Poor visibility of the road is one of the most common causes of car accidents. Having good quality wipers is crucial to your overall safety when driving. Whether or not you live in an area that experiences a lot of rain or snow, it is important to maintain your wipers throughout the year. Your vehicles wipers will get worn out over time, even if you don’t use them that often. It is recommended to change your windshield wiper blades every six months. Here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown we compiled a small list of helpful tips for your windshield wiper blades. Inspect Them at Home Inspect your wiper blades to see if any pieces of the rubber is chipped or broken. You can do this by lifting each windshield wiper arm off the glass and running your finger along the rubber edge. If your blades seem to be in good condition but aren’t cleaning properly, you can clean them by using windshield washer fluid or glass cleaner with a damp rag. Clean off any debris that is on the rubber and the area of the windshield where the wiper blades sit. Replace Your Wipers Be sure to always replace your wipers blades as a pair. If one blade is worn out, the other blade will soon be worn out too. You do not want to wear one blade out quicker than usual by making it do more work than the other. Buying New Windshield Wiper Blades Remember that all windshields are built differently. When buying new wipers, you should know the year, make, and model of your vehicle. You should also measure your existing blades to make sure you are buying the right size. Here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown, we recommend seeing a professional. With a Parts Center located in our dealership that is stocked with the best quality Mercedes-Benz parts, we will help you find the best fit windshield wiper blades. Whether you need an oil change for your GLS 450 or a tire alignment for your AMG GLC 43, our highly trained team will gladly help. Schedule a service online or contact us today!

Your car’s coolant/antifreeze is the most important fluid underneath the hood of your vehicle. Serious damage can be done to your vehicle if your coolant/antifreeze is running low. What does coolant/antifreeze do? Coolant/antifreeze circulates throughout the engine, maintaining the temperature of the engine to prevent it from overheating. Depending on the model and year of your car, you may experience an automatic engine cut-off if it is running low. However, if your car is not equipped with this feature, you may damage or even destroy certain parts of your vehicle. Warning signs of low or no coolant/antifreeze: Dashboard warning light: When coolant/antifreeze is low, your vehicle may notify you on its dashboard. However, not all cars are equipped with this feature. Rising temperature gauge: A rising temperature gauge may be due to an increase in your engine’s temperature. Automatic engine cut-off: Most modern cars are equipped with an automatic engine cut-off feature. When coolant is low, your engine will start to heat up. The feature will automatically shut off to prevent damaging the engine. Once your engine cools down, you will be able to drive your car again. Poor fuel economy: If you notice your car is burning through gas a lot quicker than usual, this may be due to a lack of coolant/antifreeze. At the right temperature, your car engine will burn fuel efficiently. When the temperature of your engine changes, it does not burn fuel efficiently. Internal heating system not working properly: If your heater is blowing constant hot air or not working at all, a larger problem may reside underneath your vehicle’s hood due to a lack of coolant/antifreeze. Distinct sweet smell: Coolant/antifreeze has a very unique sweet smell. If your vehicle’s coolant/antifreeze leaks, you may notice a sweet smell arise in your vehicle’s cabin. If you are unsure about the status of your vehicle’s coolant/antifreeze, bring your car in for a service at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown!

The snow is finally here which means, if you haven't already yet, now is the time to make sure your vehicle is ready for whatever weather this winter throws at us. You may be asking yourself "does my car need snow tires" or "what's the difference between snow tires and all-season tires." Whatever questions may be running through your head, our staff here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown is here to help. We hope the following information helps answer any questions or concerns you may have. All-Season Tires Most vehicles are equipped with all-season tires. All-season tires are designed to provide good tread life and year-round performance. They are designed to handle an array of conditions like wet roads and light winter driving. Those who live in moderate climates and do not encounter extreme cold, ice, and snow would benefit from using all-season tires during the winter. Winter Tires Heavy snowfall and black ice require tires that are designed with good traction. Fortunately, winter tires are designed with rigid yet flexible tread rubber for better traction, deep tread depths and patterns to avoid snow accumulation, and biting edges for improved grip in icy conditions; ultimately allowing for safer and easier driving in harsh winter conditions. Every driver's needs are different due to the weather and road conditions in the area they live. Winters on Long Island are unpredictable. Over the past years, we've seen both sides. Some years we have been hit with really bad snowstorms and some years we've barely had to break out the shovels and snow blowers. Here at Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown we highly recommend preparing for the worst. It's better to be over-prepared than to not be prepared at all. Servicing and shopping for your vehicle may be a pain, but our highly trained staff is here to make it as easy as possible. Browse through our Online Tire Center to find the exact tires you may be looking for. Whether you're looking for snow tires for your Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 or tires with better traction for your Mercedes-Benz GLE 43, we can assure you that you will receive the best tires for your vehicle. We carry all major brands including Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Michelin and much more! Whether you're in Kings Park, Centereach, or Port Jefferson, stop by Mercedes-Benz of Smithtown and let us help you prepare your vehicle for the winter! Contact us today or schedule an appointment online! Be sure to also take advantage of our parts specials and service specials! If you haven't already yet, take a look at some of our other helpful tips for your vehicle this winter. We look forward to seeing you at our Mercedes-Benz dealership located at 630 Middle Country Road, Saint James, NY!
