Mercedes-Benz Service A & Service B
South Miami · The factory schedule, without the dealership
MERCEDES-BENZ SERVICE A AND SERVICE B IN MIAMI
Service A and Service B are the two standard Mercedes-Benz maintenance services. Service A is due at about 10,000 miles or 12 months, Service B at about 20,000 miles or 24 months, and the two alternate from there. Miami Benz carries out both to the factory schedule at its South Miami workshop, and resets the maintenance counter on the factory tool.
We are a Mercedes-Benz Independent Service Provider, so your car gets the factory schedule and factory tooling without the dealership’s labor rate — and you talk to the technician who worked on it.

Done on the factory tool, so the next interval is right
WHAT SERVICE A INCLUDES
- Synthetic motor oil replacement
- Oil filter replacement
- All fluid level checks and corrections
- Tire pressures set, including the spare, and the tire pressure monitoring system reset where fitted
- Brake component inspection
- Maintenance counter reset
- Any further items your model and model year require
Mercedes-Benz standardized this schedule across the range in 2009, so the same two services cover almost every car we see.
WHAT SERVICE B ADDS
Service B covers everything in Service A, and adds:
- Cabin dust or combination filter replacement — the filter that cleans the air coming into the cabin, and the one that matters most in Miami traffic and humidity
- Brake fluid exchange — brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point
Because of those two items, Service B takes longer and costs more than Service A.
WHAT WE INSPECT ON EVERY MERCEDES SERVICE VISIT
Alongside the factory checklist, every car gets our own inspection:
- Power train inspection, to make sure everything is sealed and working properly
- Front and rear suspension
- Full brake inspection
- Air conditioning and heating
- Electrical system, from wipers and signals to interior lighting and seat functions
- Full computer readout
Anything we find is reported to you with the car in front of us, before any extra work is agreed.
FACTORY-QUALITY MERCEDES SERVICE IN MIAMI WITHOUT DEALERSHIP PRICES
Warranty repairs belong at the dealership, and no independent can authorize them. Everything else is a straight comparison:
- The same diagnostic depth. Our Sentry machine reads every module and codes as the dealer’s does.
- Your warranty is not at risk. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act a manufacturer cannot void your warranty simply because an independent workshop carried out scheduled maintenance, provided genuine parts and correct procedures are used.
- A written record of the work and the service history, kept for exactly that reason.
- No dealership overhead built into the labor rate.
We are two blocks from the South Miami Metrorail station — most owners drop the car and carry on into town.
MERCEDES-BENZ SERVICE A & B PRICING IN MIAMI
Service A and Service B are not one price for every Mercedes. Oil capacity and filter type vary by engine, Service B carries the brake fluid and cabin filter, and an AMG or a diesel is not the same job as a four-cylinder sedan.

SERVICE A AND SERVICE B QUESTIONS
What is Mercedes-Benz Service A?
Service A is the first of the two standard Mercedes-Benz maintenance services. It covers a synthetic motor oil and oil filter replacement, all fluid level checks and corrections, tire pressures set including the spare, a brake component inspection, and a reset of the maintenance counter, plus any items your model and model year require.
What is Service B, and how is it different from Service A?
Service B includes everything in Service A and adds two items: a cabin dust or combination filter replacement and a brake fluid exchange. It falls due at the longer interval, so it is the bigger of the two services.
When is my Mercedes service due?
Service A is due at about 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, and Service B at about 20,000 miles or 24 months. After that the two alternate. Your car counts down to the next one and tells you on the dash, and we reset that counter on the factory tool so the next interval is right.
Will servicing at an independent workshop void my Mercedes warranty?
No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act a manufacturer cannot void your warranty simply because an independent workshop carried out scheduled maintenance, provided genuine parts and correct procedures are used. We keep a full written service record for exactly that reason.
Do you reset the service indicator?
Yes. The maintenance counter is reset on the factory tool as part of the service, so your car counts down correctly to the next one.
How much do Service A and Service B cost?
It depends on the car. Oil capacity, filter type and engine all change the figure, and Service B costs more than Service A because of the brake fluid and cabin filter. Call or text (305) 740 3440 with your model and year and we will quote it.
Do you service AMG and G-Class models?
Yes. Both have their own pages – see AMG Performance and G-Wagon Service – and both follow the same Service A and Service B schedule.
Where are you, and how long does the car need to stay?
We are at 5844 Commerce Ln, South Miami, FL 33143, two blocks from the South Miami Metrorail station, open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Most owners drop the car and carry on into town. Tell us when you book and we will tell you what to expect for your model.
