"After replacing my Mercedes' suspension three times elsewhere, EuroLine discovered the core issue wasn't shocks—but corroded air lines from Nairobi's acidic rain. Their fix saved me KES 420,000 in 18 months. That's garage services redefined."
— Fatima K., Mercedes GLE Owner
Kenya's unique driving environment creates brutal challenges for European suspensions:
Maha LPS 3000 Dyno: Replicates Kenyan potholes at 60km/h 3D Camera Alignment: Measures wheel angles during impact events Electronic Ride Height Calibration: Detects sagging air springs
"Simulated my daily Westlands-Karen commute to find a cracked subframe other garages missed!" — Robert M., Audi Q7 Owner

Likely blown shock absorbers—Nairobi destroys 72% faster than European roads. We upgrade to BILSTEIN B6 dampers (KES 64,000/set).
Nairobi's acidic rain corrodes air lines. Our stainless steel conversion kit prevents this (KES 38,500).
Yes! We rebuild 80% of Mercedes MAGIC BODY CONTROL shocks for 40% of dealer costs.
Bushings: 3 hours. Air springs: 1 day. Steering racks: 2 days. We provide loaners for all major services.
Included in all suspension work + free 3-month check. We use 3D imaging for accuracy.
