Taking Shortcuts with Maintenance
Table of Contents
While these vans are built to endure the long road ahead, they need regular maintenance. Their reputation for durability has led many owners to skip or delay sprinter van service, which can be a costly mistake.
We know van maintenance can be costly, but it’s a worthwhile investment. Putting maintenance off may bring short-term savings, but they come at a long-term cost. Regular tire rotations, oil changes, and coolant flushes may prevent more expensive repairs in the future.
Cutting Corners on Oil and Filter Changes
When changing your Sprinter van’s oil—a job our licensed technicians are ready to take on—it’s crucial to use the manufacturer’s recommended oil and filter. These products are designed for the Sprinter’s diesel engine, and using other types of oil may lead to dangerous sludge buildup. Along with the best oil, we’ll use oil and fuel filters specially designed for the Sprinter van’s chassis and engine.
Ignoring Steering Wheel Vibrations and Tire Problems
If your van’s steering wheel vibrates while it’s in motion, prompt action may prevent mechanical failure. Steering wheel vibrations are often caused by dangerously worn or underinflated tires. When your van has the shakes, get it checked out as soon as possible.
Using Aftermarket Parts for Maintenance and Repairs
While there’s much to be said for the community that’s grown up around Sprinter vans, the use of aftermarket parts should be reconsidered. Third-party rotors, brakes, and other components are prone to overheating, cracking, and failure, which makes them a poor choice. Don’t make a risky and costly mistake—ask for genuine Mercedes-Benz parts when your van needs repairs.
Choosing Non-Specialist Repair Shops
Drivers and business owners everywhere value the Sprinter van for its fuel economy, great handling, and superior performance—all of which come from the van’s advanced diesel engine. Despite that fact, many choose generalized repair shops.
Anyone who drives a Sprinter knows that it’s full of sensors and computers that monitor every aspect of the van’s performance, and only a specialized repair shop can address those aspects properly. We have the factory parts and diagnostic equipment needed to service Sprinter vans, and we invite you to schedule an appointment today.
