From oil changes to major service, Learn how much it costs to maintain your Mercedes-Benz luxury vehicle in the UAE

Mercedes offers some of the most celebrated luxury vehicles in the UAE. Therefore, you should know how much it may cost to maintain this high-end line-up of vehicles. At Emirates Moto, we have compiled this handy guide to help you understand Mercedes maintenance costs. 

In this article, we will look at Mercedes service & repair costs and some helpful tips on how to control the costs of your Mercedes.

Factors that Determine Mercedes Maintenance Costs

Several factors play a role in the cost of maintenance.

Maintenance Costs 

Before looking at the actual maintenance of a Mercedes, it is a good idea to know what factors you will need to consider. Here are four factors that can determine how much you may pay for Mercedes service: 

Model

Mercedes has a wide range of luxury vehicles. On the more affordable end, you have the subcompact A-Class. On the high end, there is the full-sized S-Class sedan and the G-Wagon luxury SUV. The more expensive the Mercedes model, the higher the maintenance cost. 

Model Year

Some newer Mercedes vehicles can be more expensive to maintain because they have more advanced equipment. On the other hand, some older Mercedes vehicles can be less expensive to maintain, because they have fewer complex parts. 

Miles

Vehicles that have more miles on them will likely need major service. Newer vehicles, with low miles, will only likely need minor service. 

Driving Behavior 

If you off-road your Mercedes, then you can expect to pay more due to the wear and tear on the vehicle. Also, if you race your Mercedes, you can expect to pay more for services such as brake and tire replacement. 

Minor Mercedes Service Costs 

Minor service can include everything from an oil change to interval service to tire rotation service. These minor services tend to take place at the 3,000 km to 10,000 km range. Since there are several factors that come into play, we will offer some minor service estimates depending on the current model year vehicle: 

• C200 AED 638.00*
• E350 AED 813.00*
• G500 AED 979.00*
• S 500 AED 979.00*

Please note that your Mercedes service center may have prices that are different from the ones shown above.

Major Mercedes Service Costs 

Mercedes maintenance for major services is going to cost more. This is because major service will likely require servicing the engine and other critical parts. Usually, your Mercedes will get major service at the 30,000 km, 60,000 km and 90,000 km interval. Here are some estimates as to how much major service will cost for give Mercedes models:

• C300 AED 1848.00*
• E300 AED 1848.00*
• G500 AED 2,233.00*
• GLS 500 AED 2,233.00*
• S 500 AED 2,233.00*
  
  

Tips to Lower Your Mercedes Maintenance Costs

You don’t have to spend more when it comes to service for your Mercedes. Here are some simple tips to help lower your costs.

1). Keep Up With Regular Schedule Mercedes Service

Check your Mercedes service & repair center to see when your vehicle is due for a visit. Usually, the Mercedes service center will send you a reminder when your vehicle needs service. Also, you can check the Mercedes website to check the service schedule for your particular vehicle. 

2). Avoid Driving Aggressively

Aggressive driving can lead to faster wear of your vehicle parts and system. Therefore, you should avoid off-road or racing your vehicle. Additionally, be sure to avoid abrupt actions such as quick braking and quick accelerations. 

3). Garage Your Vehicle

As you know, the sun can be intense in the UAE. That can lead to damage to your vehicle as well as higher temperatures. That’s why we recommend that you garage your Mercedes. If a garage is not available, be sure to park your vehicle in the shade. 

4). Use Mercedes OEM Parts 

Original Manufacturer Equipment (OEM) parts are designed to work specifically with your Mercedes. These parts not only last longer, but they can also help you avoid having to pay more for your vehicle services over your ownership experience.

5). Consider a Mercedes Service Contract

Mercedes service contracts are agreements that allow you to pay up maintenance upfront. This helps you lock in the best price and avoids having to deal with major payments. A Mercedes service contract is a smart choice if you choose to own your vehicle for a long period of time.
