Here in Alabama we don't have the same kind of extreme winter weather that other parts of the country have to deal with but we still get our share of colder weather and rainy, slippery road surfaces. At Mercedes-Benz of Tuscaloosa, we're experts at helping your Mercedes-Benz get the wintertime preparation it needs to help you and your family make it safely through the winter. What's more, you may be driving to more snowy, icy conditions over the holidays so it's worth getting winter maintenance services at our service center in Tuscaloosa.

Winter Prep Point #1: An oil change

Throughout the year, your Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class or GLC-Class luxury SUV will be taking you through a variety of different road and weather conditions. In colder months, those conditions can become more challenging and your motor oil can get contaminated by tiny bits of dirt, dust and grime. With an oil and filter change, we can drain that dirty oil and say goodbye to all those uninvited guests, flushing them away once and for all. We can then replace your old motor oil with fresh new synthetic-blend lubrication to give your engine a new lease on life.

Winter Prep Point #2: A tire check

The tires that your Mercedes-Benz rides on through the winter are vital components of your safety. Our certified Mercedes-Benz technician can do a careful inspection of your tires to make sure that each one of them has at least 4/32nds of an inch worth of tread depth.

If your tires don't pass that test and they're worn out for any reason, we offer Mercedes Original (MO) tires that provide five different tire options. Each of them comes with 1,000 hours of engineering and testing behind them. These are high-performance tires they give you more precise steering, better road hand holding on curves and improved control. We also offer quality tires from world-class brands like Michelin® and Pirelli®.

Winter Prep Point #3: A wheel alignment

You can encounter potholes on roadways around Northport AL more often in the winter months. If one of your tires hits a pothole hard enough, that incident can knock your wheels out of alignment. The same thing can happen if your Mercedes-Benz hits a curb a little too hard. A car that's out of alignment won't steer as precisely and that can be hazardous on slick winter roads. We can help your Mercedes SUV or sedan get back on track with an expert wheel alignment.

Winter Prep Point #4: A battery check

Before you and your family start driving around Columbus MS in the winter, you want to make sure your battery is ready for the challenge of starting your car. That job gets more difficult in the winter when temperatures drop toward the freezing range. We can help you avoid having a car that won't start on a cold night by giving your Mercedes-Benz a load test to gauge the strength of your battery. If you need a new battery, we have some first-class choices in stock and we can install one of them for you.

We’re ready to winterize your Mercedes-Benz

When you want to get your Mercedes-Benz ready for winter, it's worth the drive from Meridian MS on I-20 East/I-59 North to have your car serviced at our dealership. We can fix your brakes, your battery and give you a new set of tires to help get your Mercedes-Benz sedan or SUV ready for winter. We encourage you to schedule service at your earliest convenience and we look forward to serving you at Mercedes-Benz of Tuscaloosa in Tuscaloosa, AL.
