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. 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. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your SL550's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Could your 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years.

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.
