Keep the drama at home and out of the halls, roll in to the school year with these back to school Mercedes-Benz care tips that will surely make the grade!
TEST all lights: Did somebody say test?! For early morning or late afternoon traffic be sure that all your lights are working. This includes headlights, brake lights and turn signals. Stay visible to students, parents and other drivers on the road.
Take a (lunch) BRAKE: to make sure your brakes, pads and rotors are functioning properly before school begins. Listen for squeaking, grinding or vibrations. With more stop-go enroute to school, reliable brakes are essential. Have a qualified Mercedes-Benz repair shop check your brakes out if you suspect there is an issue.
INSPECT (not dissect) tires/treads: Keep the tires on your Mercedes-Benz inflated to the recommended PSI along with checking tread depth to ensure proper traction on the road.
Use your MIND: to make sure the fuel in your Mercedes-Benz is full ahead of time, that way you can avoid stressful last minute fuel stops if you need to make a mad dash out the door so you (or your child) isn’t late.
PLAN for extra time: as traffic patterns change when school starts, expect more people on the road and at slower (school zone) speeds. Leave earlier than usual so you’re not tempted to speed.
Stay on top of your Mercedes-Benz (and your studies) by giving your Mercedes-Benz a little preventative attention now, to help keep your daily commute stress-free, safe and dependable.
Search for a local, independent Mercedes-Benz repair shop with Mercedes-Benz mechanics that have dealer-level expertise at a fraction of the cost.
