strategically located parts distribu­

able parts service.
More than 200 000 different spare
parts, even for rather old vehicle
models, are available.
MERCEDES-BENZ original spare
parts are subjected to most severe
quality inspections. Each part has
been specifically developed, manu­
factured or selected for and adapted
to MERCEDES-BENZ vehicles,
therefore, MERCEDES-BENZ original
spare parts should be installed.
