Selecting and Buying Car Parts for Mercedes-Benz

Made with precision and efficiency in mind, the automotive market offers a wide range of top-quality Mercedes Benz parts, both original and OE-quality, to keep your motor running smoothly. For the best deals, you can compare offers for products from trusted manufacturers and suppliers using the online Mercedes parts catalogue.

Types of car parts for Mercedes-Benz: OEM vs genuine vs aftermarket

OEM parts are produced by a company that supplies parts for Mercedes Benz which are then used in the production of their vehicles and are tailored to specific models. Genuine Mercedes parts are practically the same, the key difference being that they feature the car brand’s logo and packaging rather than the producer’s own branding.

Sometimes you can end up paying more just for the Mercedes brand. If you want to save more money, you can look for alternative aftermarket parts. Some people hesitate due to the risk that the part won’t be compatible or the quality won’t be as good. Nowadays, however, there are a number of trusted brands that offer OE-quality parts that are just as good. You just need to know where to find the right ones.

Advantages and disadvantages

When to replace car parts for Mercedes-Benz

The replacement interval for Mercedes car parts will vary depending on the type of part, the age of the vehicle, and the driving conditions.

Reasons for replacements:

• Wear and tear – as parts age, they become less effective.
• Accident damage – collisions can cause significant damage to the components, such as the suspension.
• Performance issues – if the Mercedes parts have gone bad, you may notice a decrease in performance.
• Routine maintenance – as mentioned above, consumables require frequent maintenance.
• Manufacturer recalls – occasionally, Mercedes-Benz has to recall certain parts due to production defects.
• Tuning – you may decide to upgrade certain parts to enhance the car’s performance or entertainment system, for example, or you may decide that it is time for a new look.

Mercedes maintenance costs will vary depending on what needs to be done and who does it. It’s worth checking what the manufacturer’s warranty covers.

How to choose car parts for a Mercedes-Benz

We have already mentioned the types of Mercedes spare parts that are available, but there are many other factors to consider when purchasing new or used ones, such as the reputation of the manufacturer and parts, the materials used and whether the products are compatible with your vehicle.

• Customer reviews – reading through impartial and independent reviews can give you a clearer picture of the quality of the parts and how well they function. There are a number of online sources, such as review sites and specialised forums.
• Pricing – if the prices are abnormally low, it may indicate that they are low-quality parts. It is always better to compare prices to find the best deal.
• Material quality – certain parts require more durable materials or the materials used can make a difference to performance. Make sure to do a bit of research when selecting Mercedes car parts.
• Brand reputation – it is important to choose trusted brands and retailers to avoid shoddy parts and counterfeit products.
• Compatibility – as mentioned above, there is a risk of choosing parts that don’t fit your vehicle properly, particularly when it comes to the aftermarket. Using vehicle-specific data such as your VIN or the OE part number during your search can help you get more accurate results.

Rules for choosing aftermarket parts when the OEM part is not available

When choosing parts for your Mercedes-Benz, you may not always be able to find or afford the OEM ones. Genuine Mercedes parts will have a list of the OEM part numbers in their descriptions online. However, you’ll often find more cost-effective aftermarket parts that still meet the requirements and specifications of the car manufacturer.

What to look for:

• Dimensions – the dimensions of the new part should match those of the original one, otherwise it may not fit properly.
• Technical features/specifications – for example, if you’re choosing brake pads, do they have an electrical or mechanical wear indicator? Does the headlight come with a built-in electric levelling motor? What type of bulbs does the car need?
• Single item or set – are the parts sold separately or do they come as a set?
• Design/shape – for example, oil and air filters can come in a variety of shapes with different types of filter elements. The shape should be the same as the original part.
• Warranty – it is best not to assume that the warranty is the same as it is for the Mercedes OEM part. Check the product description or manufacturer’s website.

Using the Mercedes-Benz part finder

To make searching for compatible parts more convenient, we have included a user-friendly part finder tool on our website. The vehicle selection function allows you to select the make, model, year and engine size from the dropdown menu. You can then find the part via the online catalogue.

Alternatively, you can complete a Mercedes-Benz part number search by entering the Mercedes OEM part numbers into the search bar. This will bring up results that are comparable to the original part. It may also be possible to submit a compatibility check request, where our experts compare your vehicle data with the part selected.

How much are Mercedes-Benz car parts?
