Keeping your Mercedes performing at its best
With over 40 years of experience, Cox Auto specialises in reliable, warranty-safe servicing for all Mercedes models.

Transparent pricing
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.
A smarter alternative to Mercedes dealership servicing
Cox Auto is proud to be one of Melbourne’s most respected independent Mercedes service centres. As a dealership alternative, we combine years of European car expertise with the latest diagnostic equipment to deliver premium care for every model in the Mercedes-Benz line-up.
From routine servicing and inspections to advanced repair work, our South Melbourne mechanics understand the detail and precision required to keep these vehicles performing at their best. Customers choose us not only for our workmanship but also for our clear communication, warranty protection, and cost-effective approach to servicing.
Booking your service is quick and easy, either online or by phone, giving you flexibility and confidence in the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mercedes-Benz vehicles are engineered with precision and use advanced European technology, which can sometimes make servicing and repairs more costly than other brands.

Mercedes-Benz vehicles are known for their quality, but some models may encounter issues like suspension wear, transmission faults, or electrical problems.
