Mercedes Sprinter Service

[mkstn1400]

I am curious about getting a Sprinter MH serviced at a Mercedes facility. Do all Mercedes service MH's or only certain ones? Is there a long wait time to get service? Can oil changes be made a Quick Lub facilities?

Any input would be helpful.

Thanks

I've had a Sprinter since 2008 and recently bought a sprinter motor home. My MB dealer that has taken care of my sprinter does the motor homes too. Even inspections. I love them!! They get me right in and out.

Just like Ford dealerships, not all MB dealers will deal with a motorhome.


Regarding the oil change, the Sprinter requires oil that meets certain specs. DO NOT let anyone tell you it's OK to use an oil that doesn't meet these specs. A quick lube place can be a danger to a Sprinter. The oil filter is not a spin on canister type and if installed wrong, the engine can be destroyed. The filter is super easy to change IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. Alas, many of these oil change places do not. When I was working on cars at a VW/Porsche/Audi shop we saw more than a few quick lube place screw ups.

We own a Mercedes Metris, which is just starting to be notified by upfitters, and for the commercial vans, MB has a separate division from the (luxury) cars. Not all MB dealers are Mercedes Commercial Van dealers, but you can search at their site mbvans.com

Not every Mercedes Dealer has service for Sprinters.

We've owned our Sprinter RV since 2014. We have had service in various areas in the US and in Canada.We have found a dealer within a reasonable distance of wherever we have been traveling.

I only found one Mercedes dealer in KC that can do service. Something to do with bays, training, etc, I was told.

Any Freightline dealer can service a MB Sprinter.

We are looking to purchase a Mercedes Sprinter. Looked at Ford but interior is not very nice. Dodge only has V6 gas engine.
