Pollen problem

One of the biggest reasons to change your filters is to ensure you won’t be breathing in all the pollen from outside. While a filter should be changed every 12,000-15,000 miles, it is often a good idea to change it at the end of the pollen season too. Otherwise, allergens might end up blowing out at you as the filter deteriorates. 

Clean air, clean car

Spring is one of the most confusing seasons. One day we could have   80-degree day and the next it is 45 and rainy, so saying that you’ll be using your air conditioning and heater pretty frequently is an understatement. But the more your air system works the more strain is put on your filters. When this happens, pollen isn’t the only thing you’ll find flying out of the vent. If the filter isn’t changed regularly, all that build is coming out at you! This can quickly turn a recently detailed car into a dusty mess. Aka a waste of your money. 

Efficiency is key

Although cabin filters help you breathe better, that is not their only job, In fact, cabin filters actually help keep things working smoothly. A dirty filter can result in your heater core or air conditioner becoming clogged, reducing overall efficiency and causing a headache down the road. So instead of skipping your filter change to save a couple of bucks, save yourself the headache and set yourself a reminder to get your air filters changed sooner than later! 

With spring right around the corner, I’m sure you’ve been planning on hitting the road for some well-deserved fun in the sun. Well, when you hit the road you want to make sure you can trust your vehicle to get you there, and it doesn’t hurt to have some added benefits like premium interior seating surfaces, advanced technology, and a performance that is promised to impress. When you slip behind the wheel of a new Mercedes-Benz, that’s exactly what you get! Take a peek at our new March offers and Spring into the new season behind the wheel of a new Mercedes-Benz from Mercedes-Benz of Danbury!

With spring right around the corner, you might be thinking about your spring maintenance to-do list. As a Mercedes-Benz driver, you know your vehicle deserves the best and that might mean that average maintenance just won’t do for your luxury vehicle! So if you want to avoid the DON’Ts and know more about the DOs, then take a peek at our helpful tips below! Don’t forget that the pros here at Mercedes-Benz of Danbury are here for any and all assistance you might need. Don’t have time to service your Mercedes-Benz? Just not a DIYer? No big deal, just schedule a service appointment and we will get your Mercedes-Benz good as new in no time! 

It’s all about the high-quality products 

You spent your hard-earned money on your vehicle and there is no point in spending that money if you’re just going to clean your vehicle with cheap materials. Your vehicle is of the highest quality and that means your clean supplies should be too.  Invest in high-quality cleaning clothes and mitts that are more kind to your vehicle’s exterior paint. Make sure to use products that are specifically made for cars and never use household detergent on your vehicle, because that could easily strip the wax off your vehicle.  If you have questions about which products you should be using, give us a call and our helpful staff can help you out! 

Invest in an auto detailing clay bar

Even with a good cleaning, you can still find sticky residue on your vehicle’s exterior, like tree sap and bugs in the spring and summer months. The most important thing is, if you don’t treat these spots correctly, you could damage your exterior. An auto detailing clay bar is the perfect investment for this job. The clay rubs any contaminants off the surface of the car. You simply spray the surface and then rub the clay bar along with the paintwork, where it will pick up anything that sticks out.

Don’t forget to wax on, wax off!

Many people take the time to clean their vehicles but then they forget about the wax! This is bad because the wax is used as a protective barrier between the paintwork and any dirt or grime. If you need any suggestions of which wax to use, feel free to give us a call and we can help in any way.  Once you apply the wax you’ll need to do so again in 8-12 weeks.

Say NO to automatic car washes

An automatic car wash may seem quick and convenient, but it’s unlikely to look after your luxury car. Some car washes may actually damage your car’s paintwork, and at a comparably cheap price, they’re probably not using products that are good for your luxury vehicle. Washing and detailing your car carefully by hand is always going to give you the best finish and protection.

Spring is right around the corner, which means there is no better time than now to get a kick start on your spring service!

Do some competitive research 

• Like I said before it is important to be informed before heading to the dealership
• Visit multiple websites and check the value of similar vehicles with the same mileage while monitoring e-commerce sites to follow your car model’s auction price
• Print all the information you find 

Look for promotions

• Offer on your trade-in can be affected by several factors, including current inventory and the likelihood the car will sell

Fix the dings 

• You want to make the car look as new as possible and if that means spending a little money to get those dings on the exterior touched up it might be worth it if that means you’ll get more money back for your trade-in.

Stage your car

• Just like selling your home, your vehicle should be as clean as you can get. Yes, dealers can tell if the vehicle’s performance is in good shape or not regardless of how clean it is but the better it looks could really go the extra mile when it comes to the offer price.

Have Receipts handy 

• Keeping records and receipts. If so, when the day arrives to finally trade your vehicle, you can show the dealer receipts for all the purchases and repair work done on the car. If the dealer questions the condition of a certain engine part or area of the car, you can backup your side with
