Does Mercedes keep track of the maintenance on their cars?
I'm looking at a 03 CLK 500 from a Luxury Motors dealer, and when I asked him about the maintenance history, he told me that I can contact a Mercedes dealer to get it. Is that possible, do I need to know which dealers maintained it?

Some how, I don't think this is possible, but any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

if the maintenance was performed at the dealer, any MB authorized dealer will have access to the record. Service A and service B info may be retrieved from the onboard cpu.

 

Just purchased a '98 CLK320, called my MB dealer, gave him the VIN, he ran a VMI (?) and was able to tell me only what his dealership did to this particular car (not much). Ican call the selling dealership and try to get the same from them. Another nifty deal is to find someone with a VIN decoder which will provide you a complete listing of what came with your car, the K packages, etc. My dealer was also able to give me the K packages from the VMI he ran. Hopes this helps a little.

 

Just a quick update: called the selling MB dealer, talked to service, provided them the VIN, they were nice enough to copy and fax 10 pages of the service history from '02 thru '07, just great! If you have the original books in the leather binder, the selling dealer should be shown. Good luck, enjoy you CLK!
