What Happens When You Skip Annual Service?

There’s just no better way to keep your Mercedes-Benz vehicle in top condition than with routine Mercedes-Benz service and care. Bringing your vehicle down to our service center for inspections and upgrades may feel like just another thing to remember.

But the truth of the matter is that routine service is essential to the longevity, comfort, and safety of your vehicle. Skipping service can have serious consequences, including some of the following.

Your Vehicle Will Be Less Responsive

Service helps to keep your car safe by ensuring maximum responsiveness on every ride. When the parts aren’t working at top capacity, your vehicle responds more slowly, and you won’t be as protected.

You Have Replacement Costs

Routine inspections allow your maintenance team to catch early signs of damage or wear. That means you can replace parts as soon as they begin to wear down, and before they cause damage to surrounding parts and systems.

When you skip those inspections, you’ll likely see repair and replacement costs rise.

Your Vehicle is Less Efficient

By scheduling routine services, like oil changes, you help to keep your vehicle running as efficiently as possible. If you notice your gas efficiency goes down, it’s usually an indication that your Mercedes-Benz vehicle is in need of service.

Your Vehicle Loses Value

Routine service and care will help your vehicle to retain its value, which is very useful if you plan to sell or trade it in down the line. A little bit of service and car care can go a long way when it comes to getting a return on your car’s worth.

Here at Mercedes-Benz of Burlington, we make it easy to get the care your car needs every time. Schedule service you can trust—and avoid unfortunate side effects—at our dealership today.
