2000 Mercedes-Benz S500 Maintenance

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz S500 and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your S500 could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your S500, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2000 Mercedes-Benz S500!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your S500's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2000 Mercedes-Benz S500 problems later.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 2000 Mercedes-Benz S500 and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your S500’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2000 Mercedes-Benz S500? 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.

It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Mercedes-Benz S500 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
