Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in Irvine, CA specializes in classic Mercedes-Benz vehicle repairs, including high-value models as well as daily drivers.

Did you know that Mercedes-Benz USA offers a comprehensive warranty for virtually every spare part and accessory you buy from a dealer? The warranty not only covers the part, but also the expense of warranty replacement as well. This means if you install a part and it fails within the warranty period, your customer simply brings the car to a dealer and they’ll install the warranty replacement.

That’s right: The warranty includes replacement labor by a dealer.

Almost every part is warranted for 24 months or 24,000 miles from the date of purchase. Some parts, such as StarParts or remote key batteries, have a shorter warranty period, while engines and long blocks carry a 48 month / 50,000 mile warranty (36/36k for vans). Naturally, parts not supplied by Mercedes-Benz, including tires, are not covered by Mercedes-Benz, and certain exclusions apply.

This warranty can be a big selling point for you with your customers: If they allow you to install genuine Mercedes-Benz parts, the repair carries a warranty, and if the installed part fails, it’ll be replaced by a dealer, for free. Be sure to provide your customer with both the dealer purchase receipts and a copy of the Mercedes-Benz parts warranty for their records.

For example, consider an engine which has failed: You can repair the engine, but at a certain point it makes better financial sense to simply buy a remanufactured engine and install it. Once parts and labor are factored in, the cost for repairs may well exceed the cost of the remanufactured engine. Add in the warranty coverage, and your customer will thank you for taking such good care of them. So when facing major engine repairs, be sure to get a price quote from your dealer on a remanufactured unit; you may be surprised at how cost-effective it can be.
