Mercedes Servicing That Doesn’t Break The Bank

If you were to return to your original dealership every time your Mercedes needed a service, over time you would be paying thousands and thousands of dollars unnecessarily.

Mercedes services can be notoriously expensive, but they don’t need to be. Our expert team receives ongoing Mercedes-specific training—in parts, processes and techniques as they develop—meaning that it is possible to get a high-end service without the price tag.

What’s more, we include handbook stamping as routine upon completion of your service, which has been demonstrated to significantly improve your vehicle’s resale value.

All Original Equipment Manufacturer Parts

If, during our assessment and testing, we locate a part that needs to be replaced or upgraded, we can do it onsite in our workshop. With a large selection of specialist parts available in-house, we minimise the waiting period to get your car back to peak performance condition.

It’s imperative that Mercedes vehicles are fitted with Mercedes parts, rather than a cheaper alternative. It’s how we can ensure that your car is kept in the condition that the manufacturer intended, and will serve you well for many years to come.

Have you noticed that your Mercedes seems to knock when braking or turning?

It’s likely a problem with your suspension bushes—an issue not uncommon in Mercedes. The bushes wear over time, allowing excessive movement. This is the knocking that you hear. Pulse Automotive can inspect the bushes and replace any that may be working excessively. If needed, we can also perform a wheel realignment to keep your tyre wear to a minimum.

Mercedes FAQs

Mercedes recommends servicing intervals roughly every 12 months or 15,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. However, actual need can depend on factors like your driving habits, amount of stop-start or highway driving, weather, and load (carrying heavy payloads or towing).
At Pulse Auto, our Mercedes Benz Service Specialists will help establish the ideal service schedule for your specific model and usage, ensuring safety, performance, and long-term reliability.

When you follow your Mercedes logbook service schedule, it means servicing exactly as the manufacturer prescribes. A standard logbook service from Pulse Auto includes (but is not limited to):

  • Engine oil & filter replacement
  • Checking & topping up all fluids (coolant, brake fluid, transmission, etc.)
  • Inspecting brakes: pads, rotors, lines
  • Tyre inspection (wear, pressure, alignment)
  • Steering & suspension checks
  • Belts, hoses, filters (air, fuel, cabin) inspections
  • Electrical & safety systems (lights, battery, safety features)
  • Diagnostic scan for any fault codes
  • Road-test to check driveability

Our approach ensures you stay compliant with Mercedes specifications, keeps your warranty safe, and upholds the high standard of Mercedes Benz Specialist Care.

Yes. We use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or manufacturer approved equivalents, so that components match the original quality, fit, and safety. Our Trusted Qualified Mercedes Mechanic team never compromises when it comes to parts — because using the right parts matters for performance, durability, and warranty conformity.

No — servicing at a non-dealer workshop will not void your manufacturer warranty under Australian laws, as long as certain conditions are met:

  • The service is done by suitably qualified mechanics following Mercedes’ specification and maintenance schedule.
  • Any parts and fluids used are fit for purpose (genuine or approved quality).
  • You maintain proper records (logbook entries, service records etc.).

Pulse Auto offers you Expert Care Without the Dealer Price Tag, while ensuring legal, warranty-safe servicing provided by Mercedes Benz Service Specialists.

Yes — some Mercedes models, especially those with direct injection petrol engines or advanced fuel systems, can develop carbon build-up in intake valves, throttle bodies, or EGR systems. This happens because in direct injection designs, fuel does not wash over intake valves like in older port injection systems, so deposits can accumulate from oil vapour, blow-by gases, etc.

Symptoms may include rough idle, reduced throttle response, decreased fuel economy, misfires or hesitation under acceleration.

At Pulse Auto, our Mercedes Benz Specialist Care includes preventative inspections and carbon cleaning when needed, helping to restore performance, reduce emissions, and prolong engine life.

If a warning light appears:

  • Don’t ignore it — some lights indicate urgent problems (e.g. engine temperature, oil pressure).
  • Take note of the warning light symbol, any accompanying message (if available), and any symptoms such as loss of power, unusual sounds or smells.
  • Bring your car to a Trusted Qualified Mercedes Mechanic for a diagnostic scan.

Pulse Auto offers prompt diagnostics to interpret warning codes, assess urgency, and advise what’s safe to drive vs what should be addressed immediately. That’s part of our Mercedes Benz Specialist Care promise.

This depends quite a bit on driving conditions, style, and environment. Rough guidelines are:

  • Brake pads: often between 30,000 to 60,000 kilometres, depending on use
  • Rotors (discs): roughly up to 80,000 kilometres, or more, if well maintained, but heat, braking habits, and load can reduce this

During each service, our Mercedes Benz Service Specialist team inspects pad thickness, rotor condition (warp, thickness, scoring), and will recommend replacement using genuine parts when needed, so braking remains safe and effective.
