An A service on a Mercedes is a regular maintenance service that is recommended for cars with an odometer reading of approximately 10,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first. and then approximately every 20,000 miles or 2 years after that.

The service includes an oil and filter change, a visual inspection of the engine, a brake system inspection, tire check, and any necessary fluid and filter replacements.

But a B service on a Mercedes is a more involved service that usually occurs after every two A services. In addition to an oil and filter change, the B service includes a more in-depth inspection of the engine components, an inspection of the suspension and steering systems, a cabin air filter replacement, and a brake fluid flush. This service is more thorough than the A service.
