Overview of Essential Mercedes-Benz CL550 Maintenance Needs

Bring your 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL550 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your CL550's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL550 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz CL550 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty CL550) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz CL550 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL550 running newer, longer. To learn how often Mercedes-Benz recommends you have the oil changed in your 2012 CL550, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL550.

Routine upkeep for your Mercedes-Benz CL550 suspension and steering system can help you keep control of your vehicle at all times (plus, it can make for a smoother ride!).

If you fall behind on routine Mercedes-Benz CL550 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). We can help you with all those issues. Our technicians have the knowledge and tools to repair and maintain the heating and cooling systems for your Mercedes-Benz CL550’s engine, and we can service your A/C system, too.
