Is it Better to Do the Service Yourself or at a Mercedes Shop?

Model: Mercedes Classe E W213 - Years 2016-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we address a question that any Mercedes owner has asked at least once in their life: Is it better to take the vehicle for service at a Mercedes shop or at a general shop (of course, using original parts, otherwise the warranty is void)? And what about doing it yourself? (Always consider the option of original parts if you are under warranty; remember: it must be documented). As our YouTuber says, you need to be an expert to work on these vehicles, and even if the cost is slightly higher, it is always preferable to go to a specialized shop for their superior expertise.
