The check engine light flashing on a 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class is a sign of a severe misfire or another condition that can cause immediate engine damage or catalytic converter failure.

At Park Place Motorcars Arlington our certified Mercedes-Benz technicians prioritize flashing conditions for same‑day diagnostics when possible.

2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class Check Engine Light Codes

We emphasize clear estimates, OEM parts, manufacturer repair procedures, and quick turnaround to reduce downtime. Take advantage of our service specials and service financing to manage costs — and schedule service online to get priority attention from our certified staff.
