Mercedes-Benz stands as a global symbol of luxury, innovation, and performance. However, even these engineering marvels can experience wear and tear—especially in Dubai’s hot and demanding driving environment. Whether you own a C-Class, E-Class, GLE, or S-Class, understanding the most common Mercedes issues and how to address them can save you from costly repairs and downtime.
At MetaMechanics, we specialize in expert Mercedes car repair in Dubai, using cutting-edge diagnostic tools and certified technicians to ensure your vehicle stays in peak condition.
1. Engine Mount Failure
🔧 The Problem:
Mercedes engines are powerful, and to absorb vibrations, they use hydraulic-filled engine mounts. Over time—especially in Dubai’s heat—these mounts may crack or leak fluid, causing:
-
Excessive engine vibration
-
Rattling sounds when idling
-
Cabin shaking during acceleration
🛠How MetaMechanics Fixes It:
We inspect your engine mounts with specialized tools and replace them using OEM or genuine parts. Post-repair, we test for proper alignment and ride comfort.
2. Transmission Troubles
🔧 The Problem:
Some Mercedes-Benz owners report issues with automatic gear shifting, such as:
-
Slipping gears
-
Hard or delayed shifts
-
Transmission warning lights
Most commonly seen in older 7G-Tronic and 9G-Tronic models.
🛠How We Fix It:
MetaMechanics performs a full transmission diagnostic using Mercedes STAR software. Depending on the issue, we perform:
-
Transmission fluid change
-
Valve body repair
-
Solenoid replacement
-
Software update or full rebuild if necessary

-
Dashboard warning lights

Non-functional mirrors, windows, or seats

-
Radiator leaks
-
Thermostat failure
-
Coolant pump breakdown
-
Faulty fans or temp sensors
🛠How MetaMechanics Fixes It:
