account the harsh environment vehicles are subjected to while operating under Chicago area conditions. Rough road conditions, road construction, extreme climate and temperatures add to the demanding high traffic situations your vehicle operates within. Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-Benz of Hoffman Estates classify the Chicago area and climate as "Severe Operating Conditions." Because of the classification, vehicles may require service sooner than the Service Reminder System may indicate. Mercedes-Benz of Hoffman Estates has designed these service intervals and inspections to reflect the actual driving conditions that exist in the Chicago area. Please review the following Mercedes- Benz Additional Recommended Services. If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact our Service Care Center at  (877) 639-6713.

 Brake Fluid Service                                                                   $129.95  (Recommended every 2 years)                                                                                
  
                   

Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the atmosphere due to heating and cooling of the brake fluid.  An important part of preventative maintenance is replacement of brake fluid and flushing the system. Moisture in brake fluid causes internal corrosion of the brake system components.  To prevent damage of very costly electrical hydraulic brake parts, the brake fluid must be replaced every 2 years or when contamination of the fluid is found.

Service includes: Flush brake fluid from system | Refill system |  Bleed air from brake system | Road test vehicle

  Air Filter Service                                                                              $99.95

 
Clean engine air filters increase fuel economy and engine performance by protecting the engine and the fuel injection system from damage caused by dust, sand and dirt. High traffic and road construction in and around the Chicago area can cause the filters to lose their effectiveness sooner.

Replace air filter | Inspect condition of air intake housing | Clean air intake housing  | Inspect air mass sensor seal

Wheel/Tire Balance Service                                                           $79.95
 
Proper tire and wheel balancing helps maximize the useful life of your tires. We accomplish this by using state of the art Road Force Balancing equipment. We also inspect the condition of the wheels for "Out of Round" and warped issues.

Inspect tires and wheels for damage |  Measure radial and lateral run-out | Computer balance 4 wheels/tires |  Road test vehicle

  Driveline Fluid Service                                                                      Starting from $69.95
This service replaces the worn front and rear differential and transfer case fluid for vehicles with 4MATIC all wheel drive systems.
This fluid is subjected to tremendous thermal load, which causes the fluid to break down and wear out. The normal wear of the fluid is accelerated by driving in high traffic conditions. For rear wheel drive vehicles, only the rear differential fluid maintenance is required.

Inspect for leaks | Refill with new fluid to proper level | Road test vehicle |  Drain and remove fluid | 

   Transfer Case, Front Differential and Rear Differential:
SUV - $198.95, Cars - $289.95
Rear wheel drive only vehicles - $69.95

  Windshield Wipers Blade Replacement                                             (Cars) $50.00
(Recommended replacement every year)                                                                 (SUV/Wagons) $65.00

Maintaining proper visibility while driving your vehicle is essential at all times.  Mercedes-Benz wipers are specifically designed with curvature and pressure points that perfectly conform to your windshield. Wipers of lesser quality may not have this unique design feature and may be subject to premature wear or failure.

  Computerized Four Wheel Alignment                                         $149.95

Proper alignment not only preserves tire life, but it improves: vehicle steering response, reduces stress on steering and suspension components, maintains correct ride height, maximizes fuel mileage, and allows all the active safety systems of your vehicle to operate as intended. Our technicians have been educated and certified by Mercedes-Benz to perform the correct process required, and to operate the equipment that is vital to aligning your Mercedes-Benz.
Inspect for unusual tire wear | Inspect steering and suspension for worn or bent components | Perform ride height measurement | Measure and adjust suspension components as required | Road test vehicle.

Computerized Four Wheel Alignment  with installation of  Corrective Bolt Hardware
   
In some cases the vehicle cannot be brought back into proper alignment specifications through the normal adjustment process, it may be necessary to install Corrective Bolt hardware.  This hardware is designed, manufactured and is recommended by Mercedes-Benz for this purpose. (It is not intended to compensate for bent or damaged suspension components). 
  

  Transmission Fluid/Filter Service                                               $349.95  (Recommended every 40,000 miles) 

This service replaces the worn automatic transmission fluid with new fluid, filter and gasket. Automatic transmission fluid is subjected to very high operating temperature, friction load and contamination from normal amounts of clutch material wear. New fluid and filter are necessary to maintain proper shifting, as well as prolonging transmission life expectancy. The constant upshifting and downshifting in traffic, paired with extreme climate changes, causes the fluid to break down sooner than in other driving conditions.

Inspect transmission for leaks | Remove pan and drain fluid |  Inspect contents of pan for excessive or unusual material | Replace filter, gasket, seals |  Refill fluid to proper level | Road test vehicle

 
  Engine Coolant Service                                                                 $109.95 (Recommended every 3 years)                                                                        Lifetime Coolant $149.95

This service replaces the worn anti-freeze with new anti-freeze. Anti-corrosion protection, in anti-freeze, will break down due to extreme climate changes and heating and cooling of the engine. Proper service of the engine cooling system also prevents premature wear to internal engine components.
Inspect cooling system leaks |  Drain coolant and flush system | Refill will new coolant |  Inspect for proper level and correct temp protection
   

 
  Spark Plug Replacement                                            Starting from $169.95
(Recommended every 60,000 miles)                                                                                                          

This service replaces the worn spark plugs with new spark plugs. Spark plugs operate under intense heat and combustion pressure. Worn spark plugs cause poor engine performance and poor fuel economy. Worn spark plugs can also trigger the "Check Engine" light to come on due to misfiring. New spark plugs help avoid unwanted performance issues.
 
Remove engine covers | Inspect spark plug wires | Remove ignition coils/modules | Remove spark plugs and inspect for unusual wear | Replace long life spark plugs |  Reassemble coils and cover  | Perform static performance test  | Road test vehicle
