Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
Service A and B both require an oil change and that is very important. The B service also includes a number of body and chassis checks. At 40K miles, it’s not uncommon to need brake work, so you need to be sure to have the brakes inspected. You can look up the maintenance to decide what you want to do one step at a time. Meanwhile, Your Mechanic can send a technician right to you to change your oil and give you some advice about the other maintenance tasks.

Expert mechanics know that the 40,000-mile mark calls for services beyond the standard 10,000-mile maintenance. During a typical 40,000-mile service appointment, mechanics inspect components like the tires, battery, brakes, and engine. They`ll identify problems and recommend repairs or replacements if necessary.
With the first visit at approximately 10,000 miles or 1 years whichever comes first – and then approximately every 20,000 miles or 2 years after that – Service A includes: Mercedes-Benz motor oil replacement. Oil filter replacement. Fluid level checks and corrections.
45,000-Mile Service
The transmission fluid will also be carefully inspected and may need to be replaced. The brake fluid and coolant may also need to be replenished or changed. The brake pads and rotors will need to be carefully inspected, and the pads themselves will often need to be changed.
The 45,000 mile service is an intermediate service. The 45,000-mile service generally involves an oil and filter change, tire rotation, and a safety inspection, as well as possible replacement of the engine air filter and cabin air filter.
Service B involves: Replacing the oil filter and Mercedes-Benzes motor oil. Inspecting and correcting tire pressure. Checking fluid levels and modifying them according to the manufacturer`s instructions. Replacing the cabin dust/combination filter.
The biggest difference between Mercedes-Benz Service A and Mercedes-Benz Service B is the required time interval for each. Service A is required after 10,000 miles or 1 year, while Service B is required when you reach 20,000 miles or 2 years.

Cooling System Flush
Service: Every 40,000km.
The 60,000 mile (60K) service is an extremely important service interval. It will include all of the maintenance items of a 30,000 mile (30K) service and a bit more. There are often very vital services that are needed at this interval and the financial impact of ignoring this important service can be extremely high.

Under normal circumstances, a vehicle with 40,000 miles may be considered relatively new, even if it`s several years old. A younger vehicle with 140,000 miles would be considered significantly older, but that doesn`t necessarily mean it`s in bad condition.

Car not speeding up smoothly, service engine light on when first start driving and car vibrating
ANSWER : Hi There,
It sounds like you may have a dirty or faulty mass air flow sensor. The problem this can cause may also be compounded when the engine is cold due to the change in air density in cooler weather. The mass air flow sensor monitors air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the motor. This sensor relays information about fuel and air temperature, air speed entering the motor and many other things to the ECM which uses this to make adjustments to fuel supply to the motor. A dirty or faulty sensor can cause an imbalanced air/fuel load to be supplied to the motor which results in an over fueling or under fueling situation depending on the conditions. This type of inconsistent fuel supply to the motor may cause a hesitation, loss of power, a jerking reaction, potentially a bit of black exhaust smoke and typically a strong smell of fuel when this sensor is malfunctioning. I would suggest having a professional from Your Mechanic come to your home to diagnose and inspect your vehicle.

Can I ride my car with a bad oil pan for at least a month until Ican get the MONEY TO GET IT FIXED
ANSWER : Hello. If the mechanic at your garage is telling you that the oil leak is severe, I would highly recommend replacing that as soon as possible and not to drive your vehicle until it has been fixed. Leaking oil from a cracked or damaged oil pan or rear seal can increase due to heat and excessive driving. It also will cause internal component damage as the engine will rapidly loose oil pressure and lubrication. An oil leak from the pan is one that should be resolved ASAP and without further driving if possible.
Should I buy this car for $1700
ANSWER : Prior to buying any car, drive the car around and listen for any noises. Then do an inspection on the vehicle to make sure that it is safe to drive. All cars will need maintenance, but if the car was kept up, then the maintenance should be to a minimum.
Why does my car lose power at 20 miles an hour and 60 miles an hour and my check engine light goes on and off
ANSWER : Hello. It sounds like you may have a sensor issue going on with your car. Most of the time when something like this occurs it is caused by a throttle position sensor that is not working properly. It can also be caused by worn out fuel system or ignition system parts but it is most commonly a sensor. I will usually install my scan tool and drive the vehicle while monitoring what the sensors are doing. This would tell me if there is a sensor issue going on. If the sensors are reading correctly then I inspect the ignition system and also test the fuel pressure. If you are looking to have this loss of power checked, consider having a YourMechanic certified technician come to your home or office to diagnose why it is losing power.
Oil leaking from under car and "remote control car" sound when car is first started for a few minutes until it warm up.
ANSWER : Hello,
There are a number of things that could make an engine noisy when starting up. Depending on the specific type of sound you are referring to, this will determine how to properly diagnose. If there is a bit of a hissing sound, this may be a sign of a vacuum leak. If this is more of a shrieking sound, this may be a sign of a worn out or out of adjustment serpentine belt. If there is a bit of a howling or growling sound, this may be a sign of a worn out or low on fluid power steering pump. A rattling or pinging sound may be caused by an ignition problem. An engine can ping (or knock) due to an improper combustion process. A "spark knock" is the result of combustion occurring too early. Early combustion can occur from carbon buildup inside the combustion chamber, a lean air/fuel mixture, and advanced ignition timing (spark plug firing too soon). A clattering type sound may be a result of improper lubrication in the valve train which could be a more serious problem and should be addressed as soon as possible. I would suggest having an expert from YourMechanic come to your location to diagnose and inspect your vehicle to ensure everything is in proper working order.

my car heater gets warm but not hot.the car temp.is fine but i need more heat for the winter.does it sound like i need a new therm
ANSWER : It is possible that the thermostat is stuck open. When this happens, the engine can run much cooler than it is intended to. Running "too cool" can effect fuel mileage, emissions, and heater output. Most modern engines operate around or above the boiling point of water – 200-225 degrees. The thermostat generally opens when the coolant reaches 190-195 degrees. Part of it’s job is to restrict coolant flow so the engine can reach those temperatures. If the thermostat is open constantly, the engine may never reach operating temperatures. Have a certified technician inspect and/or replace the thermostat.
My car has a radiator leak and I need to get it to my mechanic
ANSWER : If the radiator has to be replaced because it leaks, that replacement can be performed right at your location (without moving the car) by a mobile mechanic. If you desire that service, please request radiator replacement and the responding certified mechanic will get this resolved for you. If you desire to bring the car to a mechanic, the practicality of that will simply depend on how large the leak is, although any leak will make it impossible for the cooling system to operate under pressure and thus the system could boil over even with a relatively small leak. Unfortunately, without seeing the car and understanding the exact extent of the leak, it is impossible to advise whether it is safe to drive and, if so, what sort of distance might be safe. Generally, if you have a known leak, the most prudent course is to either have the car towed or just simply avail yourself of YourMechanic’s mobile repair service which will save you money, too, because you don’t have to pay the considerable overhead associated with in-shop or dealer repairs. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.
