Mercedes-Benz Service & Repairs

Mercedes-Benz service at our Pagewood workshop in Sydney's eastern suburbs

Our Full Mercedes-Benz Services in Sydney

We have been servicing Mercedes-Benz cars at our Pagewood workshop since 1999, and European cars for a great deal longer than that. The workshop is NRMA Approved and ATE accredited, ARC licensed for air conditioning work, and an authorised NSW inspection station. For a Mercedes owner that means one workshop that services the car to the Mercedes-Benz schedule, diagnoses it properly when something goes wrong, and handles the annual rego inspection in the same visit.

If you are looking for a Mercedes mechanic in Sydney who works on European cars every day rather than now and then, that is what we do. We are not a dealership and we are not a general workshop, so the scan equipment, the parts supply and the experience in the building are all set up for cars like yours.

The Mercedes-Benz service schedule

Mercedes-Benz sets a scheduled service every 25,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, alternating between Service A and Service B. Your car tells you which one is due, and when, through the service indicator in the instrument cluster. A number of other items fall due at their own intervals on top of that. We carry all of it out as logbook servicing to schedule, with the service history recorded.

Service item Interval Applies to
Service A, oil and filter 25,000 km or 12 months All petrol and diesel
Service B, oil, filter and full inspection Alternates with Service A All petrol and diesel
Dust and pollen (cabin) filter 25,000 km or 24 months All models
Brake fluid 24 months All models
Air filter element 75,000 km or 36 months All petrol and diesel
Fuel filter 75,000 km or 36 months All diesel
Automatic transmission oil and filter 125,000 km 9G-Tronic

Beyond those, individual engines and drivelines carry their own items. Spark plugs, coolant, 7G-Tronic gearbox oil and 4MATIC transfer case oil all depend on what your car has. We read your car’s service data before we start and tell you what falls due at that visit.

What is included at each service

At every Service A, due at 25,000 km or 12 months:

  • Engine oil and oil filter replaced with oil carrying the Mercedes-Benz approval for your engine
  • Fluid levels checked and corrected to specification
  • Brakes and tyres checked, with the results written up for you rather than summarised verbally
  • Service indicator reset using manufacturer-level diagnostic tools

At every Service B, the following visit:

  • Everything in Service A above
  • Dust and pollen (cabin) filter replaced
  • Brake fluid replaced where it falls due at 24 months
  • Any additional items that fall due at that distance for your engine

The Service B inspection is not a glance over the car. It covers:

  • Windscreen and body, checked for damage
  • Wipers and washers, function checked and washers topped up
  • Horn, seat belts and interior and exterior lighting, checked for operation
  • Battery condition tested and the result recorded
  • Engine, cooling and fuel systems, checked for leaks, levels and damage
  • Underbody and exhaust system, checked for fitment and damage
  • Gearbox, steering and suspension, checked for play, leaks and damage
  • Wheels and tyres, tread depth recorded and pressures adjusted
  • Tyre repair kit expiry date checked where fitted
  • Brakes, pad and disc thickness recorded
  • Brake pipes and hoses, checked for leaks and damage
  • Service indicator reset
  • Road test to confirm the work

Keeping your Mercedes-Benz warranty valid

A new car warranty does not tie you to the dealership for servicing. Under Australian consumer law the warranty stays valid when the car is serviced to the manufacturer schedule, by a qualified workshop, using parts that meet or exceed the manufacturer specification. Our logbook servicing follows the Mercedes-Benz schedule set out above and uses genuine and OEM-quality parts that meet or exceed specification. That condition is part of the protection, not fine print under it.

Diagnostics built for Mercedes-Benz, not for everything

A generic scan tool will read a fault code. It will not talk to the individual control modules in a modern Mercedes, run the manufacturer test routines, or code a replacement component so the car accepts it. Our European car diagnostics run on manufacturer-level equipment, including the Autologic platform, which is the difference between knowing a warning light is on and knowing why.

Frequently Asked Questions: Mercedes-Benz Service Sydney

Do you service all Mercedes-Benz models at your Sydney workshop?

We service the full Mercedes-Benz passenger range, from the A-Class and CLA through the C-Class, E-Class and S-Class to the GLA, GLC, GLE and G-Class, as well as the V-Class and X-Class. If your model is not listed on this page, call and ask.

Do I need to go to a Mercedes-Benz dealership to keep my warranty?

Your new car warranty does not depend on dealership servicing. Under Australian consumer law it stays valid when the car is serviced to the Mercedes-Benz schedule by a qualified workshop, using parts that meet or exceed the manufacturer specification. That is how we carry out every logbook service, with the service history recorded.

How often should I service my Mercedes-Benz in Sydney?

Mercedes-Benz sets most passenger cars at 25,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, alternating between Service A and Service B. The service indicator on your dash shows which one is next and when it is due, and the table on this page sets out the items that fall due on their own intervals.

What are common Mercedes-Benz issues you repair?

The faults we diagnose and repair most often are:

  • Electrical faults, including infotainment, windows and lighting
  • Air suspension faults, particularly on the S-Class and E-Class
  • Gearbox and transmission faults
  • Engine misfires
  • Brake wear and vibration under braking

Each one starts with a proper diagnosis, and we explain what we found before any repair goes ahead.

Do you use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts?

We use genuine and OEM-quality parts that meet or exceed the Mercedes-Benz specification, and engine oil that carries the Mercedes-Benz approval for your engine. That is what keeps the service in line with the manufacturer schedule and your warranty intact.

Do you have Mercedes-Benz diagnostic tools?

We run manufacturer-level diagnostic equipment built for European vehicles, including the Autologic platform. It reads the individual control modules, runs the manufacturer test routines, codes replacement components and resets the Service A and Service B reminders.

What’s included in a Mercedes-Benz logbook service?

Every logbook service follows the Service A or Service B scope for your car:

  • Engine oil and filter replaced with Mercedes-Benz approved oil
  • Fluid levels checked and corrected
  • Brakes, tyres, lights and battery checked and recorded
  • Cabin filter and brake fluid replaced when they fall due
  • Service indicator reset and service history recorded

You get a written report of what was done and anything we found.

What makes Platinum Automotive Care different?

We are an independent European car specialist with over 60 years of servicing behind the workshop. Jason Mak oversees the work on every car, the workshop is NRMA Approved, ATE accredited and a member of the MTA NSW, and we explain what your car needs before any work starts.

Can you provide E-Safety Check inspections (Pink Slips) for Mercedes-Benz?

We are an authorised NSW inspection station, so we carry out E-Safety Checks on all Mercedes-Benz models. A Pink Slip is needed each year for cars over five years old, and it can be done while your Mercedes is in for its service. If anything fails, we repair it in the workshop and re-inspect it.

How do I book a Mercedes-Benz service in Sydney?

Call (02) 9316 8382 or use the online booking form. The workshop is at 32 Ocean Street, Pagewood, open Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, and we confirm whether your car is due for Service A or Service B before you commit to anything.
