• Our technicians read the stored codes, inspect related systems, and provide a clear repair plan with cost and time estimates.

• Start with simple checks: ensure the gas cap is tight and that you used the recommended premium unleaded fuel.
• If the light persists, a diagnostic scan is the next step to read stored fault codes and narrow the issue.
• At Mercedes-Benz of Sudbury we pair the code read with a visual inspection to identify obvious issues before recommending repairs.
