2017 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Maintenance

Take care of your Mercedes-Benz SL550 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 SL550. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get SL550 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL550!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle manufacturer. 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 fluid exchanges, filter changes, new brake pads, oil changes, and tire rotations. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your SL550 perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL550 problems later.

Bring your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL550 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your SL550’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL550? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Mercedes-Benz SL550 battery. 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. 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.
