Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your E500's life, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2004 Mercedes-Benz E500 problems later.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2004 Mercedes-Benz E500?

Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz E500 battery, and so can frequent short drives.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty E500) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz E500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

  • When should I have Mercedes-Benz E500 alignment checked? Check your car for pothole damage!
