Sprinter Shops/Mechanics Nearby???

Good morning all,

We just recently purchased a used 2017 Four Winds 24FS. It currently has an open Recall for the Air Bags, this I know I need to take to a Mercedes Dealer that works on Sprinters.

However for normal Schedule A and Schedule B and various items does anyone know of any Sprinter Mechanics around (or reasonable driving) to Dubuque IA / Galena IL area?

Thank you in advance....
  • This may be something to think about when owning one of these vans. I have read owners and their touting excellent mileage but for me, and being a mechanic myself, having service and parts while on the road is most important. My guess is contact local MB dealer for advice.
  • Yes give them a call. 1.5 hrs is just a day trip

    Freighliner truck service centers also have the needed software for Sprinters. Having the software setup is the key. MB restricts others from acquiring it. Our MB car dealership does not touch MB Sprinters .
    Some states are very restricted for service. Make sure you have road service willing to tow you a distance without mileage restrictions. Just in case.

    Did you try to search at Mbvans.com


    Yes, the closet is in Davenport about and 1 1/2 away, that’s why I was hoping to find some independent places for Sprinter. Can these be taken to most and Diesel shop? There is a place in Dubuque called Truck Country, maybe I’ll call them and se if the service them. Thanks.
