Mercedes-Benz Repair & Service
Express Auto services Mercedes-Benz vehicles at independent labor rates. We diagnose with Snap-on and Matco bi-directional scan tools, which read fault codes and live data and let us command components on and off to test them.
Free inspection, walk-in or by appointment: a code scan plus a visual inspection
Our free inspection is a code scan plus a visual inspection of the car. Diagnostics is for when we need more time to find the root cause.
We test with Snap-on and Matco bi-directional scan tools.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mercedes-Benz Service
Does Express Auto perform Mercedes A Service and B Service?
Yes. We perform both Mercedes Service A (oil, filter, inspection) and Service B (oil, filter, brake fluid, cabin filter, inspection) using MB 229.5 or 229.51 certified full synthetic oil. We reset the ASSYST Plus maintenance indicator with our Snap-on and Matco scan tools so your service interval counter shows the correct next due date.
Can Express Auto service my Mercedes without voiding the warranty?
Yes. Mercedes cannot void your factory warranty because you used an independent shop. We document all services with MB-approved fluids and OEM-grade parts. Mercedes CPO warranty repairs must go to a dealer, but regular maintenance and out-of-warranty work at Express Auto carries no warranty risk.
What Mercedes models does Express Auto service?
We service all Mercedes-Benz models: C-Class (W204, W205, W206), E-Class (W212, W213), S-Class (W221, W222), GLA, GLB, GLC, GLE, GLS, CLA, A-Class, and AMG performance models (C43, C63, E63, S63, GLE63). We also service Mercedes Sprinter vans — important for San Bruno businesses operating commercial vehicles.
Does Express Auto service Mercedes AMG models?
Yes. We service all AMG models using MB 229.51 or Castrol EDGE Professional LL III 5W-30 as required. AMG engines (M177 biturbo V8, M139 4-cyl, M176 V8) require specific oil specs; we stock the correct fluid for every AMG variant. For AMG brake service we use OEM-spec Pagid or Brembo pads to preserve the ESP/ABS integration.
How much does Mercedes service cost at Express Auto?
Express Auto charges independent labor rates. A Mercedes Service A runs $350–$450 at Express Auto. Service B runs $650–$950.
