How Often Should I Service My Mercedes-Benz?
How often should you service your Mercedes-Benz? A Cranbourne West Mercedes specialist explains ASSYST intervals, A vs B services and severe-use schedules.
The Mercedes ASSYST schedule
Modern Mercedes use ASSYST/ASSYST PLUS, which calculates your service due date from how you drive – usually around every 12 months or 15,000-25,000km. Your dashboard shows the countdown and whether an A or B service is due.
A service vs B service
Mercedes alternate a lighter A service (oil, filter, fluids, reset) and a larger B service (adds cabin filter and deeper checks) year on year. See our A vs B service guide for detail.
Don’t just trust the computer
ASSYST stretches intervals for low-km drivers, but oil still degrades over time. We recommend an oil service at least every 12 months even if the countdown hasn’t hit – cheap insurance for an expensive engine.
Severe-use driving
Lots of short trips, towing or stop-start Melbourne traffic counts as severe use – service closer to every 10,000km or 6-9 months.

We follow your exact ASSYST schedule, stamp the logbook and reset the indicator. Book your Mercedes service in Cranbourne West.
