Those in the Huntington, Commack, Northport and surrounding Suffolk County and Nassau County areas know just how important it is to winterize your Mercedes-Benz in New York to make sure it runs in the best condition all throughout the colder seasons, up until spring and summer. After all, you’re going to want your GLS 450 SUV to be in perfect condition to take on your ski trip with it’s able space and conveniently sized trunk, or for your AMG C 43 Convertible to last well into the summer without incident for all the trips to the beaches and vineyards out east on beautiful Long Island. Lucky for drivers on Long Island, Mercedes-Benz of Huntington has an experienced Service Department known for their service quality and knowledge on keeping your Mercedes-Benz in pristine condition. Here are some of the most important tips from our Master Technicians! Tires In the winter months, your tires keep you from sliding around on Jericho Turnpike due to frost, sleet, snow, and ice. Keep an eye on your tread depth and tire pressure, and optionally, you can even put snow tires from our tire shop on your vehicle if you’d like to be extra safe! Wipers and Fluid With the snowy and rainy weather conditions in the Northeast, you will want to make sure that you maintain as much visibility as possible to stay safe. This starts with making sure your wipers are not in need of replacing, as making sure you have plenty of wiper fluid. Make sure that your wiper fluid is not frozen as well. This is where the remote start option in your Mercedes-Me  and Mercedes-Me Connect App comes in handy! Additionally you can make sure that your headlamp bulbs do not need replacing. Brakes It’s so simple that it almost does not need to be said, but everyone could get very forgetful around the winter time between balancing the rush of the holidays, snow-days, work, school, grocery shopping at Stop & Shop near Elwood and East Northport, the IGA in Fort Salong a, or the Whole Foods in Commack, or even the debut of the 2021 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class DIGITAL that has everyone on the edge of our seats!  With all of that on our plate, it would slip our minds too. Be sure to have your brake pads and discs checked at our Service Department to make sure that they are safe to drive with on the icy roads of the Northern State Parkway. Battery The cold weather imposes a threat to weaken your battery, especially if it had already been weakened prior to the cold season. Be sure to get your battery life tested, because no one wants to be stuck on the LIE with a dead battery in the cold! In the off case that your battery does die and you are stranded somewhere, do not fear! Mercedes-Benz Roadside is a valuable resource that could be used 24/7, for a useful jump, help getting a tow, and more. Belts/Hoses Colder weather causes the belts and hoses that otherwise run smoothly in your car, to become more brittle and fragile. Check to make sure you do not need a belt and hose replacement before the cold weather causes a hose break. Coolant and Engine Oil Both are of the most important fluids in your car, coolant prevents the engine from freezing, while your engine runs on the oil. Make sure you have enough Coolant/Anti-Freeze in the car, as well as check to see that your oil hasn’t thickened. If all of these aspects in your Mercedes-Benz look to be in tip-top shape, you can have peace of mind taking on the winter roads in your MotorTrend Car of the Year E 450, GLA 250, or even GLE 350, whether that be Route 110, New York Avenue, Park Avenue, the Southern State Parkway, or even the Sagtikos Parkway! Should you need any help winterizing your car, you can give us a call or use our online scheduler to set up a service appointment at our award winning dealership on the border of Suffolk County and Nassau County. Stay safe, and happy driving!

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!

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. If you are looking to set up an appointment for these services, look no further and give our Service Center a call to help you set up an appointment with ease ! 631-486-0282

It is important to make sure your vehicle is running in tip-top shape when the cold weather starts to set in on Long Island. If your vehicle is not performing at it's best, or if there are underlying issues that you are not aware of on your vehicle, it will only get worse with freezing temperatures, salt on the roads, as well as wintry weather. That is why it is a good idea to "winterize" your vehicle at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington to ensure that your vehicle can withstand anything the winter season throws at it. Here are some tips of what to check in your vehicle and prepare for winter. Checking Windshield Wipers / Fluid With all of the wet and snowy weather coming it's way to Long Island and Huntington, it's a good idea to make sure your windshield wipers are in working order, and there is plenty of windshield fluid in your car. You do not want to be driving on the Long Island Expressway and not be able to clear your windshield from snowy debris! Come drive right into our service drive in our Mercedes-Benz Service Center near Huntington Station, NY, where our attendants can check your wipers and top-off your windshield fluid for you! Check Coolant Coolant, also known as anti-freeze, keeps your engine from freezing during the harsh cold temperatures we can experience during the winter. If it is cold enough for your engine to freeze, you definitely do not want to be stranded with a frozen engine in freezing temperatures! Be sure to bring your vehicle in to have the coolant level checked, and to check for any coolant leaks under your vehicle. If you would like to top-off your coolant yourself, we offer Mercedes-Benz genuine coolant for sale at our Parts Department! One way or another, we are here to help you and your vehicle not freeze this winter. Check Belts and Hoses Frigid temperatures can make the essential belts and hoses that have your vehicle run smoothly become brittle and weak. Our Mercedes-Benz Service Center can help prevent costly repairs should a belt or hose break by checking them for you through a Multi-Point Inspection. While you wait for your vehicle to be repaired you can enjoy all of our customer amenities that our customers rave about, and be on your way in no time. Check Tires Good tires are essential to staying on track during any journeys you make in treacherous and less-than-ideal road conditions. It is important to check your tire tread and your tire pressure and make sure they are up-to-par. Just as it is easy for you to slip and fall during icy and snow conditions when not wearing proper footwear, it is the same thing for cars. If you drive with heavily worn tires in icy and snowy conditions, it is easier for your vehicle to lose control. The staff here at our Service Department are here to help! Just drive into our Mercedes-Benz Service Center and have an attendant check your tread and adjust your tire pressure for you. If you are in the market for new tires for your Mercedes-Benz, you can do so from the comfort of your own home through our online tire center! It has never been easier to get the tires you need on your vehicle through Mercedes-Benz of Huntington. Check Battery Batteries tend to weaken during cold weather, so if you have a already weak battery the cold weather will only make it weaker. No one wants to find out they have a dead battery and be stranded in the cold. It is important to be proactive and make sure your battery is in proper working order, which is why we recommend you bring your vehicle into our Service Department to have a Mercedes-Benz Factory Trained Technician test your battery for you! If you should need a battery replaced, we have plenty in our Service Department and can also order whatever other parts you may need as well. Make sure you stay charged up and ready to go this winter, and don't get left out in the cold. Visit Our Mercedes-Benz Dealer Near Greenlawn, NY Today!

It is inevitable that the holidays are right around the corner. Thanksgiving being next week, and holidays such as Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year's, and more being right around the corner, many people will be hitting the roads throughout Long Island to visit family, friends, and loved ones. It's important to make sure that your Mercedes-Benz is running in tip-top shape before you hit the road. After all, you don't want to get left in the cold during your holiday travels. Here are some car care tips to keep in mind this holiday season: Battery In the colder months, car batteries work harder and therefore draw more energy than in the warmer months. Therefore, wintertime is when many batteries start to die or struggle to start your vehicle. Make sure before you start traveling to visit our Service Department and have your battery inspected on your Mercedes-Benz! If you should need a new battery, we keep plenty in stock through our Parts Department, and you can have it professionally installed by our technicians and be back on the road in no time. Tires Tires are no doubt a crucial part of a vehicle, especially in the winter months when things become wet and icy. If you go into the winter with visibly worn tires, you could be putting yourself in danger. Be sure to check for any visual signs of wear or damage on all four of your tires. It's also important to make sure that your tire pressures are set correctly. If you have any trouble checking your tires, be sure to drive into our Service Drive, where we can inspect your tires and also adjust your tire pressures right in our Service Drive. You can also shop for new tires through our online tire center, where they will be ready for you to be installed here at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington. Ensure you have a "grip" on your holiday road trips this year with some new tires! Oil Engine oil is essential to having a smooth running vehicle. That is why it is highly stressed to keep up on regular maintenance on your Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including scheduled oil changes. Mercedes-Benz recommends the oil be changed on your vehicle every 10,000 miles or year, depending on what comes first.* If you need your oil topped off, oil changed, or potentially need to repair an oil leak, our Service Department can help you drive confidently this winter season. Coolant No matter the time of year, your Mercedes-Benz vehicle needs coolant in order to properly cool itself down. Lack of coolant can lead to head gasket damage, engine block damage, or even seizing the engine itself. Stop into our Mercedes-Benz Service Center near Huntington Station, NY today to have your coolant level checked and adjusted. You do not want to get heated over an overheating vehicle! Wipers While windshield wipers may seem so simple, they are so important to driving safely. Without properly functioning windshield wipers, it would be very hard to see the road ahead of you when the weather turns sour. Make sure your wipers are in proper working condition and not streaking across the windshield. If you're in need of new genuine Mercedes-Benz wipers, stop into our Parts Department and have your wipers professionally installed in our Service Drive. You'll be in and out in no time!

As we are mid-way into October, we thought we'd provide a friendly reminder about October being Fall Car Care Month, as well as the importance of taking care of regular Mercedes-Benz maintenance to keep your vehicle running at it's best. 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, as well as beyond the month of October to give your beloved Mercedes-Benz some TLC. Here are some great car care tips from your local Huntington area Mercedes-Benz Service Center near Huntington Station, NY! 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 after doing some shopping at the Walt Whitman Shops in Huntington Station, or getting ready for your morning commute! 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, especially with all of the rain we have been having lately in the East Northport and Commack area. 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. Luckily our Mercedes-Benz Parts Center carries genuine Mercedes-Benz Wiper Blades you can purchase during your next Service A or Service B. 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. Drive right into our indoor climate controlled Service Drive and have one of our Service Drive Attendants top off your fluids for you, as well as adjust your tire pressure and have you on your way through the streets of Dix Hills and Greenlawn. 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! Shop for tires from the comfort of your own home using our online tire center, to find tires that fit your specific vehicle.   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! Our friendly staff are all ready to provide you with our award-winning customer service, and ensure you and your vehicle are well taken care of.

As the weather starts to cool down and the leaves start to change here on Long Island, we can't help but start to prepare for the upcoming winter. Before we know it, snow, ice, and cold weather will be here just as fast as the winter holiday season! One question that comes up when preparing for the winter is, "When should I put snow tires on my vehicle?" The best time to put your snow tires on is around or after Thanksgiving time. Around that time, as you start to prepare for the winter time, and for the holidays, be sure to add "Install Winter Tires" to your to-do checklist and have the following benefits when winter weather does arrive: Stronger road grip in snowy conditions Reliable braking A break for your vehicle’s all season tires Greater tire replacement and service savings down the road Should I Put Winter Tires or All-Season Tires on My Mercedes-Benz? All season tires are designed for a composed ride and fuel-efficiency; they can perform in all sorts of conditions, but they are prime in the spring and summer. That is not to say that all-season tires will leave you stuck. However, if you are looking for the best performance in snowy and icy conditions, winter tires are the way to go. Winter tires are intended primarily for snowy weather, and include these unique qualities: Rigid yet flexible tread rubber for better traction Deep tread depths to prevent snow accumulation More biting edges for improved grip in icy conditions Best Winter Tires For Mercedes-Benz Vehicles Tire shopping can be daunting and time-consuming. That is why we have our online tire center, which helps you pinpoint exactly what tires you want for your vehicle. Whether you are looking for tires for your 4MATIC Mercedes-Benz SUV, or you want better traction in the snow for your Mercedes-Benz sedan, you'll find exactly what you are looking for through Mercedes-Benz of Huntington. You can also shop by brand too, if you have a specific brand of tires you choose for your vehicle. We carry all major brands, such as Continental, Michelin, Pirelli, Dunlop, and more! Start Your Winter Prepping Today During Fall Car Care Month! Tires are just one of the many things you should take care of on your vehicle before the winter sets in.

Oil changes are essential to keeping your Mercedes-Benz, and any other vehicle for that matter running smoothly and efficiently. If you choose to not change your oil or skip oil changes, it could have some costly effects to your vehicle. When you don’t change the oil in your vehicle, nothing is absorbing the heat from the engine, pistons, and other components for the engine block. Your engine can start to have some serious issues without it to keep things working smoothly. Having your *oil changed regularly at our Mercedes-Benz Service Center in Huntington, NY means keeping your car running properly on the Dix Hills streets longer. What Does The Oil Do? The main purpose of engine oil is to lubricate the engine. However, it also has many other purposes. Engine oil absorbs the heat from the engine components and carries it away to avoid overheating. If you don't have fresh oil in your engine due to skipping oil changes, the pistons can weld themselves to the cylinders as the heat has nothing to absorb it. If you don’t change out the oil, the dirt and debris it picks up while moving through the engine can be too dirty to work effectively, which can also lead to the engine overheating. All of these issues can be easily avoided by utilizing our Express Service at our Mercedes-Benz Service Center, where you can get your oil changed in an hour or less! How Often Should I Change My Mercedes-Benz Vehicle's Oil? With new Mercedes-Benz vehicles years 2009 and older, your oil change interval is typically every 10,000 miles or at 1 year. After 10,000 miles or 1 year you vehicle will display either Service A*, or Service B**. Both the Mercedes-Benz Service A, and Mercedes-Benz Service B include an oil change, among other maintenance items depending on your mileage.
