2009 Mercedes-Benz GL450 Scheduled Maintenance

You want your Mercedes-Benz GL450 to last as long as possible. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your GL450. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your GL450, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL450 maintenance schedule!

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. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like 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 GL450's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL450 problems later.

Bring your 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL450 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your GL450’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2009 Mercedes-Benz GL450 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz GL450 battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your GL450 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz GL450 won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.

Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide the appropriate Mercedes-Benz GL450 steering and suspension services.

If you skip recommended Mercedes-Benz GL450 services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C.
