How to Look After your Mercedes-Benz
It goes without saying that Mercedes-Benz has redefined class. Known for its excellent engineering, unparalleled technology, roadworthiness and safety, your Mercedes requires a lot of care and maintenance.
No matter if you have a brand-new car or a pre owned Mercedes car, even a small scratch can hurt like a bitch, and think about the repairing costs and the endless waiting hours at the mechanic to get the scratch fixed. We all know that these cars are strong and technologically advanced. However, there are a few things that you must keep in mind if you want to keep your fancy ride safe. We will tell you...
1. Air Conditioning
With excessive use, the compressors in the air conditioner get damaged. Therefore, to elongate the life of the compressors - switch on the air conditioner for at least 10 minutes every week (summers or winters). Since the air conditioner runs on refrigerant gas, it will keep the air conditioner from getting damaged quickly in the future.
2. Car Washing
Instead of getting your car washed once in a blue moon, how about taking it for a car wash each month? I know it sounds too much, but a fancy car like Mercedes-Benz requires regular washes and waxes, otherwise it’ll be all covered with muck. Moreover, washing averts dirt and road chemicals from oxidizing and damaging the exterior paint.
3. Tune-up your Car
A few tune-ups here and there will definitely extend your car's life. Most of the parts in your car can be replaced are housed below the covers, wiring and emission control gadgets of the car. If you actually want to maintain your Mercedes-Benz, check out the owner’s manual to know more about recommended factory tune-ups.
4. Tire Maintenance
Tires play a crucial role in the overall performance of the vehicle. Moreover, they also help you save a lot of money on fuel. So make sure that you are constantly checking the tire inflation pressure, every week. It's necessary to keep on adjusting the tire pressure as per the inflation chart that is generally placed on the driver’s door sill. Nowadays, instead of air, tires are filled with nitrogen. The best thing about using nitrogen is that it doesn’t expand or contract according to the temperature changes. Plus, it does not retain moisture.
5. Use Synthetic Oil
A good oil is the most cost-effective way to maintain the engine life of your vehicle. As time passes by, the vehicle oil drives off, not being able to keep the engine lubricated which leads to dirt accumulation in the engine. Therefore, make a point to use synthetic oil in your car. I know synthetic oil is way too costly, but they are far better and last longer.
If you really want to keep your Mercedes-Benz look good as new, then keep the above pointers in your mind. Keeping your car safe is in your hands and it also saves you a lot of money.
