A small oil leak, but a BIG job! 🔧😎

This Mercedes-Benz GLA 220 CDI 4MATIC came into JCA Automotive with a leaking rear main oil seal.

To access the seal, our team needs to remove the entire subframe, engine and gearbox before separating the gearbox from the engine.

⏱️ That's approximately 12–14 hours of labour to replace one seal!

Just another day tackling complex Mercedes-Benz repairs at JCA Automotive! 💪

⚠️ Losing power steering? Don't ignore it!⚠️

This vehicle was towed into JCA Automotive with a power steering issue, and our suspicions were confirmed — a faulty V-belt! 🔧

The problem? The V-belt also drives the water pump, meaning no coolant circulation and a serious risk of overheating.

Due to the engine's mid-mounted design and restricted access, the motor needs to be lowered to carry out the repair.

The upside? It gives our team the opportunity to inspect other components and tackle preventative maintenance while we're at it. 💪

Sometimes a seemingly small problem requires a BIG job!

When Google Maps says "turn left" but the pavement says "NOT TODAY!" 😂🚗💥

This client took a little shortcut over the pavement… unfortunately, the gearbox and sump didn't enjoy the adventure! 🔧😅

A reminder that not every vehicle is built for off-roading, especially over pavements!

At JCA Automotive, we've seen it all… or so we thought! 🤣

Don't let the understated looks fool you! 👀🔥

We recently had this 2017 Volvo S60 Polestar in for a brake service. One of only 45 examples in South Africa, this rare sleeper packs an impressive 270 kW and 470 Nm from its 2.0L supercharged and turbocharged engine.

Serious performance deserves serious stopping power! 🔧💪
