For two years in a row, Fortune magazine has ranked Mercedes as one of
the 100 Best Companies to Work For. This year, the luxury car
manufacturer jumped from number 49 to number 15. For fourteen years in a
row, Fortune magazine has been rating companies based on an annual
survey of employees across corporate America. The Great Place to Work
Institute is a partner with Fortune on this massive project that
includes over three hundred companies. Random employees from the company
are sent a survey that asks them questions about their job
satisfaction, management credibility, and co-worker camaraderie. This
survey makes up two-thirds of the final result, while the remaining
score comes from internal audit data such as hiring practices, pay and
benefits programs, as well as internal communication systems.
Mercedes is the only car manufacturer on Fortunes list and is ranked
8th among small companies that have less than 2,500 employees. This is a
remarkable achievement for the luxury automaker and helps ensure they
stay a step ahead of the competition. This organization has continually
been a frontrunner in terms of advancing technology for performance and
aesthetics. They are obviously also placing a lot of importance on
employee satisfaction in an attempt to minimize turnover and establish a
positive and creative working environment that fosters new ideas and
innovation. By making it a great place to work, Mercedes is ensuring the
longevity of its product and, in turn, ensuring the happiness of its
customers. Buying a luxury automobile that will be serviced by people
who love their job is a good thing.
Ernst Lieb, President and CEO, claims that this achievement makes a
particularly strong impact because it is based on employee survey
results. This is especially rewarding for administration and management
in an economy where many car manufacturers are laying employees off
instead of fostering a positive work environment. The car companys
slogan states that they want the best or nothing and that seems to
apply to their employees as well. This positive environment helps to
ensure the best employee is making the best product for the best
customer.
Mercedes headquarters are located in Montvale, New Jersey. Their
headquarters are responsible for all marketing, distribution, and
customer service for all lines of vehicles within the country. The
luxury car manufacturer is pleased to offer the most diverse line of
automobiles with 12 models rangy from sporty to sedan to supercar.

Oil Change and Other Car Tips
An oil change is very important to the overall health of your car
because the engine is its most vital part. Motor oil that does not
properly clean and lubricate the engine parts will eventually render the
car useless. The engine is also one of the most expensive parts of a
vehicle, and once it has become ineffective, there is no way to avoid an
expensive car repair; and it is not uncommon for engine repairs to cost
more than what the car is worth. While it is obvious that frequent oil
changes are important to the vehicle's longevity, there are some other
maintenance needs that will also keep the car running more efficiently
and help the owner to avoid the cost of other repairs. This is why many
repair shops will offer a money-saving maintenance package, which
includes other maintenance checks. A tire rotation is one of the most
popular maintenance options when taking the vehicle to a shop for an oil
change. Getting a tire rotation is a good way to help avoid the cost of
getting new tires more often than needed. A set of new tires is
typically designed to last for up to 50,000 miles. Unfortunately, many
car owners will need new tires much sooner because they do not get a
tire rotation. Many times the tread on the front tires will wear down
more quickly than the back tires. Rotating the tires allows them to wear
more evenly, which helps to increase their overall longevity. The
purpose of a brake check is two-fold. While the braking system is a very
important safety mechanism, it is also very expensive to repair.
Therefore, a brake check can help to diagnose early problems within the
system, which allows the owner to avoid costly repairs when a minor fix
eventually becomes a big problem.
As a car owner, if you are diligent about frequent checking of your
vehicles fluids, you should also be diligent about your car's other
maintenance needs. Luckily, many repair shops will perform these other
maintenance needs as a courtesy to their customers. Rotating the tires
and checking the brakes are just a few examples of how you can avoid an
expensive car repair bill, and even a dangerous situation.
