2016 Mercedes-Benz GL550 Maintenance Schedule

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz GL550, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your GL550 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine GL550 maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL550!

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. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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 GL550's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL550 problems later.

Bring your 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL550 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your GL550's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2016 Mercedes-Benz GL550 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty GL550) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz GL550 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
