Mercedes-Benz Service A & B Specialists in Gold River

Service A is the minor interval service — typically triggered at 10,000 miles or one year — and covers a full synthetic oil and filter change, tire pressure correction, brake inspection, and ASSYST Plus reset. Service B is the major interval at approximately 20,000 miles or two years and adds a cabin pollen filter replacement, brake fluid exchange (DOT 4 LV spec), and a more thorough drivetrain and suspension inspection. Each B-sub-interval (B2, B4, B6…) may also include spark plugs or transmission service at the appropriate mileage threshold.

At 916 Auto Repair we offer competitive flat-rate pricing that is significantly lower than Sacramento-area Mercedes-Benz dealerships. Our B1 service includes all factory-required checks, MB-approved full-synthetic oil, and an ASSYST Plus reset — call us for a current price quote. You get the same quality parts and documentation without the dealer overhead.

The B6 service is a major interval that includes everything in a standard Service B plus spark plug replacement on gasoline engines and a transmission fluid service verification. The exact checklist depends on your model year and mileage history, so we pull up your ASSYST Plus data before confirming what's due. Our technicians document every item completed and log it in your vehicle's service record.

Yes — every Service A and B at 916 Auto Repair includes an ASSYST Plus reset as a standard step, not an add-on charge. We use professional diagnostic software that interfaces directly with your Mercedes' on-board computer, clears the maintenance reminder, and updates the digital service log. This preserves your documented service history, which matters for resale value and any remaining factory warranty coverage.

Yes. We service both personal and fleet Sprinter vans — W906 and W907 chassis — including diesel engine maintenance, oil service with MB-approved spec fluid, brake inspection, and general drivetrain diagnostics. Note that BlueTEC/AdBlue SCR fluid service is not performed in-house. Our bay accommodates high-roof Sprinters, and we understand the unique service schedule differences between Sprinter and passenger car intervals.

Mercedes-Benz uses a flexible service interval calculated by the ASSYST Plus system based on your driving style and engine load — typically every 10,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Every oil change at our shop uses full-synthetic oil meeting MB 229.5 or MB 229.51 specification (matched to your specific engine) and a Fleece oil filter, which is known for superior filtration and longer service life compared to standard paper filters.

This warning can indicate a coolant level sensor failure, an actual low coolant condition, or a slow leak somewhere in the cooling system. It's critical not to ignore it — running a Mercedes engine low on coolant can cause head gasket damage and costly internal repairs. Bring the vehicle in as soon as possible so we can pressure-test the cooling system, check the sensor, and identify any leak before it becomes a major issue.

We invest in factory-level diagnostic tools, use MB-approved fluids and OEM-equivalent parts, and document every service properly — so you get dealership-quality results at independent shop prices without making the drive into central Sacramento.
