    What got you into the Mercedes Benz brand?

    Strange I've always been a BMW man until I decided to sell my 7 series and Maserati and buy just one every day car. I had around £38k to spend on something that was very quick as I had owned Porsche, Ferrari and the Maser in the past, easy to drive, boot space for cases and Golf clubs and...

By far your recommendations were Prestige Car Service down the A3 in Hordean, although they are 80 mins away from where I live I decided to give them a try. It...

    New R231 SL63 owner

    OK final update, car is booked in with PCS for service B, Brake fluid, MOT and exhaust mod. Olly quoted me £450 inc vat for the resonator removal and welding in a new pipe so happy days and unhappy neighbors.

    New R231 SL63 owner

    Hi all, just thought I'd give you an update. Well the SL63 will be going into PCS, why because of all your recommendation and their value for money. I contacted both Indy's John Haynes and PCS with a series of questions and the main factor was hourly rate. JH was £90 +vat with a service B priced...
