Frequently Asked Questions
How long do Mercedes air struts last?
Airmatic struts typically last 80,000-120,000 km depending on driving conditions and climate. We recommend inspection if the car is over 8 years old.
Can air suspension be converted to conventional?
Yes, conversion kits are available, but we recommend genuine Airmatic repairs to maintain ride quality and resale value.
Why is my Mercedes compressor running constantly?
This usually indicates an air leak in the struts, airlines, or valve block. Continuous running will eventually burn out the compressor.
Do you repair ABC suspension?
Yes, we service the hydraulic Active Body Control system including pump, valve block, and strut repairs.
How much does Airmatic strut replacement cost?
Genuine Airmatic struts range from ₹45,000-95,000 per strut depending on your Mercedes model. We offer quality alternatives at lower prices if needed.
Is wheel alignment included?
Yes, we include 4-wheel alignment with control arm and suspension component replacement to ensure proper handling.
Customer Reviews
S-Class was sitting low in the rear. Metre Per Second diagnosed and replaced both rear air struts with genuine parts. Ride is perfect now, just like new. Saved almost 50% compared to dealer.
Suspension warning light and noisy compressor fixed expertly. They rebuilt the compressor instead of replacing it, saving me a lot of money. Honest and skilled team!
Clunking over bumps was annoying. They replaced worn control arms and bushings. Car handles much better now with no noise. Professional service!
