Common questions about Mercedes-Benz A and B service procedures. Let Joe's Garage Inc. Mercedes-Benz service shop in Southampton, NY explain the Mercedes-Benz Maintenance Program.

Mercedes-Benz vehicles use the Flexible Service System, or FSS, which displays indicators on the dash panel of your vehicle. The FSS is a series of maintenance intervals your Mercedes-Benz vehicle will require throughout its lifetime.

The most common are Service A and Service B, which vary with the age and model of your Mercedes-Benz so please contact us to learn which service is due for your vehicle.

At Joe's Garage Inc., we use the latest Mercedes-Benz specific diagnostic scan tools and equipment to properly service your vehicle to factory standards. We offer factory similar A and B service schedules, making Joe's Garage Inc. Southampton’s choice for Mercedes-Benz service.
