At Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield our factory-trained technicians use manufacturer-grade diagnostic tools to identify if the flashing is caused by an ignition, fuel, or sensor issue. We prioritize rapid assessment and will recommend the most cost-effective, OEM-backed repair. You can take advantage of seasonal discounts and our service specials to reduce repair costs while protecting long-term vehicle value.
