A movement problem at the steering wheel can involve the column, its adjustment mechanism or another steering component. Tell us what has changed; we will arrange the assessment that fits the symptom.
Prices and inclusions
Use these estimates to plan an inspection or compare repair scopes. Each repair range includes the initial assessment for that job, the stated parts and labor, and relevant final checks. The inspection fee is included in the repair total if you proceed with the quoted work.
| Service | Included work | Estimated total |
|---|---|---|
| Initial column assessment | Electronic checks where relevant, inspection of column movement and adjustment, and an explanation of the findings. Repair parts and extended investigation are separate. | AED 250–400 |
| Shaft or joint work | Assessment, replacement of the identified serviceable shaft or joint component with a compatible new part, fitting and final checks. Complete column replacement is a separate option. | AED 1,000–1,800 |
| Electric tilt or reach repair | Assessment and the agreed adjustment mechanism or motor repair, including the specified new component, fitting and applicable setup. | AED 1,200–2,200 |
| Steering lock repair | Assessment and a suitable repair of the fitted lock, applicable setup and starting checks. A new complete lock assembly is quoted separately. | AED 950–1,600 |
| Complete column replacement | A compatible new column, assessment, removal and installation, applicable setup and checks. The supplied assembly and any separately required electronics are identified in the quote. | AED 2,400–4,000+ |
Planning estimates include 5% VAT. Specification, access and parts availability affect the total; some new columns cost more than this range. Recovery, collision-related work and additional damaged components are quoted separately.
Call or WhatsApp with your model and the service you need. We will confirm the proposed work and appointment options.
Your diagnostic visit
The first assessment gives you a useful repair decision: which part needs attention, what the proposed work includes and whether further investigation is needed. A dashboard message or a noise alone is not enough to select a column.
We inspect the relevant column mountings, shaft connections and adjustment mechanism to locate abnormal movement or a knock. The condition of surrounding components matters too. A noise transferred through the steering wheel may originate outside the column, so we relate the findings to the symptom you reported before recommending parts.
For an electric adjustment or locking complaint, we assess the relevant power supply, controls and diagnostic findings. We check the functions fitted to your Mercedes rather than assuming every model has the same equipment. This helps distinguish a motor or mechanism fault from an electrical problem that needs a different repair.
After the assessment, we explain the findings and proposed scope. An intermittent fault may need additional time to reproduce; that time is discussed before extending the investigation. If broader steering work is needed, our Mercedes steering repair service covers the next assessment and an appropriately scoped quotation.
Repair or replacement
The decision depends on the damaged part, the serviceability of the assembly and the available replacement components. We explain the suitable options with their installed cost, so you can judge the work as a complete job.
A targeted repair is useful when the affected component is available separately and the rest of the assembly is serviceable. The quotation identifies the new joint, motor or mechanism involved. You can see which original parts remain in use and which part is being replaced, with the relevant fitting and checks included.
Replacement may be appropriate when damage involves the main assembly or a separate repair is unsuitable. We match the replacement to the vehicle and its fitted controls. After collision damage, the decision follows the applicable manufacturer repair requirements. Structural parts are assessed for the correct replacement procedure; a general repair price is not a collision-repair quote.
A lock, clock spring, control switch and steering angle sensor perform different jobs. They may sit around the same area without all needing replacement. If a warning calls for steering angle sensor diagnosis, we identify that work separately and include calibration only where the actual procedure requires it.
The replacement scope
The word “column” can describe different supplied assemblies. We identify the actual part, what comes with it and the labor required before ordering. This is especially useful when comparing a complete replacement quotation with a smaller repair.
The model year, vehicle identification and fitted adjustment equipment help establish the correct part. Similar-looking columns can have different mountings or electrical equipment. We request the VIN or relevant part details when needed for a reliable match, while your first enquiry can simply give the model and describe the problem.
The estimate states whether the supplied column includes its adjustment mechanism, motor or other attached components. Serviceable equipment may need transferring where the repair procedure permits. Separately required electronics, trim or damaged connections are listed so the installed price reflects the whole agreed job rather than an incomplete assembly price.
Installation includes the relevant fastening, connection and setup work for the parts disturbed. Steering adjustment, fitted controls and relevant diagnostic findings are checked afterward. Any required initialization or calibration is included in the defined scope. We explain the supplied part condition and the parts or workmanship terms attached to the quotation.
Your Mercedes
We take steering column enquiries for C-Class, E-Class, S-Class and Mercedes SUV models. The fitted equipment and inspection determine the work; a model badge by itself does not identify a repair or establish a failure pattern.

Appointment and handover
Call or WhatsApp to arrange an assessment at our Al Quoz workshop. We confirm the appointment first, then discuss the expected repair time once the fault and parts availability are known. A small adjustment repair and an ordered column assembly can need different schedules.
Describe the movement, noise, adjustment problem or starting symptom. A short description is enough to begin; a photo of a displayed warning can help if you already have one. Mention whether the car can be moved safely and any recent work. We can then plan the assessment and discuss how the vehicle will arrive.
Once the inspection establishes the work, you receive the proposed repair and installed estimate. We confirm the available part and expected completion before starting the approved work. A part that needs sourcing or an intermittent electrical fault can extend the visit, so the collection plan follows the actual repair rather than a universal turnaround promise.
At handover, we explain the repaired or replaced component and the relevant final checks. These include the affected adjustment or locking function, column security and related diagnostic findings as appropriate. Keep the itemized invoice with your service records, including any remaining recommendations or separately quoted work discussed during the visit.

Frequently asked questions
Costs, repair options and what to expect when booking your Mercedes into the workshop.
Initial inspection is estimated at AED 250–400 including VAT. Shaft or joint work is AED 1,000–1,800, electric adjustment repair AED 1,200–2,200, and a complete new column typically AED 2,400–4,000 or more. Repair totals include the initial assessment for that job. We confirm the fitted part and final scope before approval.
Yes, when the affected joint, adjustment motor or mechanism is separately serviceable and a suitable repair is available. We inspect the remaining assembly before recommending that option. Damage to the main column, unsuitable prior repairs or parts availability may make complete replacement the appropriate choice.
A starting problem with a locked wheel needs the relevant battery, key recognition and locking system checked. A lock fault and a mechanical column fault are different repair decisions. We identify the affected component and quote for an authorized repair or compatible replacement, including the required setup.
We assess manual and electric tilt or reach systems as fitted. A switch, electrical supply, motor or mechanism can require different work. Tell us which movement has stopped and whether the problem is intermittent. The inspection establishes whether a targeted repair or assembly replacement is suitable.
That depends on the vehicle and the components disturbed. Some work needs an applicable initialization, coding or steering-related calibration; other mechanical repairs have a different procedure. We identify the setup required for your repair and include it in the agreed scope, together with the relevant final checks.
The expected completion is confirmed after the assessment and parts check. Access, the specific repair, available replacement parts and any intermittent fault affect the visit. Tell us if you need the car back by a particular date so we can discuss practical appointment and handover options before the work starts.
If steering binds, the wheel has significant looseness or you cannot steer normally, stop safely and arrange recovery. For an adjustment-only complaint, contact the workshop with the symptom before travelling so the situation can be assessed. A message or brief description cannot establish that the car is safe to drive.
Call +971 56 464 6081 or WhatsApp MercGarage with your Mercedes model and the problem. The workshop is at 39, Al Quoz 4, Dubai. We can request the year, VIN or existing part details when needed to match components and prepare an itemized repair quotation.
