Why is Mercedes-Benz S-Class maintenance so expensive in Pakistan?

One of the most common complaints among S-Class owners in Pakistan is the high cost of maintenance. Genuine parts are often imported, leading to delays and inflated prices. Additionally, most local workshops lack trained technicians familiar with the complex electronics and systems of luxury German vehicles, pushing owners to rely solely on limited authorized service centers.

The high maintenance cost of the S-Class in Pakistan is mainly due to:

Imported Spare Parts: Most parts are not locally available and need to be imported, which adds customs duties and shipping charges.

Limited Skilled Technicians: The S-Class has advanced electronics and complex systems that many local mechanics are not trained to handle. Owners are often forced to go to authorized dealerships, which charge premium labor rates.

High-Tech Features: The more advanced the vehicle, the more specialized the maintenance. Features like active safety systems, night vision, adaptive cruise control, and infotainment require expert care.

Low Local Demand for Parts: Since the S-Class is not as common as economy cars, local suppliers don’t stock parts, making them harder and more expensive to get quickly.
