Luxury cars demand precision maintenance, and sometimes, a small issue can snowball into a massive repair bill. This is exactly what happened with a Mercedes E250, where a sharp-eyed owner noticed something unusual - coolant was mixing with the engine oil.
Understanding the potential risks, he decided not to use the car further. This one decision saved him from an engine disaster that many owners fail to recognize until it’s too late.
A Shocking ₹7 Lakh Repair Quote from Mercedes
When the owner approached an authorized Mercedes service center, he was stunned by the estimated repair cost - ₹7 lakhs! The high cost made him hesitant, and he put the repair on hold.
That’s when a trusted word-of-mouth recommendation changed everything.
