The Mercedes-Benz GLE represents the pinnacle of German engineering and luxury. As a premier European auto shop, German Car Service understands these sophisticated vehicles inside and out.

Our ASE-certified technicians have the specialized knowledge to accurately diagnose problems in your GLE. And perform thorough repairs to restore factory-grade performance.

Our shop proudly serves Hayward, Fremont and surrounding areas. We thrive on getting temperamental Mercedes vehicles back on the road and running smoothly again. Below we explore commonly reported GLE problems in detail.

AN INSIDER PERSPECTIVE ON GLE EXHAUST NOISE

Certain 2016 and 2017 GLE models are prone to loud exhaust drone, usually when accelerating gently between 1500-2500 RPM. As Mercedes specialists, we understand the intricacies of these exhaust systems. In affected vehicles, resonance between the catalytic converter and muffler creates unpleasant low-frequency droning. Our solution is to replace the muffler with an updated Mercedes-Benz version that prevents this resonance. We fine-tune the system to factory specs, restoring quiet comfort on the road. No more irritating drone disrupting conversations or music enjoyment.

IN-DEPTH SOLUTIONS FOR KEYLESS SYSTEM GREMLINS

Temperamental key fobs frustrate many GLE owners, especially in newer 2019-2020 models. Intermittent issues like failing to lock/unlock doors or difficulty starting the engine relate to the Comand control module. The radio frequency detecting antenna inside this module can malfunction over time. Causing key recognition problems. Our expert technicians will diagnose flaws in the keyless system down to the component level. Replacing any worn parts in the Comand module and reprogramming keys. Allowing you to control your vehicle's access and ignition conveniently again.

SURGICAL INTERVENTION FOR COLLISION DETECTION FAILURES

Collision prevention assist combines cameras and radar to detect impending impacts. Warning drivers and applying emergency braking automatically. But even advanced systems develop faults. We often find radar sensors go out of alignment or accumulate dirt. Causing missing alerts and limited automated braking. Rather than replacing the entire system at great expense, our Mercedes specialists surgically repair only the non-functional components. Precision troubleshooting and overhaul of sensors restores reliable collision detection. Providing an extra layer of active protection.

ILLUMINATING SOLUTIONS FOR SUBPAR HEADLIGHTS

The base halogen headlights fitted to some GLE trims simply don't illuminate the road sufficiently for safe nighttime driving. Upgrading to brighter bulbs or advanced LED assemblies transforms visibility and safety. We conduct full retrofits with Mercedes-approved components. Tailoring light color, beam pattern and intensity to your needs - whether focused low beams for highway cruising or broad floods for twisting back roads. Expertly calibrated, your upgraded headlights will revolutionize driving after dark.

SOOTY PARTICULATE FILTERS RESTORED AND PROTECTED

Diesel particulate filters (DPF) capture soot from exhaust gases. But these vital emissions controls inevitably load with carbon. Mercedes DPFs should last at least 125,000 miles under normal driving. Shorter lifespans indicate an underlying issue. Replacing a failed filter without diagnosing root causes risks repeat failures. Our team investigates why your GLE’s filter failed prematurely. Adjusting other systems like variable vane turbos and EGR if needed before installing the new filter. Comprehensive solutions avoid repeat failures down the road.

ORTHOPEDIC INTERVENTION FOR UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS

The base non-adjustable front seats fitted to lower GLE trims understandably lack support and customization. As your vehicle ages, cushioning wears down further. Many owners find these seats painful on long journeys. While upgrades are an option, we also repair and enhance the factory seats. Strategically adding padding, adaptors and custom brackets to suit your height, weight and preferences. Relieving pressure points and fatigue for longer stints behind the wheel.

HUNTING DOWN AND SILENCING NOISE GREMLINS

Refined cabins amplify wind rush and road noise. Which frustrated owners struggle to pinpoint. We methodically track down gaps in seals that allow noise intrusion. Testing door openings with specialized scanners. Then sealing culprit areas with automotive putty, foam and updated molding. Transforming a loud, fatiguing cabin into a peaceful sanctuary.
