The Best or Nothing – Mercedes-Benz Service at Bernhard Auto Works.

What's the difference between "Service A" and "Service B" on my Mercedes?

Service A is the lighter of the two, mainly an oil and filter change with a basic inspection, while Service B is more involved and includes additional items like cabin air filter and brake fluid, on a schedule that alternates between the two roughly every year. Your dash will tell you which one is due rather than leaving you to guess. Our trustworthy technicians at Bernhard Auto Works follow the manufacturer's exact checklist for whichever one your car needs. Call (618) 281-6900 and we'll confirm which service you're due for.

Why does my AMG or turbocharged Mercedes feel like it's lost power or boost?

A stuck or failing wastegate actuator is one of the more common causes on Mercedes turbo engines, since it controls how much exhaust bypasses the turbine to regulate boost, and a fault here can leave the engine running in a reduced-power mode as a precaution. It's usually an electronic or mechanical actuator issue rather than anything wrong with the turbo itself. Our trustworthy technicians at Bernhard Auto Works can diagnose it properly instead of assuming the worst. We are open Mon-Fri: 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM | Sat-Sun: Closed.

Does my Mercedes need timing chain service, and how do I know?

A rattling noise on cold start that fades as the engine warms up is the main thing to watch for, particularly on M274 and M272 four-cylinder and V6 engines, where the timing chain tensioner is a known wear point over time. If you're unsure, turn to the trustworthy technicians at Bernhard Auto Works. We can inspect it if you've heard an odd noise.
