Mercedes-Benz knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your SLR McLaren perform better, keep you safer on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren problems in the future.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your SLR McLaren's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty SLR McLaren) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
