Mercedes B Service
In order to keep your Mercedes in pristine condition, routine maintenance and service are essential. If you ignore your service schedule, you will run into performance issues down the road, so here at Shires Garage, we will always advise that you keep on top of your Mercedes service appointments. Over time, this will save you both time and money.
Now, did you know there are two Mercedes service options? The Mercedes A Service and the Mercedes B Service. It is crucial that you take advantage of both options to ensure that your Mercedes performs at its best. Both of these services will also maintain your Mercedes warranty.
So what are the differences between the two?
In this blog post, we’ll discuss the differences between Mercedes A and B Services, and take a look at how we helped a recent client of ours determine the Mercedes service they needed for their CLA.
Now, let’s jump straight into it.
The Difference Between the Mercedes A and Mercedes B Service
There are a couple of key differences between the two types of Mercedes services available, and it’s important to know the difference.
The Mercedes A Service is generally required after one year, then every two years thereafter.
In the Mercedes A Service, the following is included:
- Synthetic motor oil replacement
- Oil filter replacement
- Brake component inspection
- Tyre inflation check and correction
- Reset maintenance counter
The Mercedes B Service, on the other hand, provides a broader range of services.
One year after getting the Mercedes A Service, the Mercedes B Service is usually required. After that, it alternates with the Mercedes A Service (due every other year, depending on mileage).
In the Mercedes B Service, the following services are included:
- Synthetic motor oil replacement
- Oil filter replacement
- Cabin dust/combination filter replacement
- Brake component inspection
- Reset maintenance counter
One of our recent Mercedes clients was unsure of which service they needed, so our Mercedes service specialist took charge and assured them we were able to help.
Our technicians at Shires Garage have access to the same Mercedes-Benz information that Mercedes dealerships do. Therefore, we can give you a premium service while saving you money, as we provide dealership-level service with better-than-dealership value.
What Happened Next?
According to the Mercedes digital service records, our client’s CLA was due for a Mercedes B Service.
During the Mercedes B Service, our technician discovered a problem with the CLA’s brake system. The brake discs on both the front brakes had worn, meaning the CLA would not be braking efficiently, putting our client’s safety at risk.
It goes without saying that it is imperative to address any brake issues right away, so we made it our top priority to fix the problem. At Shires Garage we are dedicated to ensuring our customers’ safety and providing a reliable fix to get them back on the road as soon as possible.
With our extensive expertise, vast knowledge, and meticulous evaluation process, we were able to assess the client’s braking system and provide a fix without any guesswork.
We were also able to offer our client a complimentary courtesy car whilst the CLA was being serviced. We offer this extra convenience at Shires Garage as your car will stay with us all day when it is booked for a Mercedes B Service. This service is often charged extra by local Mercedes dealerships, but we strive to exceed expectations by including it free of charge.
Providing a Solution
Our client’s brake discs had worn down so much that they were below the legal thickness requirement. Both the brake discs and pads needed to be replaced. Our technicians used genuine Mercedes parts for the replacements, ensuring not only the vehicle’s safety on the road, but also protecting the Mercedes warranty.
Our technician returned the keys to the client with confidence, following all safety checks. The fact that our client got their Mercedes back the same day they brought it in was an added bonus too!
At Shires Garage, our services are unmatched. Even the local Mercedes dealership can’t compete with our value and high-quality service. So why not book your Mercedes A Service or Mercedes B Service with us today and discover our exceptional value for yourself?

In Summary
Recently, one of our clients needed a service on their Mercedes CLA but were unsure on which service was due. After determining our client needed a Mercedes B Service, our skilled servicing specialists at Shires Garage got to work on the CLA.
Issues with the Mercedes brake system were identified right away. The front brake discs and pads on the CLA were too thin for it to be driven legally.
Using genuine Mercedes parts, we were able to replace the brake discs and pads the same day, repairing the CLA successfully, and getting our client back on the roads safely.
