Choose the work you need
A brake warning needs a proper assessment. A pump, its power supply and the wider braking system can produce different faults. Our first job is to establish what needs attention before recommending a replacement.
Prices and inclusions
These estimates separate the initial assessment from complete replacement options. The installed-unit ranges include diagnosis for that job; do not add the diagnostic-only price again.
| Service | Included work | Estimated total |
|---|---|---|
| SBC diagnostic assessment | Initial electronic diagnosis, relevant supply and hydraulic checks, and an explanation of the findings. Extended intermittent-fault investigation is quoted separately. | AED 300–500 |
| Reconditioned unit, installed | A suitable reconditioned assembly, diagnosis, removal and installation, required brake fluid and bleeding, applicable commissioning and final checks. | AED 3,000–4,800 |
| New unit, installed | A compatible new assembly with diagnosis, installation, required fluid and bleeding, applicable commissioning and final checks. | AED 4,500–7,500 |
| SBC bleeding procedure | An agreed diagnostic-assisted bleeding operation with the required fluid allowance and checks. Pump replacement and repairing leaks are separate. | AED 250–450 |
These are planning estimates, not fixed offers. Vehicle specification, unit availability and the condition of connected components affect the final total. Component repair is priced after assessment; recovery and unrelated brake repairs are separate.
Call or WhatsApp with your model and the service you need. We will confirm the proposed work and appointment options.
Diagnosis before parts
A useful diagnosis connects the warning to a specific fault. We check the system as fitted to your Mercedes, then explain whether the work concerns the pump assembly, its electrical supply or another brake component.
Mercedes-compatible diagnostic equipment helps us read stored faults and inspect relevant operating data. The warning history and current symptoms guide the checks. We use the fault description alongside the live readings and inspection to decide which component needs attention. Tell us if the warning is intermittent or began after other work.
The assessment may include the unit’s electrical supply, connectors, visible leaks and pressure-related behavior. A problem outside the pump can change how the system operates. Finding that distinction matters to the price: repairing a connection and replacing the complete hydraulic assembly are very different jobs.
We explain the confirmed findings, any further investigation needed and the suitable repair options. If the symptoms cannot be reproduced during the initial assessment, we discuss the next diagnostic step rather than claim the fault has disappeared. The repair quotation then follows the work identified, with the component and labor described.
Repair or replacement
The lower-cost option is useful only when it addresses the actual fault. We help you compare the work, supplied part condition and final checks for your vehicle.
A repair may make sense when the fault is localized and the remaining assembly is suitable for continued use. The quotation identifies the component being repaired and the checks afterward. It does not describe an entire unit as rebuilt when only one part has received attention.
A reconditioned unit can reduce the parts cost, but its suitability still depends on the correct application and supply condition. We confirm the proposed unit before ordering. Any exchange requirement or refundable core charge is identified in the quotation rather than left to appear unexpectedly at collection.
A new assembly is an option when repair is unsuitable or you prefer a new part. The matching unit and installation work determine the total. The assessment also identifies any wiring damage, leaks or other brake faults that need attention alongside the new unit.
The complete installed job
SBC replacement involves the hydraulic system and its electronic controls. The installation package covers the agreed work needed to return the replacement assembly to service, with additional damaged parts identified separately.
The unit reference and vehicle specification matter more than appearance. We identify the compatible assembly before fitting it, including any applicable replacement reference. A used part that looks similar is not automatically suitable. If a VIN or existing part number is needed, we request it while preparing the job.
The work includes the required workshop procedure for the pressurized brake system, removal and fitting of the agreed assembly, and attention to disturbed connections. Brake-system work belongs in the workshop; do not loosen hydraulic lines or attempt a reset procedure to investigate a warning at home.
After installation, the job includes the appropriate bleeding and applicable diagnostic setup or commissioning. We check for leaks and reassess the relevant faults and operation. The quotation identifies the setup needed for your vehicle and supplied unit, so the installed price covers the agreed procedure.
Vehicle suitability
Contact us for the SBC system fitted to your E-Class, CLS or SL. We confirm the actual brake equipment before pricing a unit; the model badge alone does not establish which assembly is installed.
Owners often contact us about W211 E-Class and early CLS brake warnings. Production specification and previous repairs matter, so we check the fitted system instead of applying one parts list to every car with the same badge. The initial enquiry can simply describe your model and warning.
An SL enquiry also needs the correct vehicle and unit identification. Access, compatible parts and any additional findings affect the job. If your Mercedes uses a different system, we can assess the relevant ABS pump fault and quote for that work instead.
If the display tells you to stop, or braking changes: stop safely and arrange recovery. Do not drive to the workshop to test whether the warning clears. Call us to discuss the vehicle’s arrival.

Assumes a suitable unit is available at the estimated parts price. Additional damaged lines or connectors are outside this example.
Timing and handover
We confirm the booking and expected handover after identifying the job and parts availability. Diagnosis, a targeted repair and a complete replacement can need different amounts of workshop time.
Start with a call or WhatsApp message about your Mercedes and the warning. We arrange the assessment, explain the findings and provide the repair estimate. Once you approve the work, the required part and workshop time can be scheduled. You do not need to diagnose the fault before contacting us.
A stocked replacement can move through the workshop sooner than a unit that must be sourced. Intermittent faults or additional hydraulic work can extend the visit. We discuss these practical differences when confirming timing; the confirmed repair and parts supply give us the basis for a dependable collection plan.
Final checks cover the relevant brake-system operation, leaks and diagnostic findings after the agreed work. At collection, we explain what was repaired or replaced and any remaining recommendations. If worn friction parts also need attention, brake repair can be quoted alongside the SBC work without treating it as part of the pump price.

Frequently asked questions
Answers about the assessment, repair choices, cost and arranging your visit.
Initial SBC diagnosis is estimated at AED 300–500 including VAT. An installed reconditioned unit is estimated at AED 3,000–4,800, while an installed new unit is estimated at AED 4,500–7,500. The replacement ranges include the listed diagnosis, labor, fluid, bleeding and applicable commissioning. A targeted component repair is quoted after assessment.
Possibly. A localized fault may permit component repair when the rest of the assembly remains suitable. We assess the unit and explain whether the proposed repair can address the confirmed fault. A damaged hydraulic assembly or other findings may make replacement more appropriate. You receive the applicable options after diagnosis.
Clearing a warning or changing a counter does not repair worn or damaged hardware. Any reset or commissioning procedure must be appropriate to the confirmed fault and work completed. We do not present a reset-only procedure as a replacement for diagnosis, necessary repairs or checking the braking system afterward.
No. A warning can involve another brake component, an electrical supply problem or a different fault. The assessment checks the relevant system and symptoms before identifying a replacement. If the display instructs you to stop or the braking response changes, stop safely and arrange recovery instead of continuing to the workshop.
The published installed-unit estimates include the compatible assembly in the stated condition, diagnosis, removal and fitting, required fluid and bleeding, applicable diagnostic commissioning and final checks. Additional damaged lines, wiring, friction parts or unrelated faults are quoted separately. The diagnostic-only charge is not added again to those example installation totals.
We confirm timing after the assessment and parts check. A suitable unit already available locally can shorten the visit, while sourcing a replacement or investigating an intermittent fault can take longer. Contact us to arrange an assessment and discuss the expected handover for your particular job.
Yes, where a suitable reconditioned assembly is available and appropriate to the job. We identify the unit condition, compatibility and any exchange requirement in the quotation. You can compare it with a new-unit option when available. Parts or workmanship terms are confirmed with the actual supply and repair, not assumed from the word reconditioned.
Call +971 56 464 6081 or WhatsApp us with your Mercedes model and the warning or symptom. We will discuss the appointment at 39, Al Quoz 4, Dubai. A warning photo or model year can help if available; we can request any further identification needed while arranging the assessment.
