Bavarian Rennsport offers the most affordable Mercedes Benz oil changes in Jacksonville, FL. An oil change for Mercedes Benz vehicles requires a specific kind of oil and needs to be performed on a regular schedule determined by the factory (Service A and Service B).
Our Mercedes Oil Change Service is simply an oil change and oil filter replacement for your Mercedes Benz. We use the highest quality LIQUI-MOLY oils and additives made specifically for Mercedes vehicles. We also include a fault code scan and basic visual inspection with every oil change. Be sure to request a Mercedes Service A or B if your dash recommends one of these services specifically.
You should schedule an oil change for Mercedes Benz vehicles every 3K-5,000 miles (depending on how you drive) or rely on your Service Indicator Lights or Service Interval System to tell you when you’re due for Service A or Service B at Bavarian Rennsport.
A Mercedes oil change is recommended at precise intervals called Service A and Service B to help keep your vehicle running to the best of its ability, giving your Mercedes Benz increased longevity. We keep attentive service records and report your service and repairs to CARFAX. This shows how much you’ve cared for your Mercedes Benz and will help you maintain a higher resale value.
When you schedule or perform an oil change, it is important to ask if there are any other factory recommended maintenance services that you should also perform based on the current age and mileage of your car. Staying on top of routine maintenance will help keep your car running in optimal condition for longer.
The heart of your car is its motor, and motor oil is its blood. Not all oil is the same. As the performance in motors continues to develop, the need for high-quality oil products is also on the rise. Nowadays, the oil has to do a lot more for your motor than just lubricate and cool; it has to work when it is at very high pressures and temperatures, it has to clean the motor of fuel particles, acids, abrasions, combustion residues, and water, as well as protect the motor from corrosion and guarantee nothing will be able to get in. Modern motor oils, like LIQUI MOLY, are high-tech products designed for certain car models – basically, they are tailor-made for your car. That’s why car manufacturers only give their approval to selected oils, and why we selected LIQUI MOLY as our exclusive product for oil change services. LIQUI MOLY offers the matching motor oil for your Mercedes Benz. Their motor oils have a variety of approvals by German and overseas car manufacturers and exceed the requirements of Mercedes Benz. LIQUI MOLY actually has a higher cleaning performance than what is required by the factory.

To ensure the best quality of driving and optimal performance we use the Hunter Engineer’s Tire Changer and ROAD FORCE® ELITE DIAGNOSTIC WHEEL BALANCER. The Road Force® Elite diagnostic wheel balancer delivers exceptional balancing service and performs a Road Force® and balance faster than a traditional wheel balance. The Road Force® Elite solves wheel vibration problems that traditional wheel balancers can’t fix. This diagnostic wheel balancer machine detects non-balance, radial-force related problems associated with tire uniformity, tire, and rim runout, wheel balancer mounting errors and improper bead seat of the tire to the rim. Hunter Engineering is the only equipment trusted by Mercedes Benz and most other car manufacturers.

Advancements in automotive technology have made achieving an optimum ride more complex.
The demand for more responsive equipment has led to a tighter suspension and lower profile tires. These features make vehicles more sensitive to vibration forces. Standard balancing often proves effective in addressing ride vibration problems. However, there are certain non-balance related factors that standard balancing doesn’t address.
Tire and wheel manufacturing is very precise, but some inconsistencies in weight, stiffness, and balance are inevitable. Called lateral or radial runout, these inconsistencies are low or high points in the tire and wheel construction.
Some tires may have a spot that is stiffer than the rest of the tire. This condition is called force variation. Runout and force variation can cause noticeable ride vibrations. If standard balancing isn’t providing the smooth ride you want for your vehicle, it is possible that runout or force variation are the real culprits. Match mounting and road force balancing can be used to counteract these issues.
At one time, the common solution to issues like lateral or radial runout and force variation was matching balancing. Tire technicians would mount a tire and wheel assembly together and align a marked point on the tire with the valve stem on the wheel. This supposedly aligned the high spot in the tire with the low spot in the wheel. However, this process is largely ineffective.
The valve stem is no longer guaranteed to be the low point of runout in the wheel. Wheels have become more complex and more ornate, making the valve stem placement cosmetic rather than strategic. Although force match balancing can still produce results, the most reliable process for eliminating these non-balance based vibrations is road force balancing.
Road force balancing sometimes called ride matching is the most effective way to diagnose and resolve runout or force variation vibrations. A road force tire balancer, a state-of-the-art balancing machine, uses a load-roller to simulate the force of the road, and thereby ascertain the combined uniformity of a tire and wheel package.
Hunter Road Force Elite Diagnostic Wheel Balancer measure the force variation and run out of the whole tire and wheel assembly. They also measure and distinguish between the radial and lateral runout of the wheel and tire individually, providing a more accurate account of the variant forces at work in the assembly. This information is then used to determine what steps to take to compensate for any tire and wheel inconsistencies. This may mean simply adding weights or even remounting the tire and wheel to minimize the overall runout.
A variety of factors might cause ride vibrations. Standard balancing, match mounting, and road-force balancing only address a few of the possible causes of ride discomfort. Road force balancing may only be recommended if standard balancing proves ineffective in diagnosing the issue. If both standard balancing and road force balancing does not address the issue, it is possible that the vibration source is not the tire and wheel assemblies.

Bavarian Rennsport is Jacksonville’s independent authoritative Mercedes Benz specialist. Your car will be carefully taken care of by our certified technicians; from inspections or mileage-based service, through complex problem diagnoses such as brakes, suspension, engine, electronic and transmission repairs.
With the complexity and computer integration of today’s vehicles, it often takes a highly skilled technician with advanced level tools to get to the root cause of the problem. Our Mercedes Benz diagnostic testing takes the guesswork out of repairing your Bez.
This service includes:
This diagnostic service should be performed when you are experiencing drivability issues, reduced fuel economy, Drivetrain malfunction warnings, or the typical “Check Engine” or “Service Engine Soon” light illuminated/or flashing. When your “Check Engine” light comes on, a fault code can be stored in one or more of your vehicle’s computers. As soon as any type of service or warning light appears on the dash you should start looking for a solution like Bavarian RennSport’s Diagnostic Service.
The fault codes are always the “tip of the iceberg” taking you to “an area” inside the vehicle’s computers for further testing to properly determine where the real fault is. The diagnostic time allows us to thoroughly test and accurately determine the real cause of the warning light using the professional test equipment we have invested in. As stated on the intake form and verbally explained to the client we always try to diagnose the vehicle in one and a half hours but in more intense situations it can start at three diagnostic hours. As a certified Independent Mercedes Benz service and repair center, our engine diagnostic services help us to provide you with an accurate diagnosis of your vehicle’s problem and a repair that is done correctly up to Mercedes Benz Factory standards the first time. There are certain conditions that have to be met for a trouble code to stay in your vehicle system, and it is vitally important that the technician who is diagnosing your car checks all of them before he/she makes a repair decision which is why the car is scanned when it first arrives and we can address the client’s concerns.
* We only accept diagnostic reports from a Certified Mercedes Benz dealership or facility.*
* Bavarian Rennsport can not perform repairs on a vehicle without diagnosing it first.*
Bavarian Rennsport offers a Free 1-hour Inspection that covers a visual inspection of the vehicle components such as the tire tread, the brake pad, and rotor thickness, a visual inspection of the engine bay for oil and coolant leaks, and a system analysis offering an informational service on your vehicle. We connect to your vehicle and retrieve the codes that are triggering your light to illuminate as well as give you a detailed printout of the fault codes. Once we have a better understanding, our experienced service writers will recommend the appropriate diagnostic time.
This service should be performed when you have a check engine light illuminated and are looking to receive preliminary information before committing to further work.
The second biggest investment you will make in your life will usually be your car. It seems like a no brainer to spend a few hours and a few hundred dollars to ensure that the vehicle you are buying is a good investment. Unfortunately, many car owners bring vehicles to us that they just purchased, only to find there were a lot more problems than the seller led them to believe.
Most private sellers know very little about the car they are trying to sell, and if you want a good deal, you are going to have to know more than them about the vehicle you are buying. The same rule applies to independent car dealers – who very often try “not to know” if the car has any issues. They hope their lack of knowledge will somehow keep them from being obligated to doing something when the buyer has issues in the weeks or months following your purchase.
Bavarian Rennsport offers a complete 360 point Bumper to Bumper Pre-Purchase Inspection that is designed to help you make the right investment, and be aware of any issues you may face down the road by purchasing this vehicle. This Process has Multiple steps throughout the 3-hour process ranging from the Vehicles Details, Initial Vehicle Scan, Maintenance, Drive, Lighting, Underhood, Brakes, Under Vehicle, Tires, Scheduled Maintenance Recommendations, Test Drive, and Final Vehicle Scan.
Implementing all these steps into our Pre-Purchase Inspection allows our Mercedes Benz Certified Technicians to thoroughly search the vehicle for internal and external issues that may or may not be visible to the plain eye and document them within the report that will be emailed and texted to the waiting client.
If you are in the market for a used or pre-owned Mercedes Benz and want to make sure its the best decision, contact Bavarian Rennsport at (904) 270-9390 or book online today!
The Vehicle Details Portion allows our technicians to verify the confirmed vehicle information including the License Plate (if possible), Vin number, Year/Make/Model, Color, and Current Mileage so the reports can be recorded in our system and to Carfax.
The client can voice any concerns in this section and we will make sure to notify them if those areas are good or if they should be worried about them.
The Initial vehicle scan process is implemented to check if any fault codes are present upon the vehicle entering into the building they are printed out and also documented in the report.
This section goes over all the general maintenance sections of your vehicle such as engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid and more.
Road test, dash warning lights, and general findings will be documented here.
The technician will check all lighting options for functionality not only to make sure they illuminate but to make sure they are functioning properly.
This section the technician will be checking for leaks and also the functionality off all moving parts such as belts, pulleys, and electrical components.
Technicians check and document all four pads and rotors measurements along with brake fluid levels and brake pedal response.
Technicians will inspect the undercarriage and all steering suspension components.
Technicians document all tire sizes, pressure and tread depth to make sure they do not need to be replaced due to low tread amount or unusual tread wear.
The scheduled maintenance section is calculated off your vehicle’s VIN number and mileage and is a suggested service maintenance and repair list to think about.
We perform a test drive to make sure we have covered all of the client’s concerns and listen for any additional problems that can be found.
The vehicle is scanned one last time for documentation and to make sure the client knows everything that is wrong with their vehicle before and after leaving our shop.
Please be advised that in the event of any unexpected wait time other clients’ vehicles may take longer than expected to diagnose and treat so unfortunate delays do occur. We will get to your vehicle as soon as possible.
