Mercedes-Benz knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind.

During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your C240’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.
Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2001 Mercedes-Benz C240? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your C240 may need a replacement battery sooner.

Your Mercedes-Benz C240 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
