Denver Mercedes Repair

Mercedes-Benz vehicles are designed for safety and performance. But even the finest automobile depends on properly functioning brakes — and one of the most critical components of the brake system is the brake caliper. At MB Clinic in Denver we help Mercedes-Benz owners to keep their vehicles in top condition - including the braking system. We offer professional caliper inspections, repairs, and caliper replacements, if necessary. What Does a Brake Caliper Do? In simple terms, brake calipers are the “hands” that grip the brake rotors when you press the brake pedal. They hold the brake pads in place and apply force to increase friction between brake pads and rotors, and thus reduce vehicle speed or bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Over time, brake calipers may deteriorate and you may notice symptoms that will alert you that something is wrong: Vehicle pulling to one side when braking Uneven brake pad wear Leaking brake fluid near the wheels R ... read more

When your Mercedes fails to blow warm air on that cold night, chances are there is something wrong with the heater core or the other parts of the heating system.  Heater core looks like a small radiator, and that is exactly what it is. Hot coolant carrying heat from the engine cycles through the heater core, and when you turn on warm air, blower motor directs air over this radiator, causing the air  to warm up, and then through the vents it enters the cabin. When this system malfunctions, it is likely that either the blower motor is not doing its job (no air is coming out of the vents), or there is a problem with the heater core itself. Low coolant levels will negatively impact heating function, and they are often due to heater core leaks. Clogged heater core can also results in insufficient heat transfer, and so can a faulty heater valve. At MB Clinic we will diagnose the exact reason for the failure - there are many reasons why heating might not work, though heater core an ... read more

The Mercedes-Benz W123 is celebrated as one of the most durable and well-built cars in automotive history. Known for its solid engineering, timeless design, and remarkable longevity, it has become a favorite among drivers worldwide, from busy city streets to remote mountain roads. But what many people don’t realize is that this legendary model nearly pushed Mercedes-Benz into financial trouble. How could a car so good almost bankrupt one of the world’s most respected automakers? Let’s take a closer look. The Birth of a Legend Introduced in 1976, the W123 series quickly gained a reputation for quality and reliability. Available in various configurations — sedans, wagons, coupes, and even long-wheelbase versions — the W123 offered versatile options for a wide range of customers. Mercedes-Benz engineers designed the W123 with durability as their top priority. They used high-grade materials, thicker steel, and meticulously tested components ... read more

Firestone analyzed data from over 9 million cars serviced at its stores recently, and found that 45% of Mercedes-Benz vehicles had underinflated tires. On average, they needed to add 16 psi. Higher fuel costs are a direct result of underinflated tires, because they increase rolling resistance. Moreover, this can increase tire wear as well, resulting in in need of more frequent tire replacement. According to Firestone, all US drivers (not just Mercedes owners) overspend by almost $19 billion annually just on fuel alone. But this is only first part of bad news. Underinflated tires can also cause difficulties handling the vehicle, and can also increase the risk of blowouts. Winter driving with underinflated tires reduces road traction increasing probability of skidding and sliding. We are not aware of any study that would try to quantify these additional costs – both monetary, and health costs of potential accidents due to poor handling and tire blowouts. So to minimize the risk ... read more

“Dream Days” is a recently launched campaign to celebrate partnership with Junior Achievement, which provides students with career and life education to help them pursue their dreams.

Facing engine failure in a Mercedes-Benz can feel overwhelming. Whether you’ve noticed a dramatic loss of power, heard strange knocking noises, or been told that your engine is beyond repair, you're now at a crossroads: should you rebuild the engine or replace it entirely? Both options are major decisions involving time, cost, and the long-term performance of your vehicle. Understanding the differences between a rebuild and a replacement can help you choose the path that best suits your car’s needs and your budget. What’s the Difference Between a Rebuild and a Replacement An engine rebuild involves disassembling the existing engine, cleaning and inspecting all components, and replacing or machining worn parts such as pistons, bearings, valves, and gaskets. The original engine block is typically retained, preserving the vehicle’s original structure. A replacement, on the other hand, means installing a new or remanufactured engine. This co ... read more

If you own a Mercedes-Benz, you’ve probably heard that it can go up to 10,000 miles between oil changes. That’s a lot longer than what most people are used to. It might sound like a smart way to save time and money, but the truth is, it depends on how and where you drive. Mercedes engines are advanced and built with long intervals in mind, but sticking to a blanket 10,000-mile rule isn’t always the best approach. So, how far can you really go between oil changes? And what happens if you wait too long? Here’s what Mercedes-Benz owners should know. Why Mercedes Recommends Longer Intervals Mercedes-Benz uses high-quality synthetic oils and engineering that’s designed to handle higher mileage between services. These oils resist breakdown, keep your engine clean, and provide consistent lubrication over time. The vehicle’s onboard computer also monitors your driving habits, engine conditions, and temperature extremes to recommend when i ... read more

Your Mercedes was designed and manufactured to very exacting standards. Yet most of the 8 ways to make your vehicle last longer are simple and straightforward, so without further ado, here are the eight ways to make your car last longer:   Regular Oil Changes:   Following regular oil change schedule is crucial for engine health and its longevity.   Fluids Checks:  Bring your Mercedes to MB Clinic for regular fluid checks. We will check and top off fluids as needed. Coolant, brake fluid, windshield washer fluid – they all need periodic checks to ensure optimal performance, and to correct any leaks.   Tire Rotation:   Rotating tires extends tire life and improves overall vehicle handling.   Maintaining Correct Tire Pressure: Tires inflated to manufacturer specifications improve fuel economy, suffer less wear and tear, enhance safety and improve ride comfort.   ... read more

If you’ve spent time behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz, you might’ve noticed something about how it drives—there’s a different kind of balance and feel, especially in how it handles curves or accelerates from a stop. One big reason for that? Rear-wheel drive. While many other brands have moved toward front-wheel drive for simplicity and cost savings, Mercedes has largely stuck with RWD, and for good reason. This setup isn’t just a leftover from tradition—it’s a deliberate choice that shapes how their vehicles perform. From their sedans to their sportier models, rear-wheel drive plays a big role in how a Mercedes feels on the road. So why does it matter, and what difference does it make when you're behind the wheel? Performance Is the Primary Reason Rear-wheel drive offers a key advantage for performance-oriented vehicles: it allows the front wheels to focus solely on steering while the rear wheels handle power delivery ... read more

Mercedes-Benz vehicles are built for precision and performance, but their transmissions require regular care to maintain that signature driving experience. Whether you have an automatic or manual transmission, keeping up with service intervals is key to smooth shifting and long-term reliability. The right maintenance schedule depends on your model, driving conditions, and how hard you push your vehicle. So, how often should you actually service your Mercedes-Benz transmission? Mercedes-Benz Transmission Service Intervals Mercedes-Benz vehicles typically feature advanced automatic transmissions, including 7-speed (7G-Tronic) and 9-speed (9G-Tronic) transmissions. These sophisticated systems are designed for smooth, efficient shifting, but they still require periodic maintenance to prevent wear and fluid breakdown. For most automatic Mercedes-Benz models, transmission service is recommended every 40,000 to 60,000 miles. However, this interval may vary depending on you ... read more
