A Mercedes Benz is a status symbol and it should be treated with the utmost care. Although buying a car is expensive in Singapore, the servicing isn’t and there are myriad of servicing options in Singapore that cater to your needs.
Why you should service your Mercedes Benz regularly?
Avoid Big Mishaps
One of the main reasons to service your car is to avoid a catastrophic mishap like engine failure or parts failure. There are many things that can go wrong apart from that, like spark plug failure, brake failure among others.
Improve Mileage
Mileage of a car decreases over time and constant servicing can help with that. Fixing your filters and changing your oil regularly keeps your engine running in prime condition.
Keep your car running for longer
Cars are meant to run for decades, but you can improve the lifespan of a car by a few more decades just by servicing it regularly.
How reliable is the car servicing in Singapore?
Modern day cars are electronically controlled and cannot be serviced by your average mechanic. Qualified mechanics who are allowed to operate on Mercedes cars have an advanced vehicle diagnostic machine.
A diagnostic machine electronically accesses the working parts of the car. Various fixes can be performed with the help of a diagnostic tool.
Dealer level functions can be performed on your car with the help of the diagnostic tool. Advanced car servicing companies also do Programming and Calibration on your car.
There are different types of calibration that can be done with a diagnostic tool and they are as follows.
- Dashboard immobilizer
- ECM/ECU immobilizer
- ECM/ECU Build coding
- SRS/Airbag/Restraint Module Programming (Pre-tensioner, airbags, ECUs)
- New & Existing key/remote programming and coding
- Central convenience module
- Comfort control module
- ABS module
- Air suspension calibration
- Fuse Box module
- SBC pump programming
