Take care of your Mercedes-Benz S430 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your S430. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your S430, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2002 Mercedes-Benz S430 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; however, recommended maintenance usually includes 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 S430's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and prevent common 2002 Mercedes-Benz S430 problems.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2002 Mercedes-Benz S430 and an expert technician will begin by performing 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 S430's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2002 Mercedes-Benz S430? In general, car batteries only last 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. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz S430 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 S430) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz S430 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
