Care for your 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Mercedes-Benz's recommendations.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Drivetrain Repairs

We can take care of most 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your SLS AMG might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.
