Keyes European Mercedes-Benz Service 101: Engine Service

Our Mercedes-Benz service center is a reliable, efficient place for you to get all of your routine vehicle service done. While many of our drivers are familiar with oil changes and tire rotations, not everyone knows the ins and outs of other important maintenance tasks like vehicle engine service.

What is engine service?

Every part of the engine works together to achieve that common goal: running your car. The multi-step process of engine service makes sure each piece is doing its part and not being detrimental to the overall efficiency and effectiveness. These are the steps we follow:

• Inspection – a visual check of all major engine components.
• Filters – Air filters are pulled and replaced if needed like if they are bogged down with debris.
• Fuel pump flow – Our experts make sure the fuel pump is allowing an adequate amount of gasoline to reach the engine.
• Ignition wires – Checked digitally and visually, the spark plugs are an easy part to replace as needed.

What happens if you skip engine service?

If you drive your car many miles and never stop for engine service, it’s going to be detrimental in the long run. Your car might use up more gas, run slower/less effectively, or ultimately break down when one malfunctioning part leads to another. Service your engine at least a couple of times a year, and you’ll be in the clear.
