Santa Rosa Mercedes-Benz Auto Repair

Though often overlooked, brakes are perhaps the most important components on your Mercedes-Benz. After all, they enable you to stop on a dime and keep you and your family safe. CK Auto Exclusive knows that if treated properly, your brakes will be there when you absolutely need them. We've scoured the web and tapped into our own expertise to compile a list of things you can do to increase the longevity of your brakes along with maintenance you should do when it comes time to service your Mercedes-Benz.

With the winter months fast approaching your brakes might very well be the most important tool for your safety this season. Regular maintenance aside, the brakes in your Mercedes-Benz must be checked every 30K or so, but this also depends on your driving style. As most drivers know regular wear and tear is expected, but this heavily relies on your environment and the hardness of your brake pads. Stop-and-go traffic, city commutes, and braking patterns affect how long your brakes will last. Do you coast to a stop? Or do you tailgate until you see the brilliant red of the car in front of you? CK Auto Exclusive Santa Rosa offers service for both Mercedes-Benz brakes and suspension, using only the best Mercedes parts available when making repairs. This assures that the original breaking capabilities and suspension of your Mercedes is maintained. Our staff prides themselves in luxury auto repair delivering the very best artistry to the craft.

We have spent decades learning and working with the brand, ensuring that our knowledge and expertise of Mercedes engines beat that the of the competition.

Like everything with moving parts, vehicle engines degrade over time—even luxury vehicle engines. Gears grind out against each other and bearings eventually thin to a point where it's dangerous to get on the freeway. But don't get discouraged ... read more
