Santa Rosa Mercedes-Benz Auto Repair

A Mercedes meets many needs such as luxury and style, but often what can be overlooked is towing capability. After all, the Mercedes' GLS class and Sprinter Van contain powerful best-in-class engines and are built for carrying large loads and towing when needed. With all that capability and capacity, most Mercedes-Benz owners that use their vehicle for towing don't know what their vehicle is capable of – nor do they know the impact towing has on their vehicle. WHAT CAN A MERCEDES-BENZ TOW? The Mercedes' Sprinter towing capacity maxes out at around 7,500 pounds and the Mercedes GL450 towing capacity maxes out at just about the same. The Mercedes-Benz GL class has other models like the GL550 and the AMG GLS 63 with a bit more horsepower but the towing capacity is relatively similar. Examples of items these Mercedes' might tow include: camping trailers, small ski boats, small horse trailers, personal watercrafts or a couple ATVs. Just take a look at this ... read more

Mercedes Sprinter Vans are an entirely new mode of luxury transportation. The beauty of a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van is that they can be tailored to fit the needs of the owner, no matter what they may be. From long road trips, luxury limousines, athletic transport vehicles or for some, even mobile kitchens, the possibilities are endless with a Mercedes Sprinter. As far as modifications go, there are many to choose from, but before moving forward with customization it's important to get your new sprinter van inspected by a certified Mercedes mechanic before taking it on the road.

This is just a friendly reminder to make sure all your ducks are in a row before taking your new mobile home on long outings. New model Sprinter Vans are built with luxury a ... read more

If you have purchased your Mercedes Sprinter off the lot, Service A (Oil Change Plus) will not be due for 20,000 miles. The Mercedes-Benz manual suggests that you should change your oil every 20,000 miles, but we like to weigh on the safe side of things and suggest you should change it every 10,000 miles. Mercedes Sprinter service intervals vary depending on the make and the model respectively, but as a general rule, maintenance should be performed (and recorded!) after 10,000 miles.
