When should Mercedes-Benz SLK230 spark plugs be replaced?

When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.

What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Mercedes-Benz SLK230?

Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.

Are some driving habits better for my Mercedes-Benz SLK230 engine than others?

You can make your driving habits more engine-friendly. Hard starts and stops can increase the stress on engine parts, especially over many years. Boost your fuel economy and care for your engine by using gradual, smooth starts and stops instead.

Mercedes-Benz SLK230 Engine Tune-Up Services

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Mercedes-Benz SLK230 engine tune-up services. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up.
