Mercedes B Service
Keeping your Mercedes in excellent condition requires regular maintenance and service. Neglecting your service schedule can lead to issues and can compromise the performance of your luxury vehicle. That’s why it’s crucial to stay on top of your Mercedes service appointments.
When it’s time for your Mercedes service, you’ll come across two options: the Mercedes A Service and the Mercedes B Service. Both are equally important for ensuring the optimal performance and the longevity of your Mercedes, as well as preserving its warranty. But what sets them apart?
In this blog post, we will take an in-depth look at the differences between the Mercedes A and B Services. We will also share details on how we helped a recent client determine the appropriate service for their Mercedes CLA.
If you want to ensure that your Mercedes runs like new and remains in top condition, join us as we share insights on how to keep your vehicle at its best!
How Mercedes A & B Services Differ
As a Mercedes owner, it’s helpful for you to understand the difference between the two types of Mercedes services, so you know what each service will cover.
Typically, the Mercedes A Service is recommended after the first year and then every two years thereafter.
The Mercedes A Service includes the following:
- Replacement of synthetic motor oil
- Replacement of oil filter
- Inspection of brake components
- Check and correction of tyre inflation
- Resetting of the maintenance counter
The Mercedes B Service offers a more comprehensive package. This service is generally more suitable for older vehicles or those with higher mileage.
Typically, the Mercedes B Service is required one year after the Mercedes A Service, and then it alternates with the Mercedes A Service every other year, depending on your mileage.
The Mercedes B Service includes the following:
- Replacement of synthetic motor oil
- Replacement of oil filter
- Replacement of cabin dust/combination filter
- Inspection of brake components
- Resetting of the maintenance counter
The Mercedes CLA
One of our clients recently came to us with their Mercedes CLA, uncertain about which service they needed. Our Mercedes specialist stepped in to provide assistance and guidance. At Athersmiths Motor Services, we have access to the same information as Mercedes dealerships, allowing us to deliver dealership-level service with better value than the dealerships themselves. You can rely on us for top-quality service for your Mercedes vehicle.
Based on the digital service records of our client’s CLA, it was time for their Mercedes B service, which is performed every two years.
At Athersmiths Motor Services, the safety of our customers is our top priority. To ensure their safety, we offer free safety inspections with every Mercedes service. During one of our routine safety checks, we discovered an issue with the CLA’s brake system. Brake problems are something no one wants to encounter, as they contribute to 25% of all road accidents. Therefore, we made it our priority to address the problem right away.
We identified worn brake discs on both the front and rear brakes of the CLA, which posed a safety risk. With our expertise and meticulous evaluation process, we accurately assessed the condition of their braking system and provided an effective solution without any guesswork.
Once we informed the client about the worn brake discs in their vehicle, they gave us the go ahead to replace them. At Athersmiths Motor Services, we believe in giving our clients full control over the repair process. We will only proceed with the work once you give us your approval.
Solving the Problem
Our primary focus was to resolve the issue with our client’s worn brake discs, which were in fact below the legal thickness requirement. To fix this matter, we chose to use high quality replacement brake discs and pads. By choosing these high-quality components, we not only ensured the client’s CLA was safe for the roads with a fully functioning brake system, but it was also now complying to legal standards. This thorough approach not only prioritised the client’s safety but also preserved their Mercedes warranty.
After completing all the necessary safety checks, our Mercedes service expert confidently returned the keys to the client. The client was delighted to have their Mercedes back on the same day they had brought it in.
At Athersmiths Motor Services, we strive to maintain our unwavering commitment to providing a top-quality service. We take pride in our exceptional value and dedication to customer satisfaction.

In Summary
When our client’s Mercedes required servicing, they were unsure if it was time for the A or B Service.Our experienced team of technicians were able to advise, based on the digital service records of our client’s CLA, that it was time for their Mercedes B Service, which is performed every two years. Our highly skilled service specialists are well-versed in performing this service with precision.
During our complimentary safety inspection, included with the Mercedes B Service, we identified a need for brake repairs on the Mercedes. The brake discs and pads on the CLA were found to be excessively worn, posing a safety concern and rendering the vehicle legally unfit for the road.
Using high quality replacement parts, our Mercedes specialist was able to replace the brake discs and pads on the same day. By doing so, we effectively restored the CLA to its optimal condition, providing our client with a reliable and first-time fix.
