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

Questions about Mercedes-Benz engine overhaul
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.
Which Mercedes-Benz engines do you overhaul?
Our case studies show work on the OM 471, OM 502 LA, OM 501 LA and OM 926 LA. Our engine overview also lists the OM 457, OM 460 and OM 906. Tell us the vehicle and engine series and we will clarify whether and how we can help.
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?
With our low-loader and crane body we collect and deliver the vehicle by arrangement. We clarify by phone whether and how this is possible for you.
How long does an engine overhaul take?
