Finding a good mechanic for your Maybach can be difficult, but it’s more important than a lot of people realize. The best way to keep any vehicle in excellent condition is by staying up to date on the maintenance schedule, and while you can do many of the required tasks by yourself, it’s generally a good idea to go to a trusted and experienced mechanic so you can be certain the job will be done right.
That’s why we will walk you through some of the common problems Maybach owners run into and what to do when you need service.
The Most Common Maybach Problems
Maybachs, like most other Mercedes-Benz vehicles, are incredibly reliable, but that doesn’t mean they can’t have problems. All mechanical systems are susceptible to common problems of wear and tear. Combine that with the technology inside a Maybach, and there will be malfunctions as your car gracefully ages.
Below we’ve listed the most common reasons we service Maybach’s in our auto center. If you suspect your car is having any of these issues, give us a call today and we’ll fix it quickly:
Lowered fuel efficiency
This is a problem that can be caused by many different internal failures or other situations. Because the systems of your car are intertwined and dependent on each other, seemingly separate problems can actually affect each other. That’s why it’s always a good idea to keep tabs on how often you’re filling up your vehicle. If you notice that you’re having to stop by the gas station more often than usual, that can mean there are problems going on inside that you might be unaware of.
Grinding or squeaking brakes
A car’s brakes are under constant duress, as they are responsible for bringing your very heavy vehicle to a stop efficiently whenever you depress the pedal. Because of its constant use, the brake pads get worn down very quickly and need to be replaced on a regular basis.
It’s best to keep up with your car’s maintenance routine and bring it to a certified mechanic if you notice any grinding or squeaking sounds. The brakes are there to keep you and any passengers safe, so it’s vital to keep them in working order. Also, no one wants to pull up to an event and suffer the embarrassment of squeaky or squealing brakes.
Shaking of the steering wheel
Often, this problem stems from issues with your car’s suspension. Similar to the brakes, the suspension is one of the systems that is put under extreme stress every time you are driving. The suspension is responsible for steering and keeping the weight of the car balanced evenly over all four wheels. A shaking steering wheel, or other difficulties with steering your car, might be caused by a suspension problem.
Flat tires
For obvious reasons, a car’s tires are some of the most important parts of the vehicle, probably second only to the engine and transmission. The tires are what allow the car to move, and they deal with constant friction and pressure as they carry the car’s entire weight over possibly rough terrain. Because of this, low, leaking or flat tires are an eventuality. Have a game plan ready and be prepared to change out your tires every 6 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Check your tires often for signs of uneven wear or tread issues. This will keep you from being surprised or caught out on a drive.
