m aintenance and repair work.
In addition, depots are provided

MERCEDES-BENZ original spare

More than 200 000 different spare

models, are furtherm ore stocked in
the central plant warehouses.
We w arrant maximum operational
efficiency and reliability as well as
optimum retention of the vehicle
value when MERCEDES-BENZ
o riginal spare parts are installed,
as they are subjected to most
severe quality inspections. Each
part has been specifically develop­
ed, manufactured or selected fo r
and adapted to MERCEDES-BENZ
vehicles.
For this reason, only MERCEDES-
BENZ original spare parts should
be installed.
