Spare Parts Service

All MERCEDES-BENZ service

spare parts required for main­
tenance and repair work. In
addition, strategically located parts
distribution centers provide quick
and reliable parts service.
More than 200000 different spare
parts, even for rather old vehicle
models, are available.
MERCEDES-BENZ original spare
parts are subjected to most severe
quality inspections. Each part has
been specifically developed, manu­
factured or selected for and adap­
ted to MERCEDES-BENZ vehicles,
therefore, MERCEDES-BENZ
original spare parts should be in­
stalled.
