Mercedes B3 Service at Automotion Service and Repair

When it comes to maintaining your Mercedes-Benz, regular servicing is key to ensuring that your vehicle continues to perform at its best. One of the important service intervals for your vehicle is the Mercedes B3 service, which usually takes place around the 20,000-mile mark.

At Automotion Reno, we understand the importance of keeping your Mercedes-Benz in top condition. Our expert technicians provide thorough inspections and services during the Mercedes B3 service to help keep your vehicle running smoothly.

What is the Mercedes B3 Service?

The Mercedes-Benz B3 service is part of a routine maintenance schedule designed for vehicles at the 20,000-mile milestone. It is the third in a series of “B” services, following the B1 and B2 services. Each service is tailored to maintain the vehicle’s performance and extend its lifespan.

The B3 service is specific to your vehicle’s model year and may vary slightly depending on the particular model. It generally involves replacing filters, changing fluids, inspecting brake components, and ensuring that all essential systems are running smoothly.

Key Components of the Mercedes B3 Service

Here is a breakdown of the key services typically performed during the Mercedes B3 service:

1. Synthetic Oil Change

One of the most important tasks during a Mercedes B3 service is the synthetic oil change. Your Mercedes-Benz uses high-quality synthetic oil, which is designed to keep your engine running smoothly.

Over time, this oil breaks down and loses its ability to lubricate the engine effectively. During the B3 service, our technicians will drain the old oil and replace it with fresh synthetic oil. This helps prevent engine wear and ensures optimal performance.

2. Oil Filter Replacement

Along with the oil change, the oil filter is also replaced during the B3 service. The oil filter traps dirt, debris, and contaminants from the oil, ensuring that only clean oil circulates through the engine. Over time, the filter becomes clogged with these particles and needs to be replaced to maintain the efficiency of the engine. Our technicians will replace the oil filter with a new one, helping to keep your engine running clean and smooth.

3. Air Filter Replacement

The air filter plays a crucial role in maintaining the performance of your Mercedes-Benz engine. It prevents dirt and debris from entering the engine, ensuring that the air intake is clean. During the Mercedes B3 service, the air filter is inspected and replaced if necessary. A clean air filter is essential for optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency.

4. Cabin Air Filter Replacement

In addition to the engine air filter, the cabin air filter is also replaced during the B3 service. This filter is responsible for ensuring that the air inside your car remains clean and free from dust, pollen, and other pollutants. If the cabin air filter becomes clogged, it can lead to unpleasant odors and reduced air quality. Our technicians will inspect and replace the cabin filter during the B3 service to ensure that you and your passengers enjoy a clean and comfortable ride.

5. Fluid Level Check and Top-Off

Maintaining proper fluid levels is essential to the smooth operation of your Mercedes-Benz. During the B3 service, our technicians will check all essential fluid levels, including engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid. If any fluids are low, they will be topped off to the appropriate level. This helps prevent damage to critical components and ensures that your vehicle runs efficiently.

6. Brake Fluid Inspection and Replacement

Brake fluid is another important component that is checked during the B3 service. Over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture, which can reduce its effectiveness and lead to brake system failure. Our technicians will inspect the brake fluid and replace it if necessary to ensure that your brake system is functioning properly. Regular brake fluid maintenance is essential for safe driving and optimal braking performance.

7. Tire and Brake Inspection

The B3 service also includes a thorough inspection of your tires and brake system. Tires are checked for wear and proper inflation, as these factors significantly affect the vehicle’s handling and safety. The brake system, including the pads and rotors, is inspected to ensure that they are in good condition. If any issues are found, our technicians will recommend the necessary repairs or replacements.

8. Battery Inspection

The health of your battery is crucial to the reliable performance of your Mercedes-Benz. During the B3 service, the battery is checked for corrosion and tested to ensure it is holding a charge. If the battery is showing signs of wear, our technicians may recommend a replacement to avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Why is the Mercedes B3 Service Important?

The Mercedes B3 service is an essential part of your vehicle’s routine maintenance, and it helps keep your car in top condition. Regular servicing ensures that your vehicle runs smoothly, extends its lifespan, and can prevent costly repairs down the road.

Maintaining the Health of Your Mercedes-Benz

The Mercedes-Benz B3 service helps ensure that key systems like the engine, brakes, and fluids are in optimal condition. By following the recommended service intervals, you can prevent premature wear and tear on your vehicle and maintain its overall performance. This not only enhances your driving experience but also protects your investment.

Enhanced Safety and Reliability

By replacing filters, changing fluids, and inspecting vital components like the brake system and tires, the B3 service enhances your vehicle’s safety and reliability. These services ensure that your Mercedes-Benz is functioning at its best, so you can drive with confidence knowing that your car is well-maintained and ready for the road.

Our Customer Reviews

Efficient and timely

Sam Somerhalder Sep 9, 2023

Excellent and efficient service. They were able to diagnose and fix a problem that the dealership was unable to solve. I was impressed with their professionalism and transparency. I will not hesitate to use their shop again in the future.

Derek Freiheit Mar 3, 2026

What a great company!!

shirley spangler Mar 3, 2026

Automotion has been our go to mechanic for our vehicles for many years. As we approach 250,000 miles, it gives us piece of mind that we have trusted pros making sure we’re ready for long haul trips, like our recent one to the midwest — though ice/snow and mountain passes. These guys help keep your vehicles reliable and safe! Thank you Automotion team!!

Derek Partridge Mar 3, 2026

I loved that they dropped me off at my house and picked me up again when the work was done.

Steve Kolbow Mar 3, 2026

Good service. Chris was very helpful. Shuttle service was greatly appreciated as I only have one vehicle. As far as price goes, honesty and integrity and quality are more important to me than the cost. If my vehicle breaks down again I will give them a call. Keep up the good work. Dave Cronk.

Vicky C Mar 3, 2026

These guys are great. I came in right at opening on a busy Monday and explained my ABS light was on just 3 weeks after getting it fixed and HAD to drive to Vegas the next day. They squeezed me in, explained that the previous shop didn’t fix my issue correctly, fixed it for me, and I was out of there by 2. They had doors tall enough for my campervan so if you’re looking for a great shop in Reno this is it

Ricki Hoffman Mar 3, 2026

Easy to schedule. Used the night drop—super easy w follow up at scheduled drop time. Very good conversation on need to have vs nice to have (aka we can get it next time). During the Christmas season this gave me great confidence I was still keeping my car dependable until my next service inspection. Great team at Automotion. Been w them 6 years w 4 cars across three makes. I will never go back to a dealership!

Jim Adamski Dec 12, 2025

Always great!

Grace Thornton Dec 12, 2025

They had a wonderful way of dealing with new people

Saul Valencia Nov 11, 2025

They quickly identified the problem and repaired it. The estimated repair cost was accurate and reasonable. I’ll go back

Paul Dieringer Nov 11, 2025

I've trusted this shop since I moved to Reno 20 years ago. They were highly recommended then and I can say the same today. The Service Advisors are honest with me on the condition of my vehicle, what needs attention now and what can be addressed at a later time. The mechanics/technicians have massive skills on top-end vehicles, so my SUV was a piece of cake. I trust the work is done right the first time and I have never been disappointed. Why go anywhere else?

Karen Alfsen Nov 11, 2025

John was very helpful taking me home after I dropped off my car for service. I now have 2 working headlights!

Kathy Harada Oct 10, 2025

I had great service by both Shauna and the other gentleman. I was looking to buy a used car with a lot of mileage and year. I can’t remember the gentleman’s name but he really advocated for me during the discussion with the seller and advised me honestly in a really helpful manner. If you are young or of modest means it’s worth the checkup to avoid major issues, they saved me at least 1.5k and squeezed me in the same day

Sana Rahmani Sep 9, 2025

I came in for a wheel alignment. There was a miscommunication over the phone around price. Jason, the manager, honored the much lower price I was quoted over the phone. It’s that’s kind of gesture that will bring me back to this shop. All around they were communicative, honest, transparent, and friendly. 5 stars.

Maxim Dobrushin Sep 9, 2025

It was a nice looking shop with many very nice antique cars in the lot. Jason was pleasant, professional and responsive on the phone. However, I had made an appointment to have a key smith make a key for my car, and drove an hour each way to get to the shop to get there. And the key smith didn’t show up. So I was disappointed at driving nearly 110 miles and wasting my time for this. On the other hand, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back and have something done at the shop that they self-performed because they were as decent as they could be about the situation. They had a nice coffee machine for customers that I appreciated, too, and a good place to hang out and work while you wait if you need that. Nice people.

Robert Aug 8, 2025

Had my Ferrari taken care of quickly. Awesome. I’ll be back

michael h Jul 7, 2025

Automation Service and Repair maintains all of our family vehicles with reasonable prices and professional pride.! 5 stars !

Biviano Vasquez Nov 11, 2019

Excellent service. Definitely 10/10. The service technician did a fantastic job at servicing and repairing my Bentley. Usually I would have to send my car to the Bentley dealership in San Francisco for repair and servicing. Automation provided much better service and communication than the Bentley dealership. Jason was an extremely effective customer service representative. Highest recommendation.

faiR ENOugh Dec 12, 2024

Automotion is the best repair shop in Reno, they always do the job right the first time.

clifford candevan Apr 4, 2023

I took my car in to have the suspension checked because I was staying to hear some squeaking when I drove over bumps and rough road. After they test drove it, they said that the springs and struts tested normally, so they lubricated them and said that all should be good in a couple of days once the lube worked into the system. And they're were right! Their integrity saved me hundreds of dollars when they could have opted to replace parts that were still good. That's how a company builds trust with us customers.

Wally Murray (luvinthislife) Dec 12, 2024

Absolutely lovely establishment, so many great things about this place, between the excellent service, the great bathrooms and the wonderful dogs to greet you and pet, I absolutely recommend coming here for any car needs, especially who have a Mercedes sprinter. The staff is super kind of knowledgeable and are willing to work with you if you have special needs for your vehicle like we have with ours. They will even put your lug nuts on in a certain order if you ask them to. Very detail oriented, very professional absolutely recommend coming here for everything you need!!

Stacy Ladwig Oct 10, 2024

A surprisingly refreshing experience.

Susan Mahoney Oct 10, 2024

They fixed the problems I was having with my electrical, and even fixed a loose connection that would have been a problem that I didn’t even know about! Great service, and a great attitude with the front desk, who were kind enough to work with me while my card was having issues being cleared with Visa till it all worked out in the end!
