Anyone who doesn’t live under a rock associates the Mercedes- Maybach title with the epitome of luxury, innovation, success, and even as a life goal . Since the brand being founded in 1909, it has become a part of an almost cult-like culture for all ages, being shown as a symbol of elegance in classic movies like Inception, to even being involved in the youth and hip-hop scene in more than 700 rap songs (and ongoing), and even being driven in and mentioned by rap icons such as Ja Rule, Jay Z, Kanye West, Nas, and Rick Ross. But no matter what category you’re speaking of you will find the crème de la crème riding in one, ranging from Jay Leno, Samuel L. Jackson, Rihanna, Madonna, Will Smith, to MLB player Alex Rodriguez famously known as A-Rod, Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., and the list goes on. Although you see many people in pop-culture sporting this luxury vehicle, you don’t have to be famous to be riding in this new Mercedes -Maybach S-Class. In fact, many people right here on Long Island, NY own a Mercedes-Maybach. You can see many different Mercedes-Maybach models whether you’re at the Americana Manhasset doing some shopping, on the LIE/ Long Island Expressway on your commute to work in New York City or Manhattan, on your getaway to The Hamptons and out East, or even just right here in Huntington, Suffolk County. No matter where you’ll see this new Mercedes-Maybach S 550 after it’s expected release in the summer of 2021 though, you’ll be doing a double take with its beautiful new features, and you’ll understand exactly why it has an immense cult-like following behind it! Let’s start with what you’ll see first, the eye-catching exterior. With a unique two-tone paint, created by a long and grueling process that shows high craftsmanship, Mercedes-Maybach gives you elegant options such as Kalahari Gold/ Rubellite Red, Mojave Silver/ Emerald Green, and Obsidian Black/ Diamond White. With the B-pillar it shares with the original S-Class sedan, the difference starts at the wheelbase. Being extended 9.1 inches from the standard S-Class, and length being raised 8.4 inches, this Mercedes-Maybach is unique in its own dimensions. Not to mention, the new luxury sedan will also feature a classic Maybach-worthy front grille featuring a vertical-lined concept, with the three-pointed star adorning the hood. Now, it’s not a Mercedes-Maybach unless you feel like you’ve entered a Four Seasons Hotel just by stepping into the cabin. With a leather-lined ceiling above, passengers sit comfortably with a wide range of adjustment that could be done to their seat. Positioned upright, or reclined back to experience the Massage Feature at its greatest, those sitting in the roomy executive seats get the royal treatment. Speaking of executives, those who can’t seem to escape from the busy work life can rest easy, there are plenty of screens to use any type of media with the MBUX system, 4D Burmester Surround Sound System to create a noise-cancelling environment, Adaptive Rear Lighting, Neck and Shoulder Heated Seats to help with fatigue, spacious tabletops, and two different available Energizing Packages. Passengers also have an option to have a champagne cooler with custom sterling silver champagne flutes to go along with it. Wouldn’t this be great on the way to the Wölffer Estate Vineyards? The front back seat rests are enveloped in wood, giving it a classic yet modern charm with the exotic trims used. The backseat of this Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is where you want to be, but that doesn’t mean that they’ve skimped on the Driver’s and Front Passenger's seat as well. The center console and armrests almost look like they’re floating in the front cabin space in a futuristic fashion. Five different display screens are available, each packed with high-tech features in Maybach-specific design. The second generation MBUX system integrated into the displays recognizes eye-direction as previewed in the standard S-Class debut earlier this year. Hand gestures, and body language are also taken into account, creating an innovative and intuitive experience for the driver. Driving becomes more of a joy with the turbocharged 3.0 litre six-cylinder hybrid engine, as well as standard All-Wheel-Drive, the Mercedes-Benz Airmatic Air Suspension, and adjustable Powertrain Stability Control, Suspension, and Steering by using the DYNAMIC SELECT feature. Not that you would mess with perfection, due to the original Maybach Mode appealing to comfort and a smooth ride by softening the throttle and starting the car in second gear. With various Driver Assistance Programs like Drive Pilot and more, as well as safety features such as PRE-SAFE and airbags for the rear compartment, this new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class has something for everybody, regardless of the seat you sit in. You too can experience and be a part of the legacy that comes with riding in a Maybach by stopping by our dealership located near The Paramount, Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium, and other great spots in Huntington, once the new ride hits dealerships in the summer.

This year has been a tough year for most of us living in Long Island, New York, or even anywhere else for that matter, to say the least. With the COVID-19 pandemic, many changes have occurred in our day to day life that have been out of our control, that have affected ourselves, our family, our friends, co-workers, and even interaction with strangers we pass while on our day to day activities. Whether it be the busy mother you see wrestling to keep her children in line at the local Stop and Shop on Jericho Turnpike across the street from our dealership, the kind employee who has informed you that toilet paper is indeed restocked on the shelves at Target in Commack, or even your thoughtful neighbor that had sent over a care package with farm fresh fall goodies from Kerber’s Farm in Huntington, you and the people around you are going through things that we can all relate to. That being said, now is the time when a supportive community is greatly important if not necessary to bring about the feeling that no one is alone in their struggle amidst this pandemic. The reason why so many towns in Suffolk County and Nassau County such as East Northport, Dix Hills, Fort Salonga, Kings Park, Cold Spring Harbor, Huntington, Southampton, Melville, Smithtown, Plainview, Hempstead, Rockville Center, Massapequa, Franklin Square, and more are so loved by those living there is the close-knit community within each one. Since 1988, Alternatives for Children, a non-profit private school organization for children with special needs, has been contributing to this exact sense of community all over Long Island. Alternatives for Children has been a part of many families for so long, providing a nurturing environment for children and their individual needs, while catering to the needs of their families as well. This organization has been a place families have been able to turn to when everything seems to be falling apart. As any of us could understand, you want the best for our children or even if you don’t have children, for the children in the community around us. That exact vision of a welcoming place where those can turn to has truly been exemplified in all of the school locations in Aquebogue, East Setauket, Dix Hills, and Southampton.

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!

Lewis Hamilton is a name you have probably heard often this year, but who is the man behind the name? Lewis Hamilton is a six-time F1 World Champion British racing driver for the Mercedes-Benz AMG Petronas Formula One Team. What is Formula One you may ask? For those that don’t know, Formula One (F1 for short) is an international auto racing sport. It is the highest league of international single-seater auto racing. F1 includes 10 different teams, Scuderia Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull Racing, Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team, Renault F1 Team, Williams Racing, Haas F1 Team, Scuderia AlphaTauri, Sauber F1 Team, and Racing Point Force India F1. The Mercedes-Benz AMG team is based in the United Kingdom where Lewis Hamilton is from. Lewis Hamilton is 35 years old currently, but began his interest in racing since he was 6 years of age starting with remote controlled cars, and moving on to a go kart after being gifted one from his father for Christmas around the same time. Think about that the next time your son is begging for the tiny yet mighty Hot Wheels toy car at the Target in Huntington Station! Hamilton began karting in 1993 at the Rye House Kart Circuit and won many races there. When he was around 10, Hamilton approached McLaren Formula One team boss Ron Dennis for an autograph. This may seem like nothing integral, but the funny thing is that Hamilton introduced himself to Dennis and told him that he had won the British Championship and would one day like to race for the F1 McLaren Team. Dennis told him to phone him after nine years and they would see what would happen. Hamilton’s wish came true. After winning an additional Super One series and his second British Championship in 1998, Ron Dennis fulfilled his promise and contacted Hamilton to join the McLaren driver development programme. Hamilton became the youngest driver to secure a contract with the included option of a future Formula 1 seat in 2000, and he became the European Champion with maximum points. After time moving up through the ranks such as Manor Motorsport and then British Formula 3, with wins such as the Marlboro Masters of Formula 3 at Zandvoort, and fifteen out of twenty wins at the Euro Series champions ASM for the 2005 season, he then moved on to winning the GP2 championship at his first attempt beating competitors like Nelson Piquet Jr., and Timo Glock, and even winning at the notorious Nurburgring track as well. Hamilton was always succeeding despite his unusual circumstances in each race. McLaren took notice of his success and Hamilton was confirmed as the team’s second driver after Juan Pablo Montoya left to compete in NASCAR and Kimi Raikkonen to Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton was finally competing in the big leagues. Hamilton’s first season in F1 as a driver for McLaren in 2007 proved to be very successful. He set multiple records such as most consecutive podium finishes from debut, the joint most wins in a debut season, and the most points in a debut season. His successful first season allowed him to receive a multi-million pound contract to stay with McLaren until 2012. In 2008, Hamilton became the youngest F1 World Champion in history after winning in Brazil. The UK also hadn’t won a world championship since 1996 by Damon Hill. In 2011, Hamilton was loved by so many that he even played a cameo in Disney Pixar’s “ Cars 2” as an animated racecar. By the end of 2012, Hamilton had announced his move to join the Mercedes-Benz team to replace retired Michael Schumacher for the 2013 season. As we know, Hamilton has found great success with the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team to this day. In his first season he won the Hungarian Grand Prix by 11 seconds. The start of the 2014 season began a new era of success for the young and ambitious driver. He won 11 races to receive his second driver’s championship preceding his third driver’s championship in 2015. Lewis Hamilton alongside childhood friend Nico Rosberg allowed Mercedes-Benz to achieve the F1 Contructor’s Championship. After winning yet two more driver’s championships in 2017 and 2018, Hamilton’s tally count was set at five. This is the second highest championship total in F1 history. In 2019, Hamilton conquered his sixth win, setting him on track to join Dale Earnheart Jr, Jimmie Johnson, and Richard Petty, and Michael Schumacher on 7 season titles, a magic number in racing according to NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace in his guest written excerpt on Lewis Hamilton. But can Lewis Hamilton beat Michael Schumacher and his record? Many believe so with his history of triumphs, but we will have to wait and see what the future holds in store for the enthusiastic racer. Wallace’s excerpt on Hamilton gives insight as to why Lewis Hamilton was included on TIME Magazine’s list of The 100 Most Influential People of 2020 along with the likes of athletes Naomi Osaka and Allyson Felix. According to Wallace, other than his success, Lewis’ example as the only black F1 driver inspires many people such as him, the only black driver in NASCAR’s top level, to keep pushing for representation and diversity, which makes it no wonder he was placed in the “Titans” category with icons such as NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Gabrielle Union, Dwayne Wade, and Sundar Pichai. Lewis has also been a major visual part of the Black Lives Matter Movement following the death of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and has been vocal about the subject on his social media accounts (@LewisHamilton on Instagram and Twitter),  and even at F1 events. Lewis’ feverish attitude towards bettering himself and educating others around him has led to his ultimate success as a racer and even just as a person. Additional Fun Facts: Why is Lewis Hamilton #44? : Lewis favors the number so much that he decides to use it instead of #1 like most people would want in the racing league on his car.
