Owning a Mercedes-AMG vehicle is all about experiencing world-class performance, precision engineering, and unmatched luxury. To maintain the peak performance your AMG delivers, it’s essential to follow the recommended maintenance schedule designed specifically for AMG models. At Ed Hicks Imports in Corpus Christi, our factory-trained technicians specialize in AMG models, providing the care your high-performance vehicle deserves.
Why AMG Maintenance is Critical
AMG vehicles are built for power, precision, and speed, with advanced engines and components designed to deliver extraordinary performance. Regular maintenance ensures that your AMG continues to provide the exhilarating driving experience it’s known for, whether you’re taking a spirited drive on Ocean Drive or cruising along the Gulf Coast.
At Ed Hicks Imports, we use genuine Mercedes-AMG parts and the latest diagnostic tools to provide specialized care that keeps your vehicle running at its best. Let’s take a look at the recommended maintenance intervals for your Mercedes-AMG.
Recommended Mercedes-AMG Maintenance Intervals
- 10,000 Miles / 1 Year – AMG Service A
- AMG-specific synthetic motor oil and filter replacement
- Inspection of all fluid levels, including coolant, brake fluid, and power steering
- Tire inspection and adjustment of tire pressure
- Brake component inspection, including pads, rotors, and calipers
- Reset maintenance counter
- Why it’s important: AMG engines work harder than standard engines, making regular oil changes and brake inspections critical. This service ensures your AMG continues to perform like the finely-tuned machine it is, especially when enjoying the open roads near Mustang Island or Padre Island.
- 20,000 Miles / 2 Years – AMG Service B
- All AMG Service A tasks included
- Cabin air filter replacement
- Brake fluid exchange
- AMG engine air filter inspection and replacement (if necessary)
- Comprehensive inspection of all safety systems and electronic components
- Why it’s important: At the 20,000-mile mark, your AMG requires a more detailed inspection, focusing on the brakes and air filtration systems. The brake fluid exchange is especially important for AMG vehicles, as high-performance driving generates more heat, putting additional stress on the brake system.
- 30,000 Miles – Transmission and Differential Service
- Transmission fluid and filter replacement (if applicable)
- Inspection of the AMG Speedshift transmission and differential fluid levels
- Why it’s important: Your AMG’s transmission is designed for quick gear changes and dynamic performance. At 30,000 miles, it’s important to ensure that your transmission and differential are properly lubricated and functioning at their best to avoid issues during high-speed driving.
- 40,000 Miles – Spark Plug Replacement
- Replacement of AMG-specific spark plugs
- Inspection of ignition coils and wiring
- Why it’s important: High-performance engines like AMG models require high-quality spark plugs to ignite the air-fuel mixture efficiently. Regular spark plug replacement ensures maximum power output and fuel efficiency, especially when accelerating on I-37 or winding through local scenic roads.
- 50,000 Miles – AMG Exhaust and Turbocharger Inspection
- Comprehensive inspection of the AMG exhaust system and turbochargers (if applicable)
- Cleaning or replacement of exhaust components as needed
- Why it’s important: AMG vehicles often come equipped with high-performance turbochargers and specialized exhaust systems that enhance power and sound. This inspection ensures that your AMG continues to deliver that signature AMG roar without any loss in power or efficiency.
- 60,000 Miles and Beyond – Repeat of Service A and B with Additional Focus
- Regular Service A and B tasks
- Focused inspections on key AMG components such as suspension, exhaust, and electronics
- Replacement of wear-prone parts to maintain peak performance
- Why it’s important: As your AMG reaches higher mileage, staying on top of maintenance is critical. Our technicians will focus on the specific performance aspects of your vehicle to ensure it continues to provide the thrill you expect from an AMG.
Special Considerations for Corpus Christi AMG Owners
With Corpus Christi’s warm climate and coastal environment, AMG owners should take extra care with certain components like the tires, air conditioning system, brakes, and turbochargers. The salt air can also accelerate wear on exposed parts, so regular inspections are crucial. Ed Hicks Imports is equipped to address these challenges and provide tailored maintenance solutions for AMG owners in the area.
