Have your Mercedes engine overhauled: overhaul instead of replacement

Engine damage on a Mercedes-Benz truck does not automatically mean replacing the engine. We examine the engine, tell you clearly whether an overhaul is worthwhile and agree the scope with you.

Our documented cases include the complete overhaul of an OM 471, the overhaul of an OM 502 LA, an oil pressure problem on the OM 501 LA, a cylinder head gasket on the Actros and the engine repair on the OM 926 LA. Where replacement is unavoidable, we offer overhauled and tested exchange engines. You will find engines from other manufacturers and further areas of use on our page on truck engine overhaul.

  • Professional overhaul instead of replacing the engine
  • Clean fault diagnosis on a technical basis
  • Honest advice on whether the repair is worthwhile
  • Replacement engines and overhauled units on request

Mercedes engine: overhaul or replacement?

That depends on the use, mileage and condition of the engine. We examine the engine, tell you clearly whether an overhaul is worthwhile and, where appropriate, discuss alternatives such as an overhauled and tested exchange engine.

Do you repair engines of the Actros, Atego and Arocs?

Yes. Our documented cases include engines from the Actros, the Atego and the Arocs. We determine the exact scope after examining the engine.

How does an engine overhaul work?

We remove the engine, dismantle it, analyse the damage, agree the scope with you, overhaul the engine and refit it. The work is carried out in our workshop in Niederlauer.

Will you collect the vehicle?
