Our approach to pricing is built on trust. We provide open, itemised quotes and never add unnecessary work to your service. By avoiding capped-price promises and pre-paid plans, we make sure you only pay for what’s required.
Warranty protection
There is no requirement under Australian Consumer Law for your car to be serviced by an authorised dealer, nor can a manufacturer void a standard new car warranty simply because you choose to have your car serviced outside the dealer network.
Flexible payment options
Servicing your Mercedes shouldn’t be delayed by cost concerns. That’s why Cox Auto offers flexible payment options, including instalment plans through AfterPay and MoneyMe, so you can get the work done now and pay in a way that suits your budget.

I wanted an alternative to Merc dealership so tried Cox for a full service, brakes and Spark plug replacement. Prices were great, staff fantastic. Work was quick and our GLA 180 is smoother now than it was when brand new 5 years ago!! They even fixed the eco stop start that Mercedes have never bothered doing. Highly recommend and will be taking our car here from now on.
Thank you guys.

We can be found all around Melbourne
Our location makes us a convenient choice for Mercedes owners across the city’s inner suburbs.
Are Mercedes-Benz vehicles more expensive to maintain?
Mercedes-Benz vehicles are engineered with precision and use advanced European technology, which can sometimes make servicing and repairs more costly than other brands. Genuine and OEM-quality parts, specialised fluids, and the need for trained technicians all contribute to this. At Cox Auto, we understand these requirements and aim to make maintenance as affordable as possible.
Do you service Mercedes-AMG performance models?
Yes, our technicians are experienced in servicing high-performance AMG variants as well as standard Mercedes models. Whether it’s routine maintenance or more complex diagnostics, we use advanced equipment and high-quality parts to maintain the performance and reliability of your AMG.
What are common issues Mercedes owners in Melbourne experience?
Mercedes-Benz vehicles are known for their quality, but some models may encounter issues like suspension wear, transmission faults, or electrical problems. Melbourne’s stop-start traffic can also place extra strain on brakes and cooling systems. At Cox Auto, we’re experienced in identifying and resolving these issues before they become bigger problems.
Can you provide logbook servicing that protects my Mercedes warranty?
Absolutely. Under Australian Consumer Law, you don’t need to visit a dealership to maintain your warranty. Our logbook services are carried out to manufacturer specifications using premium-quality parts, so your Mercedes warranty stays intact while you enjoy the convenience of independent servicing.
Do you work with older or classic Mercedes models?
Yes, our expertise extends well beyond the latest vehicles. We frequently service and repair older Mercedes-Benz models, including high-kilometre daily drivers and classic cars that require extra care. These vehicles often need tailored servicing approaches, such as sourcing harder-to-find parts, adjusting service intervals, and paying closer attention to wear in suspension, electrical systems, or cooling components.
Our team has decades of experience with both modern and heritage Mercedes vehicles, so we understand their unique quirks and requirements. Whether it’s routine maintenance, troubleshooting an age-related issue, or helping preserve a classic model for years to come, we deliver servicing that respects the history and engineering of your Mercedes.
