2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK300 Scheduled Maintenance

When it comes to your Mercedes-Benz SLK300, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your SLK300. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine SLK300 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK300!

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 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 SLK300's life, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK300 problems in the future.

Bring your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK300 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your SLK300’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK300. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your SLK300 may need a replacement battery sooner. Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz SLK300 battery, and so can frequent short drives. 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 SLK300) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz SLK300 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK300 engine. See Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2011 SLK300 in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK300? We can help with that, too!

This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication.
