EQS service tips

Know before you go

A basic EQS service should cost ₹20,000–₹32,000. If the quote is higher, ask for a line-item breakdown — additives and unnecessary "top-up services" are the common inflators.

Use the correct oil

The EQS is spec'd for N/A (Electric). Don't let service centres upsell to premium grades unless your variant specifically requires them.

Go multi-brand after warranty

Once the 3 years / unlimited km warranty ends, multi-brand garages can save ₹800–₹2,500 per service. Look for mechanics with Mercedes-Benz experience and Denso/Bosch-certified parts.
