The car tires on your Mercedes-Benz do far more than keep your vehicle safely in contact with the road. Your car tires provide traction in a wide range of weather conditions throughout the Westminster area, and over an incredible variety of road surfaces. They have been engineered to handle extremes in temperature without catastrophic failure, and at high speeds.

One of the worst mistakes you can make is forgetting to check the air pressure in your car tires. When you allow the pressure in your car tires to become low, you expose them to a number of potential problems. Car tires that are low in pressure will overheat causing the rubber to break down, while low tread can lead to loss of control. Both of these conditions can lead to tragic accidents which can easily be avoided. Keep your family safe by checking the air pressure regularly, and replace worn car tires before they become unsafe.

Most drivers in Westminster never give their car brakes a second thought, believing that as long as they stop the car all is well. However, brake pads and shoes are fast wearing items that are vital to the safety of everyone in your Mercedes-Benz and on the road around you. Your car brakes should be inspected on a regular basis when your car tires are being rotated presents the perfect opportunity.

Allowing a Mercedes-Benz factory trained certified technician in Westminster to inspect your car brakes ensures that problems such as excessive wear or damage can be spotted early. Routine brake pad and shoe replacement along with drum and rotor resurfacing will help ensure your vehicle will always be safe to drive. This same inspection will find any leaks so that the appropriate repairs can be made before a serious and possibly catastrophic failure can occur.

When your Mercedes-Benz was built it came with the best possible battery under the hood. The battery literally breathes life into your car since it cannot start without electrical power. Despite the fact all car batteries have an expected “lifespan,” there are many factors which can affect whether they live this long or fall short. When your car battery starts to show signs of becoming weak, you should have it tested.

The testing process measures the voltage in your car battery to see if it still meets the needs of your car and identifies if a car battery replacement is needed or if there may be other issues, such as the starter or alternator. Age itself can be the cause of battery failure, however, if your starter is placing too much of a load on the car battery during cranking or the alternator is not keeping the car battery fully charged, your battery will not last. You should never do a car battery replacement with a battery that is smaller than the one installed by the manufacturer because you will only be setting yourself up for more problems such as being stranded when your Mercedes-Benz won’t start.
