Expert Care for Your Mercedes at Miramar Automotive and Transmission
When you own a Mercedes-Benz, you get to enjoy luxury and performance brought together by cutting-edge technology and precision engineering. However, enjoying all that is dependent on taking care of it, which means you need to stay on top of routine maintenance to ensure your car keeps giving you the powerful and smooth performance you expect from it.
At Miramar Automotive and Transmission, we specialize in providing exceptional care for your Mercedes. Whether you need routine maintenance or serious repairs, we’re ready to help keep your car in peak condition.
Why Maintaining Your Mercedes Matters
Your Mercedes is designed with precision and innovative techniques, which makes them fun and exciting to drive. Those same innovations means they often require specialized care, and that skipping maintenance can lead to expensive repairs and reduced performance. Some reasons we highly recommend staying on top of your regular maintenance includes:
- Performance: Keep your Mercedes performing at its best.
- Safety: Brake checks, tire rotations, and fluid changes help keep your car’s safety features working the way they should.
- Preventing major repairs: Addressing minor issues early during scheduled maintenance can help prevent them from escalating into major problems.
- Resale value: When you maintain your Mercedes, it holds its value better, so you can get more out of your investment in the future.
Signs that Your Mercedes Needs Service
So how do you know when it’s time to bring your Mercedes in for service? Here are some common signs to keep an eye out for:
- Dashboard warning lights: We all know the dreaded check engine light, but also pay attention to the others, like the service light, brake light, and oil pressure light. If you’re not sure what a light means, bring it in, and we’ll take a look.
- Unusual noises: From squealing brakes to a rattling engine, even grinding or ticking noises, anything outside of the ordinary from your car is worth looking into.
- Rough idling or driving: Your Mercedes is designed to give you a smooth ride, so if you notice any vibrations or if your car hesitates to accelerate smoothly, you may want to check into potential engine or transmission issues.
- Leaking fluids: If you see oil, coolant, or transmission fluid under your car, it needs immediate attention.
- Decreasing fuel efficiency: Have you noticed you’re having to stop at the pump more often? It may be time to have a mechanic check for dirty filters or other problems with your engine.
- Unresponsive Brakes: If your brakes are spongy, grinding, or not responding as quickly as they used to, they need service fast — it’s a major safety problem!

Mercedes FAQs
How often should I get my Mercedes serviced?
The general rule of thumb for Mercedes service intervals is every 10,000 to 12,000 miles, but this can also depend on the age of your car and your driving habits. We recommend speaking with one of our skilled technicians to set up a service schedule that works for you.
What type of oil does my Mercedes need?
Mercedes-Benz vehicles use synthetic oil, though the specific type changes based on the model. Our technicians will only use the best oils to ensure peak engine performance.
Why do Mercedes vehicles require such specialized care?
Your Mercedes is the product of advanced technology and precision engineering, so it requires expertise and very specific tools for its maintenance and repairs.
What should I do if my Mercedes’ check engine light comes on?
First of all, don’t ignore it! The light is there for a reason, and ignoring it can make a small problem turn into a big one. Bring your car to us for diagnostics so we can help you resolve the problem.
Can I get my Mercedes serviced at an independent shop, or does it have to be a dealership?
No dealership required! At Miramar Automotive and Transmission, we offer dealership-quality service — or better — with personalized care and competitive pricing.
