Bring your 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and an expert technician will begin by performing a Courtesy Check.

Could your 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your SL550 may need a replacement battery sooner.

While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty SL550) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz SL550 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
