Research and recommendations are usually where most of us start when it comes to choosing the right mechanic for your Mercedes-Benz. With a car as intricate as a Mercedes, it's really important to choose a shop that is certified, authorized, and won't void warranties when you're trying to save a few bucks by avoiding the dealer. So, how do you choose the right mechanic? Here are a few tips: Do you research. This is the biggest step. Is the shop your taking your Mercedes to certified? Are the mechanics certified? Whether it's the shop's website or Yelp, you can easily find reviews, testimonials, and information on the shops work, when they were established and if the mechanics are consistently keeping up with new tech and certs. Price vs. Location. Just because a shop is offering Mercedes repair and service for a more expensive price, does not necessarily make them better. The same goes for cheaper servic ... read more

Oil to your Mercedes is blood to the human body. It directly relates to the health of your vehicle – you wouldn't put terrible things into your veins just because it was cheaper, because you know intrinsically that you would be directly effected after a period of time. Of course this a well-known analogy, but it takes so much more than this for you to operate, of course, and the same goes for your Mercedes. Blood carries nutrients to cells, but it's air that carries fuel—the “nutrition”—for an engine. However, without oil to lubricate and cool moving parts, keep them clean and help to seal the pistons in the cylinders, the engine would run for only a matter of seconds, then seize. So, keeping all parts under the hood are important, as what you choose to put into your body is important. Think about your Mercedes-Benz as an extension of yourself. SYNTHETIC VS. TRADITIONAL OIL What about synthetic oil? Is it better than traditional oil and should I use ... read more
