Where can you get an oil change for a Mercedes, somewhere near the villages?

I buy my my own Mobil 1 oil at Walmart, a Mann or Hengst oil filter/washer and take it all to AUTOMASTERS in Leesburg..they charge me about $30 for labor. My total cost is the $30 labor, plus the $50 for oil and $14 for the filter/washers...total cost is about $94. ...and I can wait for the car.

Located about 1/2 hour from Lake Sumter Landing (20 minutes from Rohan Ctr) near the corner of Rte 44 and 27 in Leesbirg. Fairly easy to make an appointment.

Repairs all high end cars and on any day you can find a Jaguar, Mercedes, , Lexus or a Lamborghini sitting out front.

Ditto from me for Automasters in Leesburg as well. Brought our MB there for an A service a few months ago. They use the very best synth oils, filters, and parts. Very experienced with all hi-end makes. When I was there, a Lambo was out front, with 2 Aston-Martins, and other High $$$ cars.
They came highly recommended to me and I was very pleased with their service and quality.

We use MB of Gainesville. Call them, they send someone to pick up your car, leave you a new MB loaner, and return it when completed. For any service, even just an oil change. And we did not buy ours there, bought it in Virginia.

I take my Lexus to the car wash in front of Winn Dixie on Bichara Blvd near Spanish Springs.

Does it really matter where you get an oil change for a Mercedes, Toyota, Ford or any other kind of car?

If you don’t cherish your possessions, no.

I recall a show on one of the business stations. They asked the marketing manager for Mercedes why they cost more in the US then in the rest of the world. The reply was they found Americans would rather pay more.

TRUTH-One of my friends owned TWO Jaguars at the same time. He needed TWO so that one was capable of being driven. He was thrilled when a drunk smashed both of them parked in front of his home. Insurance paid far more thna he could have sold them for.

I would not take your Mercedes to Walmart or a Jiffy Lube. If someone offers you a $29-59 oil change even with a coupon....immediately turn around and walk out. Just does not happen. Mercedes require full synthetic oil and I would not leave that to chance with a person unfamiliar with my car. Just as important is the type of oil filter you use...alot of $3.95 specials out there that you donot want to use. Also during a simply oil change a good shop will normally do a safety check and having someone familiar with your brand of car would be helpful. Stay away from the shops that "always" find something to repair during those cheap oil changes.

You spent good money up front for a high end car, expect to pay for maintenance to keep the car in decent mechanical shape

It does matter that you use the viscosity and specification of the manufacturer.

I don’t use the required 0W-20. Only reason this is specified is it gets the car through the required mpg requirements. I always use 5W-30 synthetic. Less oil consumption and does not harm the engine one bit. Plus it’s a whole lot cheaper.

My Yugo required oil changes at 2000 miles but it never made it.
