Spring Festival checks

With Chinese New Year around the corner, Mercedes-Benz will conduct free Spring Festival checks at more than 300 authorized dealer outlets across China.

The first official free Spring Festival check by Mercedes-Benz joins its summer and winter checks in the seasonal inspection program.

From Jan 17 to Feb 15, Mercedes-Benz will offer a series of benefits including a free inspection covering 15 items important in long-distance winter driving safety.

Genuine car care products from Mercedes-Benz will add an extra benefit to help owners make their cars look brand new both inside and out.

For certain models already outside the warranty period, Mercedes-Benz will provide owners with its roadside assistance service free of charge for three months. Customers who participate in the event will all have a chance to receive other special gifts from Mercedes-Benz.

Mercedes-Benz is ready to launch more new after-sales services later this year to provide customers with even better value for their money.

"The new parts prices and the new free Spring Festival check are our New Year's gifts to our customers, and demonstrate our modern luxury philosophy," said Nandy.

"We are going to make sure that every Mercedes-Benz owner experiences the true value of 'My Service' with the craftsmanship and sincerity that has always been the hallmark of Mercedes-Benz."

Nandy told China Daily that Mercedes is servicing the Chinese customers with exactly the same standard as German customers.

"We are already on a level which is the same like the mature markets," Nandy said.
