How is Mercedes-Benz Service Different for 4MATIC® AWD?

Keeping up with your car’s maintenance requirements is always essential, but some of our luxury vehicles have different needs than others. A good example is Mercedes-Benz service for models offering 4MATIC® all-wheel drive. But don’t worry; the skilled mechanics here at Mercedes-Benz of Los Angeles are more than capable of helping you keep your 4MATIC® all-wheel drive vehicle performing at its best.

Servicing Differentials in Mercedes-Benz Vehicles

The differentials are the most significant difference between 4MATIC® all-wheel drive models and vehicles with different drivetrains. A rear-wheel drive car has a differential on the rear-wheel axle, and a front-wheel drive car has a differential on its front axle.

Models with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive have both front and rear differentials, then they add a center differential. This allows your vehicle to apply more power to any wheel that needs it.

Properly caring for all three of these differentials is a must because they allow your 4MATIC® all-wheel drive system to deliver traction when you need it, even on slippery or uneven surfaces. Our mechanics can check fluid levels in all three and top them off when needed.

Tire Care

A model with 4MATIC® all-wheel drive still needs tire care. Services like tire rotations, tire balancing, and wheel alignments remain essential, just as they are in rear- and front-wheel drive models. You should also remember that if one tire gets destroyed or damaged, you’ll probably need to replace all four of your tires.
