Mercedes-Benz Servicing Brisbane

This is a question that we get asked quite a bit, do I need the genuine Mercedes-Benz brakes when mine needs replacing? You actually don’t need the exact name brand brakes for your Mercedes Benz, and at LeMan’s motors, we do offer an alternative brake option that is the same quality as the original brakes but nowhere near as expensive.

If you like keeping your Mercedes-Benz with the brand name equipment, then we’re more than happy to supply you with these parts as well. At LeMans Motors, we like to give you options as to what parts you want put in your car. At dealerships, they’ll never give you an option to choose from brand to alternative replacement options.

We know that this might be a bit of a shift in thinking from your usual service and having options can be a bit more confusing. That’s why we always explain the options in your language. When you need your Mercedes-Benz brakes changed, and you’re perhaps confused about which option you should go with, then your LeMans mechanic will be more than happy to talk you through the pro’s and con’s of each option to leave you feeling confident with your decision. You won’t just drive away with a new set of brakes, you’ll also be driving away with a renewed sense of safety in your recently serviced car.

One of the key differentiators between European cars and non-European cars is their reliance on technology to figure out what’s going on with your car and to keep your car running. When you book your Mercedes-Benz into LeMans, we use our diagnostic software to understand what’s going on with your car so that we can fix what needs to be fixed and find any issues as soon as possible. 

If you’re noticing that there’s an issue with your car’s electronics, then book into LeMans to discover what’s going on. With our diagnostic tools, we’ll be able to localise the problem and give you a solution, no matter if it’s to do with your car’s electronics or with your clutch. 

We’ve invested in the right technology so that we can be your one-stop-shop for all things to do with your Mercedes-Benz. There’s nothing worse than finding out that there’s a problem with your car and having to take it somewhere else to get it fixed. You’re busy and your time is valuable, that’s why we always tell you what’s happening up front, and never try to lead you down the wrong path. We also tell you what’s happening with your car on your terms, so if ever you don’t understand something, we’ll be happy to explain why we’re giving you certain recommendations.

Unfortunately, clutches will wear out on your Mercedes-Benz and when that happens you will need to replace them. Fortunately, there are a few options when your clutch fails. At LeMans, we supply genuine Mercedes-Benz parts but we also provide you with an option to get a quality non-branded replacement. These parts work just as well as the genuine parts but they come at a fraction of the price. 

We provide options for all of our services at LeMan’s because we know that everybody’s situation is unique, and what suits one person’s budget and timeframe may not suit another. Not everyone will want genuine Mercedes-Benz parts, and we’re more than happy to cater to these needs. 

Look out for the following symptoms that something is happening to your Mercedes-Benz clutch: 

• That your car gets noisy when in neutral but quietens when the clutch is pressed
• Squealing or any noise when you press your clutch
• That accelerating is causing your car to make a lot of noise
• Grinding noises when changing gears
• Difficulty putting your car into gear

We get asked this question quite a bit, and the answer is a resounding no! There’s a lot of misinformation floating around about whether or not you can use independent mechanics to service your Mercedes-Benz. Dealerships often use scare tactics to force you into maintaining a maintenance schedule with them. But the truth is, having your car serviced at a non-dealer absolutely doesn’t void your car’s warranty. As long as you maintain your logbook services and fix any issues as they arise, then your warranty won’t be voided and you’ll also maintain the resale value of your Mercedes-Benz.

Dealerships will say that their technicians have a greater understanding of their specific car brands than independent mechanics because they’re the only type of car that they deal with. In reality, with European cars like your Mercedes-Benz, as long as you have the right diagnostic tools and the right training to operate them then you’ll be able to understand any problems that your car is experiencing. 

Our mechanics have been working with European cars for decades, and they have access to the right diagnostic tools to give your car its logbook service and tackle any bumps that you might have along the way. Working with a wide range of European cars also means our mechanics approach problems from different perspectives and have a more holistic understanding of cars in general. This overarching knowledge means they’re able to localise problems faster and get to the root cause and fix it easier.
