As many people know, its very important to keep up with the maintenance on your Mercedes-Benz vehicle in order for it to run smoothly and efficiently for many years to come on the Huntington, NY roads. However, what is considered regular maintenance and when it is due can be very confusing for owners. To further help Long Island Mercedes-Benz owners be more educated about their Mercedes-Benz vehicles, we have laid out exactly what each maintenance is and when it should be done!First off, it is very important to note that scheduled maintenance for Mercedes-Benz vehicles goes in increments of 10,000 miles. Simply put, if you have put 10,000 miles you are due for maintenance. After you've reached 20,000 miles you are due for maintenance again, and so on. However, each 10,000 mile maintenance is different, therefore here is what maintenance you would need done for the next 40,000 miles of your vehicle. Each 10,000 maintenance is considered a Mercedes-Benz Service A, and every 20,000 maintenance is considered a Service B. What should you do every 10,000 miles: (Service A) Multipoint inspection Wiper blades replacement Oil and oil filter replacement Fluid level check and replacement if needed What to do every 20,000 miles: (Service B) Fluid level check and replacement if needed Multipoint inspection Wiper blades replacement Oil and oil filter replacement Cabin dust/combination filter replacement Brake fluid change What to do after 30,000 miles: (Service A) Multipoint inspection Wiper blades replacement Oil and oil filter replacement Fluid level check and replacement if needed What to do after 40,000 miles: (Service B) Oil and oil filter replacement Cabin dust/combination filter replacement Brake fluid change Fluid level check and replacement if needed Multipoint inspection Wiper blades replacement Let us help you keep up with the maintenance on your Mercedes-Benz.

The Super Bowl this year will officially be held in Atlanta, Georgia, and this is exciting news for Mercedes-Benz as it will be held at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium! The excitement will begin on February 3, 2019 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and for those who are not aware about this stadium, it truly is a reflection of the best or nothing vision of Mercedes-Benz. It's our time 🙌 Let's show them how we do it in the ATL! #SuperBowl #MBStadium @atlsuperbowl53: https://t.co/xSUAbJ9CzT pic.twitter.com/YBcX4zOw5e — MercedesBenzStadium (@MBStadium) February 5, 2018 The Mercedes-Benz Stadium has officially been open since 2017, with it being constructed to replace the previous Georgia Dome. The stadium boasts 2,000,000 square feet and can seat a maximum of 75,000 people. The brand-new stadium also boasts over 600 concessions, 24 bars and restaurants, as well as over 1,000 beer taps for stadium visitors to choose from.    The outside of the stadium is also just as magnificent as what is offered inside. The stadium sits at an impressive height of 305 feet, or translated into 30 stories high. Right on the building, you can see the Mercedes-Benz star standing high and proud. What is most intriguing about the stadium is the open-air aspect to it. The stadium was constructed with a retractable roof and is only one of five NFL stadiums that is constructed as such. The retractable roof portion of the building was finally completed in July of 2018, just in time for the next Super Bowl!    Now we have yet another reason to be excited for the Super Bowl this year, and that is due to it being at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium! We hope this year's Super Bowl showcases "The Best Or Nothing" mindset Mercedes-Benz strives for. For more information on this year's Super Bowl, check out the Mercedes-Benz Stadium's website!

While usually our dealership, Mercedes-Benz of Huntington, is located in Huntington, New York, today for Halloween we are officially located in "Hauntington". For those that have not heard, today the town of Huntington is officially being renamed to Hauntington, thanks to 7-year-old Angelica Cunningham who wrote a letter to Huntington Town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci back in August. As News 12 Long Island reports, Cunningham wrote to the town in late August with a special request – add an “A” to Huntington to make it “Hauntington” on Halloween, and got the idea from her "Monster High" doll named Ari Hauntington. She was encouraged by her parents to write a letter to Lupinacci and the town board, and they all agreed it was a fabulous idea! The town board agreed with Cunningham in an unanimous vote, and she was presented with a certificate of appreciation at her school by Chad Lupinacci himself. So many signs around the town of Huntington will be displaying the word "Hauntington" rather than Huntington. It looks like we are going to have to start changing our name to Mercedes-Benz of Hauntington come next Halloween, as Lupinacci says he would like to make this a yearly tradition!  Happy Halloween from Mercedes-Benz of "Hauntington"! We hope you and your family have a safe and fun Halloween!

This weekend, we added another reason to be immensely proud of the Mercedes-Benz brand. Lewis Hamilton finished fourth in the Mexican Grand Prix for the Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 team, which was enough to see him crowned Formula 1 World Champion for the fifth time in his career! It's a great accomplishment, to say the least, and we could not be more proud of Lewis, as well as the Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 team. Here is a run-down of how the race went.- Full grandstands, ecstatic fans and a dry track: the Autodromo Hernandez Rodriguez showed itself in the best possible light on Sunday. - Lewis and Valtteri started the Mexican Grand Prix from third and fifth place respectively. - Lewis immediately gained one position and moved up to second. Meanwhile, Valtteri successfully defended fifth. - On Lap 11, Lewis and Valtteri made a double stop and switched from UltraSoft to SuperSoft tyres. - Lewis came in for his second stop on Lap 47, followed one lap later by Valtteri. Both had UltraSofts fitted for their second stint. - After 62 laps, the team took advantage of a Virtual Safety Car to bring Valtteri in for a third stop, enabling him to switch to HyperSofts. - Lewis finished the race in P4, one place ahead of Valtteri. - This was enough for Lewis to wrap up the Driver’s World Championship. It is the second year in a row that he has done so in Mexico.A great win for both Lewis, as well as Mercedes-Benz. Here is what Lewis had to say after the race. "Honestly, it's very hard to realise it at the moment. It's something I dreamed of, but I never in a million years thought I'd be standing here today a five-time World Champion," said Lewis. "I never knew that was going to happen and I am just so grateful to everyone who has helped me be here. I want to say a big thank you to all the fans here for making the Mexican Grand Prix as special as it is."Yet another reason why Mercedes-Benz stands behind it's motto, "The Best or Nothing." Congratulations to both Lewis Hamilton as well as the Mercedes-Benz Formula 1 Racing Team on their amazing accomplishment!

The latest news from Mercedes-Benz USA is simply electrifying - literally. It has just been announced that Mercedes-Benz will be releasing a new all-electric vehicle for the year 2020, the EQC! The new EQC will be the first vehicle produced under the naming nomenclature, EQ. With an uncompromising blend of comfort, performance, design, intelligence and technology, the EQC creates a new path not only for electric vehicles, but also for the Mercedes-Benz brand.The EQC has the same design standards as most Mercedes-Benz models do, but adds it's own twist to distinguish itself as an all-new type of Mercedes-Benz vehicle. Grille and headlamps are combined in a sleek black-panel surface at front, an arrangement accentuated by an LED Light Band at the top. On the inside, the interior exudes a sense of ultimate control from the driver, while rose-gold accents give the electric vehicle its own clear aesthetic. The interior is a perfect combination of modern technology with classic luxury.Of course with an all-new model comes all-new technology from Mercedes-Benz. Equipped with the all-new MBUX media system, the EQC responds to the driver´s natural, conversational language. The system helps to govern the car´s functions and learns over time. Here, it´s been engineered with additional EQ settings to help manage the vehicle´s charge status, energy flow, range display and other features of electric driving.

October is soon approaching, and that means that Fall Car Care Month will be starting! As we go into the fall and ease into colder weather, the fall season is a perfect time to catch up on your vehicle care. There are many things you can do during Fall Car Care Month to give your beloved Mercedes-Benz some TLC, therefore here are five car care tips from us at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington. Check the battery As the weather starts to get cooler, many older batteries tend to start to lose charge. The last thing you would want is to be stuck in the cold with a dead battery! That is why Fall Car Care Month is the perfect time to get your battery inspected, and if needed replace the battery for the new season. Check wipers Being able to see is just as important as being seen. With a new season, it is always good to look into whether or not your wiper blades need replacing. If you feel like your windshield wipers are streaking, making chattering noise, or if they have visible signs of wear, now is the time to replace the wiper blades. Check the fluids Keeping your fluids topped off and full is important during any time of the year, but it’s a great idea to check your vehicle’s fluids during Fall Car Care Month and have whatever fluids are diminished topped off. Also, if you feel that your fluids are constantly running low, it might be a good idea to get the vehicle inspected for any leaks before the winter begins. Check the heating and defrosting system Unfortunately, summer cannot last forever and soon we will have to start cranking up the heat in both our homes, as well as our vehicles. Therefore, now is a good time to get your heating and defrosting system checked and if needed do any repairs. That way you can stay toasty and warm when the cold weather sets in! Check the tires Going into the new season, it’s important to go in with as much traction as possible! That’s why you should check your tires for any tread loss or wear that could be problematic later on. While the fall has milder weather, you are going to want to put your “best tire forward” for the icy winter season!Fall Car Care Month is a great time for motorists in the Huntington and Long Island area to make sure their vehicles are in great condition for the new season. We here at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington understand that, and we are ready to help with whatever fall care or maintenance you desire! Give us a call at 631-549-2325 or make an appointment online with our Service Department!

While the A-Class has been available over seas for some time now, the United States is in for a treat as the A-Class has been completely redesigned for 2019. Since it's big debut in Brooklyn back in July, we have not been more excited for a new Mercedes-Benz model to come to the showrooms. The new A-Class is going to set a new standard for compact entry-level luxury sedans.  Just because a vehicle is considered "compact" does not mean that it is any less sporty or athletic. The A-Class proves this with a strong, muscular, and attractive exterior that is pleasing to the eye. A long, low hood, pronounced shoulders, bold contours and assertive stance make this vehicle stand out. Any one looking to enter into the Mercedes-Benz brand will love the look of the A-Class.The interior is just as bold and promising as the exterior, with a stunning modern design as well as a great amount of space for a vehicle it's size. The free-flowing look of the dashboard, as well as the modern trim accenting will make you feel ready to conquer anything when you are inside of the vehicle.The technology offered in the A-Class is up to par with its modern looks on the inside. Not only does it offer optional Driver Assistance features adapted from the S-Class, it revolutionizes the relationship between car and driver thanks to the Mercedes-Benz User Experience system (MBUX). The new MBUX system allows you to access your multimedia in a variety of ways, such as touchpad, touchscreen, touch control, or voice control! The A-Class is jam-packed with tech features that anyone who is experiencing a Mercedes-Benz vehicle for the first time will enjoy. Standard smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, LED headlamps and taillamps, Panorama roof, 7-inch Digital Instrument Cluster and 7-inch Touchscreen Multimedia Display are just some of the standard features you will find once the A-Class is released to the public. The A-Class will feature a 2.0L inline-4 turbocharged engine that will produce 188 horsepower and 221 lb-ft. of torque, paired with a 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission. 4MATIC all-wheel-drive will also be available for those that want all-wheel-drive, like most other Mercedes-Benz models.
