Most Common Auto Parts to Replace

May 14th, 2022 by

No matter how well you care for your vehicle, some Mercedes-Benz parts simply aren’t meant to last forever. These are the auto parts we replace most at Keyes European.

Air Filters

Generally, we recommend that you change your air filter every 12,000 to 15,000 miles. This can vary greatly, depending on the vehicle you drive and the environment you drive in. If your filter becomes too clogged or worn it will no longer function effectively. It restricts the amount of air your engine gets which can affect your performance and diminish your gas mileage.

Battery

There are lots of factors that play into your battery’s lifespan. Even taking every precaution, they typically only last up to five years. You can get the most out of your battery if you avoid these hazards.

  • Frequently taking short drives, not giving your battery time to charge
  • Having loose or corroded connections
  • Leaving your headlights or interior lights on overnight
  • Having a parasitic drain

Tires

On average, tires are built to last up to six years. However, we run the risk of damaging our tires every day. It’s important to keep a watchful eye on your tires. Driving a tire that isn’t in peak condition diminishes your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and can be downright dangerous. You want to make sure it has at least 4/32 inches of tread. They also should be replaced if you notice unusual wear such as cracks or bulges.
