GLA service tips
Know before you go
A basic GLA service should cost ₹18,000–₹28,000. 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 GLA is spec'd for 5W-30 MB 229.51 / 229.52. 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.
