April is National Car Care Month, meaning that there is no better time for Suffolk County drivers to get informed and educated on the needs of their car. Whether you live in Huntington, Northport, or even Fort Salonga, it’s important that you are checking on your car occasionally to make sure that everything is in tip-top shape. The best way to check that everything is in good working order within your luxury sedan, SUV, coupe, or convertible, is to get a Multi-Point Inspection done. Getting a Multi-Point Inspection is similar to getting a check-up done at the doctor’s office. Having them done regularly on your C 300, E-Class ( the MotorTrend Car of the Year) , or GLA 250 can help you find problems within your car before they start and get worse down the road, or even in some cases, stranded on the side of the highway! Although in that case, Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance will be there to help 24/7, no one wants to go through the process of having to get a tow from the Long Island Expressway or waiting for a jump start on the side of the Northern State Parkway. At Mercedes-Benz of Huntington, our skilled technicians within our dealership’s Service Department go through multiple aspects of your vehicle, and with hundreds of years of combined experience, you can rest easy knowing that your Mercedes-Benz is in good hands. To make car care even easier for Mercedes-Benz owners on Long Island, our Service Department will be holding a Service clinic on Wednesday, April 28th 2021 to help ring in National Car Care Month, where we will be giving complimentary Multi-Point Inspections, topping off fluids, and giving complimentary car washes. This is a great opportunity to take your first steps into making sure your vehicle gets what it needs at a fraction of the cost! Plus, we’re giving away gifts, snacks, refreshments, and discounting all our accessories! Schedule your appointment for our Service Clinic today! www.mbhuntington.com/serviceclinic/ Now all this sounds great, but you may be wondering, what does a Mercedes-Benz Multi-Point Inspection include?

October is National Car Care Month, making this the perfect time to read up on how to best prepare your Mercedes-Benz for the coming fall months. Saying goodbye to the warm weather and wineries on the North Fork or even out East of the Island such as the Wölffer Estate Vineyard, Roanoke Vineyards, the Macari Vineyards, or even Del Vino Vineyards in Northport is hard, but Suffolk County and New York specifically, gets extremely cold in the fall and winter months, so making some changes in how you take care of your car is integral to it’s lifespan and overall the quality of how your car will drive under the harsh chilling conditions and circumstances. Here are some great points to keep in mind when taking care of your car from Mercedes-Benz of Huntington or anywhere else, this fall and winter. Check Your Tires. Whether you’re using Michelin, Goodyear, or even Pirelli, your tires play an obvious but important role for your car. They endure the hazards of the road to keep you on your way to wherever life takes you whether that be work, groceries at the King Kullen on New York Avenue, Stop & Shop in Huntington Village, IGA Supermarket in Fort Salonga, your doctor’s office in Greenlawn, or even the Brentwood Train Station. You can make sure your tires are kept in good condition by checking your tread and pressure about once a week. Although you may have some time before purchasing your winter tires from our Tire Store with our Parts Department, they still may be in need of replacement, especially since the constantly up-and-down weather in the fall causes tire pressures to drop and rise. If you can’t tell if your tires need replacing check out our other blog post “ How To Tell If You Need New Tires On Your Vehicle “ or bring your luxury sedan, SUV, coupe, or convertible into our Service Department to have them looked at by one of our knowledgeable Service Advisors. Check Your Fluids. With all the summer road tripping to the Catskills, Adirondacks, Hudson Valley, Bear Mountain, and even across the country driving to colleges, like the University of Albany, the University of Rhode Island, or even somewhere in Suffolk County such as Stony Brook University, your vehicle uses more of its resources than you may think. Be sure to check on your coolant, engine oil, power steering, wiper, brake, and transmission fluid. If they seem to be low, stop into our service drive, where you won’t even have to leave your car and your fluids can be topped off! Check Your Windshield Wipers and Your Lights. When the Cold Spring Harbor roads start getting colder, making them more icy and slippery, it’s imperative that you are able to see properly by having wipers that work, as well as that you are able to be seen by checking to see if your headlights and tail lamps are in working condition. Not only will the roads become more challenging to drive on, but it will also become darker sooner in the day in New York, an even bigger reason to make sure that both your lights and wipers are in good condition! Look Over Your Belts and Hoses. When you don’t regularly check your hoses and belts, it can lead to an unexpected high repair cost when you finally see a hose is too loose or a belt is far too damaged to drive your car. Catch them with some time to spare with regular inspections and have them replaced once they start showing signs of wear and tear. Inspect Your Brakes. While you should be checking your brakes year round, during the colder months is a time when driving with inadequate brake pads or rotors is especially risky. Brakes in bad condition can lead to danger on wet, icy, snow covered, or slushy roads in the winter. Have our Service Department take a look at the condition of your brakes before the cold approaches. You don’t want to be stranded on the side of Commack Road after a winter mishap, so its better to get your brake repair in Huntington before it's too late! Test Your Battery. Perhaps arguably one of the most important things you’ll want to check on is your battery. In the summer, the heat drains your battery, while the fall and winter chill kills them. The time in between fall to winter is the time when most people’s batteries end up needing to be replaced so be sure to have your battery tested for corrosion, starting and charging, having the fluids and charge checked, to be sure you don’t end up stranded with a dead battery! Although Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance is available to give you a jump start or assist you in getting a tow, or you can use our guide to jump start your vehicle, you can avoid the hassle of using your time by routinely checking and testing your battery. Since the fall time is the transition to winter, it is important that you check all these things now to keep you safe and comfortable in your car in the approaching cold winter weather. After all, you deserve “The Best Or Nothing” so why should your vehicle deserve any less? For any assistance needed to prepare, come into our Service Department, give them a call for any questions or needed repairs at (631)486-0165, or use our online scheduler to make sure you and your Mercedes-Benz are cold weather prepared!

We’ve all been there. Driving, running errands, whether it be shopping at the Walt Whitman Mall in Huntington, or shopping for groceries at Whole Foods in Commack, when suddenly our dashboard illustrates a warning light. Fifty percent of people either ignore said warning light to worry about it at a later time, while the other fifty percent of people rush to their web browser on their IPhone or Android to find out what could possibly have gone amiss in their GLA 250, C 300, or even their E 350. If you are one of the latter fifty percent of people, you are in luck! We’re here to mitigate your curiosity. Tire Pressure Light In the case that this light appears on your dashboard, it simply means that one (or multiple) of your tires has low pressure. On newer cars in the fleet, your dash can even tell you what tire pressure each of your tires is currently at, helping you find out exactly which one needs more air. Gas Light When this warning light appears, it means that your vehicle’s gas/fuel level is getting low. The great thing for those that have the “Hey Mercedes” feature, is that you can ask her to take you to the nearest gas station, or even a gas station on your way home. For example, you can say “Hey Mercedes, take me to the nearest Commack gas station.” and she will figure out which is closest to you! Check Engine Light Some may call it a submarine, but this is indeed a check engine light. This could be a problem with your engine system, the exhaust, the fuel injection system, or even the ignition system. When this light comes on, you should take your vehicle into our Service Department in the Dix Hills vicinity to get looked at. Seat Belt Indicator This one is one of the easier signs to recognize, you may have even seen it this morning when you accidentally forgot to put your seatbelt on while rushing to get to your doctor’s appointment in East Northport! Simply putting your (and your passenger’s) seat belt on gets rid of this light. Battery Light This light means that the battery is not being charged, or that it has lost its charge in your vehicle. You may require a jump or even to replace the battery. Have one of our staff members from the Service Department help you with a Diagnosis to see what is needed. Airbag Light The airbag light means that your SRS system may have a fault. This SRS malfunction could result in your airbag not being deployed in case of any accident or emergency. It is recommended that you see Service to prevent any danger that could result from not having a functional airbag. Brake Wear The brake light means that either your brake rotors or pads have been worn, and are in need of replacing. Parking Brake Light The parking brake light is as easy as it sounds, your parking brake is in place. Many of those that live in the sloped areas of Cold Spring Harbor leave this on accidentally when parking in the street. If driving, release the parking brake so as to not damage your vehicle. Coolant Light This light could mean that either your vehicle’s coolant level is low, or that there could be an issue with the coolant system. ABS Light The ABS Light signifies that your ABS brake system may have a malfunction. You will still be able to start and stop but extra functions may be limited such as, Electronic Stability Program, Brake Assist, and Anti-Locking, on your brakes. ESP/ESC Light Electronic Stability Program / Electronic Stability Control functions are limited, meaning that when making turns, skidding on slippery surfaces, or braking, you do not have the extra stability the ESP program provides. These warning lights are the most common that appear on dashboards for Centerport, Greenlawn, Northport, and surrounding areas’ driver's vehicles. Should you have any more questions, concerns, trouble setting up an appointment for your vehicle’s concern , or even if you see a light that doesn’t appear on this list, feel free to contact our Service Department to have someone assist you with your apprehension.

How many times have you been running errands in the Huntington/ Greenlawn area in your Benz, when an unknown message has appeared on your dashboard? Worry not, we are here to explain what a few of them mean! When your vehicle displays a “Service A Required” or a “Service B Required” message, contrary to popular belief, there is actually nothing wrong with your vehicle, you are actually just due for a maintenance service. Maintenance on your vehicle should be done every 10,000 miles, or yearly; whichever comes first. You may be wondering why you still have to get service done on your vehicle yearly, even if your mileage isn’t very high, and the answer is pretty simple actually! If you do not use your luxury vehicle often, your vehicle’s fluids are still sitting in your Benz, even if you are not! Changing those fluids are a vital part of your yearly maintenance process. Luckily for you, service in the Elwood/Commack area is quick and efficient for customers of Mercedes Benz of Huntington. Whether you are sure or not of which service you are due for, our Service Representatives are able to help you determine which services your vehicle may be in need of. To break it down, an A service is the first service done on your vehicle at 10,000 miles, or a year after you have received the vehicle. After that, an A service is done every other service following. An A Service is a bit less involved and includes: A synthetic oil & filter replacement Topping off of the fluids necessary in your vehicle Correction and inspection of your tires An inspection of your brakes This service takes approximately an hour, so you will be in and out in a breeze, and waiting will go by quick in our customer lounge filled with amenities for your comfort. In between A Services, are the B Services, which are also very important to your vehicle to keep it running as smoothly as you deserve! A B Service is done every 2 years or every 20,000 miles, also whichever comes first. The B Service is a bit more involved than an A service, since it is done with a longer time in between and at a higher mileage. The B Service Includes: A synthetic oil/ filter replacement Topping off of the fluids necessary in your vehicle Correction and inspection of your tires Replacement of your cabin/dust filter Replacement of your windshield wipers Complete brake fluid flush Inspection of your brakes, poly-v belt, and the underbody for damage To further fit the convenience of our customers, loaner vehicles and/or pick up and delivery services are available for this service given that the service takes roughly 2 hours and more.
