How Should I Prepare My Vehicle for the Summer?
At Mercedes-Benz of Huntington, our Service Department highly values the safety and longevity of our customer's vehicles. Many of our clients will come in before their summer road trips to upstate New York, the wineries out East, or weekend in Montauk, to get their vehicle ready. The most common question we get is, "What should I be doing to get my car ready for the summer?" . When we receive this question we always start off by recommending our customers come in for a complimentary Multi-Point Inspection, and Fluid Top-Off! A multi-point inspection at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington involves a comprehensive check of your vehicle to ensure that it is in optimal working condition. This inspection typically includes a thorough evaluation of several key areas: Exterior and Interior: Checking the condition of the body, lights, and mirrors, as well as the interior features such as seats, belts, and controls. Engine Compartment: Inspecting the engine and related components, including fluid levels, belts, hoses, and battery. Undercarriage: Examining the brakes, suspension, exhaust system, and other components for wear and tear or potential issues. Tires and Wheels: Assessing the condition and alignment of the tires and wheels to ensure proper balance and wear. During the inspection, certified technicians look for any signs of wear, leaks, or damage and provide recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance. The goal is to catch potential issues early to prevent more significant problems down the line, or even worse, on the way to your summer adventure.

Full transparency is important to us, and this is just one of the ways that we love showing our customers that their vehicle is in good hands here at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mercedes-Benz of Huntington (@mercedesbenzliny) One of the most common repairs/ maintenance items needed in the summer is a Cabin Filter Replacement. Mercedes-Benz recommends that we change our cabin filters every two years of 20,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is always included in your B Service. In the summer time, clients usually tell us that they smell an odor coming from their air conditioning. When we start using our air conditioners after a long break, is usually when you start to notice that your cabin air filter has accumulated a lot of debris, and is causing this smell. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mercedes-Benz of Huntington (@mercedesbenzliny) Luckily for our service customers, for the month of June we are offering 10% OFF of Cabin Filter Replacements as one of our many service specials!

How To Winterize Your Mercedes-Benz
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!
How Should I Prepare My Mercedes-Benz for the Fall?
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!
What Does This Warning Light Mean On My Mercedes-Benz?
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.
What Is A Mercedes-Benz A-Service & B-Service?
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.

How to Sanitize Your Vehicle
With all of the recent concern going on lately regarding COVID-19, and more coronavirus updates happening daily, it is more important than ever for Huntington, Commack, and Long Island drivers to practice perfect hygiene and sanitary procedures. This also applies to the inside of your car. Many people are wondering how they can sanitize and keep the inside of their cars clean during this time to prevent the spread of germs and diseases such as coronavirus. Luckily, us here at Mercedes-Benz of Huntington have compiled some helpful tips to keep your car sanitized while you are on the road. Utilize Soap and Water When it comes to fighting germs, soap and water is always your best bet. While hand sanitizers and alcohol-based cleaners do a good job at eliminating bacteria and germs, they are not ideal for car interiors. Autoblog states, "Conveniently, soap is a key ingredient in a lot of easily obtained items — classic liquid hand or dish soaps (think Dial), for example. The trick here is to avoid any cleaners that are labeled as being free of detergents. If you're already sitting on a cache of automotive cleaning supplies, you're probably in good shape. Basic Armor All wipes, for example, contain a mild detergent. For those with leather interior bits, makeup removal wipes (such as the Biore wipes pictured above) are a great solution; that's because skin care products typically contain moisturizers, which are good for organic trim materials." Especially with the fine-crafted interiors that are in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, you should exercise much caution to what chemicals and cleaners you use in your vehicle. While you want to get rid of any germs lingering in your vehicle, you do not want to damage your interior! You can always utilize our Mercedes-Benz Service Center near Huntington, NY, as we offer exterior and interior detailing services for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Scrub Your Interior Get ready to scrub-a-dub-dub! Utilizing disinfectant wipes or soapy water, it is important to thoroughly scrub hard surfaces that are in your vehicle. It is also important to think about areas where germs might congregate the most. Thenewswheel.com states, "To guide your efforts when cleaning the cabin, think about where droplets would fall when you sneeze or cough. Do you turn your head to the side? Then consider putting a little more effort into cleaning the area around the driver-side window or center console. Also consider where consider where droplets of spit and snot would fall when your passengers sneeze and cough." While normally many people do not pay attention this, especially while driving through the streets of Greenlawn and Dix Hills, it is important to think about all potential areas to clean in your vehicle. Pay Attention to High-Touch Surfaces Think of areas where there is the most touching in your vehicle. This could include door handles, the Mercedes-Benz Touchpad available in vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Mercedes-Benz GLE, climate controls, audio controls, the steering wheel, and much more. These areas are prone to more germs due to being touched the most inside vehicles. If you are in a newer 2020 vehicle such as the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, or the Mercedes-Benz GLC, you might have the MBUX system which includes a touch-screen infotainment system. If so, it is also important to make sure the touch screen is thoroughly cleaned as well due to it being a high-touch surface. Don't Forget Soft Surfaces Many people overlook soft surfaces in their vehicle, but the truth is that many of these surfaces, such as carpeting, seats, and headliners can also harbor germs and bacteria. Especially if you have children that are home due to Suffolk County schools being closed and you are shuffling them around the neighborhood. The CDC recommends using a cleaner that is appropriate for whatever material is being cleaned. For example, if you are cleaning Mercedes-Benz Leather Seats or MB-Tex Seats, you would want to use a Leather Cleaner or Vinyl Cleaner. For vehicle carpets and upholstery, it would be wise to use carpet or upholstery cleaner.

A Note to Our Community
To our customers, Like so many of you, we have spent the last several days and weeks learning about the coronavirus (COVID-19) and how it is impacting our world. For Mercedes-Benz of Huntington, that means understanding how it affects our employees, customers and communities, and then making the necessary adjustments to our work and operations. We have one simple objective that guides us: keeping you and our employees safe. This has been at the center of our conversations every step of the way. With that in mind, we have made several moves in our business in response to the threat of the coronavirus. We have ramped up cleaning services at our stores and are adding hand sanitizer at the front entrances and at all cash registers. Sanitizing wipes are near workstations and counters so that employees can keep them continuously cleaned. We are closely following the Centers for Disease Control’s (CDC) guidelines and recommendations on the steps we can take to help prevent the spread of the virus. We have shared specific instructions with our employees on the importance of washing their hands and staying home if they feel sick or are returning from an area of the world identified as posing a coronavirus-related risk. Per CDC recommendations, we will ask employees who have traveled to such locations or have been exposed to others who have traveled to such locations to self-quarantine for 14 days. A strict travel policy for our employees is in place, and we have canceled meetings with large gatherings, again to do what we can to help prevent the spread of the illness. If you don’t feel well, or choose not to visit one of our stores, of course we are ready to serve you through many virtual buying and servicing options. We are hear to help in any way possible to ease the stress of car shopping and vehicle service at this time.
