PAPERLESS MERCS

Owners of Mercedes Benz will be moving with the times – their cars won't come with a paper service book.

Instead they are to be issued with the Digital Service Booklet (DSB) which is being progressively introduced across the model range.

The firm says it will bring convenience and efficiency with the vehicle service data being electronically recorded by the retailer so that over time a full digital history is created as each subsequent service is performed.

Customers will be provided with a service folder that replaces the standard service book and which is able to accommodate DSB print-outs. Equally an owner will be able to request an official print out of the vehicle’s service history covering when and where it was maintained.
