Most people associate Mercedes-Benz vehicles with AMG however, AMG is not exactly the same as Mercedes-Benz. If you’re one of those people who don't know the difference, it’s okay! Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG share many similarities as well as many differences. Our team at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is here to clear things up for you. What Does AMG Stand For? AMG is short for Aufecht, Melcher, and Großaspach, the division of Mercedes-Benz that produces performance vehicles with a sporting heritage, assertive style, and the promise of pure exhilaration. History of AMG In 1967, Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher founded AMG in an old mill in Burgstall, Germany. Nine years later, Mercedes-AMG and about a dozen employees found their new home in a purpose-built workshop and office space in the town of Affalterbach. To this day, they continue to develop Mercedes-AMG vehicles and, over 50 years later, their passion and commitment to driving performance is as strong as the day it started. Difference Between Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG Most of the vehicles this team produces are similar to standard Mercedes-Benz models however, these AMG vehicles are equipped and designed with advanced engines, aerodynamic bodies, and high-speed capabilities. Many of these one of a kind Mercedes-AMG engines are hand-built from start to finish. Whenever Mercedes-Benz launches a new line of vehicles, the AMG team collaborates and incorporates AMG engines and technologies into those vehicles; ultimately creating a more powerful and versatile model.   Stop by Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown and explore our large inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles. Test-drive vehicles like the New 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC 43 AMG or the New 2020 Mercedes-Benz C 43 AMG. Schedule a service online or contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

We’ve all been there. Driving, running errands, whether it be shopping at the Smith Haven Mall in Lake Grove, doing our groceries at Uncle Giuseppe’s in Smithtown, or even grabbing a bite at Maureen's Kitchen, when suddenly our dashboard illuminates a warning symbol. Fifty percent of people ignore said warning light to worry about it at a later time, while the other fifty percent of people rush to their web browser on their IPhone or Android to find out what could possibly have gone awry in their GLA 250, GLC 300, C 300, or even their E 450. If you are one of the latter fifty percent of people, you are in luck! We’re here to diminish your curiosity. Tire Pressure Light In the case that this light appears on your dashboard, it simply means that one (or multiple) of your tires has low pressure. On newer cars in the fleet, your dash can even tell you what tire pressure each of your tires is currently at, helping you find out which one needs more air. Similarly, if your tire pressure is extremely low, you know that you may have a flat tire. Call Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance (1-800- 367-6372) to help you get a tow to bring your car to the Service Department for repair. Gas Light The appearance of this warning light indicates that your vehicle’s fuel or gas level is getting low. The great thing for those that have the helpful “Hey Mercedes” feature, is that you can ask the system to take you to the nearest gas station, or even a gas station on your way home. For example, you can say “Hey Mercedes, take me to the nearest King’s Park gas station.” and she will figure out which is closest to you! Check Engine Light It may look like a submarine, but this is a check engine light. This could be a problem with your engine system,the fuel injection system, the exhaust, or even the ignition system. When this light comes on, you should take your vehicle into our Service Department in the Selden vicinity to get looked at. Seat Belt Indicator This one is one of the easier signs to recognize, you may have even seen it this morning when you accidentally forgot to put your seatbelt on while rushing to get to your dentist appointment in Hauppauge! Simply putting your (and your passenger’s) seat belt on does away with the warning light’s appearance . Battery Light This warning means that the battery is not being charged, or that it has lost its charge in your vehicle. You may require a jump start on your vehicle or even to replace the battery. Have one of our staff members from our Service Department help you with a Diagnosis to see what is specifically needed. Airbag Light The airbag light means that your SRS system may have a fault. This SRS malfunction could result in your airbag not being properly deployed if at all,  in case of any accident or emergency. It is recommended that you see our Service Department for a Diagnosis to prevent any danger that could result from the absence of a functional airbag in your vehicle. Brake Wear Light The brake wear light signifies that your brake rotors or pads are worn, and are in need of replacing. Parking Brake Light The Parking Brake light is as simple as it may sound, your parking brake is in place. Many of those that live in the sloped areas of Saint James leave this on accidentally when parking in the street. If driving, release the parking brake so as to not damage your brake system or your vehicle. Coolant Light This light could mean that either your vehicle’s coolant leve l is low, or that there could be an issue with the coolant system. Overheating could be possible. Seek the Service Department to inquire about the necessary cautions to take for you and your vehicle’s safety. ABS Light The ABS Light signifies that your ABS brake system has a malfunction. You will still be able to start and stop, though extra functions may be limited such as the Electronic Stability Program, Brake Assist, and Anti-Locking, on your brake system. ESP/ESC Light This light indicates that the Electronic Stability Program/ Electronic Stability Control functions are limited, meaning that when making turns, skidding on slippery surfaces, or even just braking, you do not have the extra stability that the ESP program provides. These warning lights are the most common that appear on dashboards for Centereach, Smithtown, Coram, East Setauket, Port Jefferson, Islandia, and surrounding areas’ driver's vehicles. Should you have any more questions, concerns, trouble setting up an appointment for your vehicle’s concern , or even if you see a light that doesn’t appear on this list, feel free to contact our Service Department to have someone assist you with your worries.

Mercedes-Benz is always switching things up and it’s no different when it comes to the newest wagon that will appear in the E-Class lineup. Without sacrificing in style,safety, or comfort the new vehicle will be the first of its kind for Mercedes-Benz lovers in Smithtown. Exterior The outside of the vehicle imitates an SUV-like character but the part that usual Saint James Mercedes-Benz wagon drivers may not be accustomed to is that now the wagon will feature distinctive matte-black body cladding inspired by the modern-day crossover. Not only will the long-roofed vehicle include body cladding, but it will also include a skid plate, fender flares, and off road pretensions for those unpredictable Selden roads. With a redesigned grille, LED headlamps and taillamps, and 19” wheels (or an optional 20”) complete with all season run-flat tires, this wagon is ready to tackle any type of road that you decide to take. This car is something new and fresh that we haven’t seen out of a Mercedes-Benz wagon yet. Interior The future is at your fingertips within the cabin of the luxury wagon. With the Artificial Intelligence fueled upgraded MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system you can use your voice, touchpad, or even the steering wheel to use the system to your advantage. With the touchpad, you have no more need to fiddle around with the twist-and-push scroll knob when trying to put in directions to the Lake Grove/Smith Haven Mall, adding to user convenience. If you still don’t want to bother with buttons or a mouse-like pad, no worries, the central screen is touch sensitive. On the widescreen dual display you will find impeccable smartphone integration with either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to help you stay on top of whatever life throws at you. Keeping with the theme of luxury, the interior still includes the 64-color Ambient Lighting that we all know and love (no matter how hard it gets to choose a color), optional Active Lane Control, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Change Assist for those that decide to stay on the more manicured Port Jefferson roads in the all-terrain vehicle. Don’t be discouraged by all the cutting-edge technology though, Mercedes-Benz didn’t forget the good old’ comfy heated front seats. Performance Although you might expect this wagon to be a diesel, the car uses an equally powerful hybridized inline-six cylinder engine instead. Reinforcing 362 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque all into a 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic transmission, Mercedes-Benz has exceptionally created an engine worthy of withstanding it all. EQ Boost, the 21-horsepower starter-generator, fills in low-end torque with an additional 184 pound-feet, resulting in faster reflexes and a faster acceleration despite the weight of the car. With AIR BODY CONTROL air suspension, the car feels comfortable no matter the distance you’re going. It’s minimum ground clearance is about two inches more than the 3.7 inches on the 2020 wagon, as well as the air suspension being able to raise it even higher than the regular E-Class making the car superbly versatile. Hooked already? So are we! Keep in touch with our Instagram to see when the 2021 E-Class All-Terrain hits our showroom in the Kings Park vicinity, or keep in contact with our Sales Department for more information regarding the wagon that’s on everybody’s minds.

The battle between BMW and Mercedes-Benz has been one for the ages. When shopping for luxury SUV’s you have very likely shopped for both the BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class, both have been around since the birth of the luxury SUV segment about two decades ago. MotorTrend shares with us a comparison of the two in their article 2020 BMW X5 xDrive40i vs. Mercedes-Benz GLE450: Luxury SUV Rivalry Continues. The Match Up Mercedes-Benz has been among the first to produce a luxury SUV when they introduced the M-Class (now GLE-Class) for the first time in 1998.

Now looking at the BMW X5 that has been around for nearly just as long as the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class. Today this X5 is available in a wide range of options including high-performance, gas and plug-in hybrid. The 2019 BMW X5 XDrive40i The X5’s 335-hp 3.0-liter turbo I-66 has nearly zero lag and a smooth eight-speed automatic that shifts quickly.

These touch-control buttons can be activated with digital signals.The new steering wheel has been designed in three different configurations; Sport, Luxury, and Supersport. The Supersport steering wheel (pictured above) is designed with a flat bottom and a three-spoke design. The Luxury steering wheel (pictured below) is designed with three spokes that Mercedes Benz says are meant to be shaped like the calla lily.Driver-assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and park assist have been updated for the 2021 E-Class as well.

The best ways to prevent COVID-19 is to stay home and practice social distancing. However, many of us here on Long Island still need to leave our homes. Whether it be for work or a trip to the supermarket, there are a few things we can do to help prevent the spread of germs and diseases like the coronavirus.Professionals say washing our hands frequently and avoiding touching our faces can help lower the spread of COVID-19. However, be sure to also clean the things you touch frequently. Here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown, we compiled a list of helpful tips when it comes to sanitizing your vehicle. Utilize Soap and Water When it comes to fighting germs, using soap and water is highly recommended when cleaning your vehicle’s interior. Autoblog shares with us that the trick is to avoid any cleaners that are labeled as being free of detergents. For those with leather interiors, makeup removal wipes are a great alternative. Now that may sound a bit odd but, skin care products usually contain moisturizers which is great for organic trim materials. Be aware of which cleaning products you will be using to clean the inside of your vehicle. Staying clean and getting rid of germs is extremely important right now, however you do not want to ruin the interior of your car! Feel free to contact us or schedule an appointment at our Mercedes-Benz Service Center. We offer exterior and interior detailing services. Scrub Your Interior Use disinfectant wipes or soapy water to thoroughly scrub the hard surfaces inside of your vehicle. Areas around the driver’s seat and passenger seat like the windows and center console should be cleaned extremely well. These areas are more likely to be hit with droplets when a person is to sneeze or cough. Don’t Forget About High-Touch Surfaces Areas like door handles, audio controls, seatbelts, mirrors, climate controls, steering wheels, etc. should be cleaned extremely well since these areas are frequently touched. Don’t forget to clean your MBUX touch-screen infotainment system if you have one in your Mercedes-Benz! Soft Surfaces The CDC recommends using a cleaner that is appropriate for whatever material is being cleaned. For example, if you are cleaning leather, you would want to use a Leather Cleaner or Vinyl Cleaner. For vehicle carpets and upholstery, it would be wise to use carpet or upholstery cleaner. Contact our Parts Center if you need help finding the cleaning product that is right for your vehicle. Use Rubber Gloves When cleaning your vehicle, we recommend using disposable gloves as they help prevent the spread of viruses such as COVID-19. After cleaning, be sure to dispose of your gloves and wash your hands thoroughly. Stay safe and healthy. We are still available to help you with all your vehicle needs! Being an essential business, our Service Department remains open and is offering vehicle pickup and delivery services along with full vehicle sanitization. Our Sales Department is working remotely and is still available to assist you! Contact us or schedule a service online. Our team here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is looking forward to assisting you.

Your safety depends a whole lot on the condition of your tires. Your tires give you the ability to grip the road, make safe turns, and stop in a safe amount of time. Now that Spring is finally here, you may be asking yourself "when is the best time to make the switch from Winter Tires to Summer Tires?" Winter Tires Winter tires perform best in temperatures below 45 degrees in areas with cold, snowy and icy weather conditions. In order to maintain grip on slippery roads, winter tires are designed to stay soft in colder temperatures. Using Winter Tires in warm and dry weather conditions will wear the tread. It is important to change from winter tires to summer tires during the summer time to maintain the condition of your Winter Tires for future use. Summer Tires/ All-Season Tires With April just around the corner, we should expect temperatures to begin to rise here on Long Island. All-season and Summer Tires perform best when temperatures are above 45 degrees and should only be used in warm, dry and mildly wet weather conditions. These tires are designed to give drivers a more comfortable ride in the summer time. Visit Our Service Center With a Tire Center located in our dealership, we can help you find the best tires for your Mercedes-Benz vehicle. Stocked with all major brands including Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Pirelli and much more, our highly trained technicians will assist you in finding what you are looking for. Our Service Center here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown offers many services when it comes to your vehicles tires. Whether your vehicle needs a Tire Inspection, Wheel Alignment, Tire Rotation, Tire Inflation Check & Correction, or you simply just need new tires, we are here to help! Schedule a service online or stop by our Express Service. Tire & Wheel Program Getting new tires may be expensive, however the Tire & Wheel Warranty Program will help protect you and your wallet in the future. The Tire and Wheel Program will pay to repair or replace your tires and wheels if your vehicle’s tires are damaged by a road hazard such as a pothole, nail, tree limb, or other debris.

Newsday shares with us Auto review: Mercedes-Benz introduces another affordable SUV for 2020 by Larry Printz. Mercedes-Benz has expanded their portfolio of lower-priced front-wheel-drive vehicles which include the GLA, CLA, A-Class and the New 2020 GLB 250 4Matic which makes some question whether or not the Mercedes-Benz brand is losing their luxury vehicle status. However, when you take a closer look at the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLB 250 4Matic as an example, one will realize luxury comes as standard no matter the model and all its optional additional features. The front-wheel-drive GLB 250 starts at $36,000. Upgrade the GLB 250 with additional features like AMG sport steering wheel, leather seats, heated and ventilated seats, wireless charging mat, and much more and the GLB comes to around $57,475.The GLB 250 can be an affordable vehicle if one turns down all the extra additional features. However, Larry Printz was unsure what to expect from the GLB 250 without all these extra features. He wondered if the model would still be a luxury vehicle without the $17,880 worth of luxurious and high-tech additions. “Climbing inside the cabin, front seat occupants are greeted by the same long twin screen display seen in tonier siblings. It's dazzling and helps offset the sea of hard plastic surfaces that diminish the interior's opulent touches, one of which is the new version of the Mercedes-Benz User Experience infotainment software. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, and it's far more intuitive to use than the old version.”“The GLB 250 comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 221 horsepower and paired with a newly developed eight-speed dual clutch transmission to the front wheels, or all four if your order the optional 4Matic option. The new GLB makes the most of its available power thanks to the new eight-speed dual clutch transmission, which always seems to be in the proper gear, although paddle shifters on the steering wheel are there if you want to quickly shift. The all-wheel drive works invisibly, with no interaction needed from the driver.” “One drive and you'll understand that the GLB 250 is no pretend Mercedes-Benz.” All in all, Mercedes-Benz provides drivers with a luxurious experience no matter the model and the choice of additional features. Stop by Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown and explore our large inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles. Test-drive vehicles like the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 or the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250.
