Hi all, I'm new here but wanted to share a dreadful service experience. I live in south london and am relatively new to the area. My old trusty ML320 needed a service recently and without any knowledge of Independent MB garages I consulted google. I found Kinghams in Croydon, approved MB...

Hello there! I haven't thought about that before, but I wonder if anyone would spare some time to help me out on a Mercedes oriented trip? I am coming to UK on Wednesday - March 23rd. I should be at the Luton Airport at 7:30 am. I am coming to pick up an E320 from S. Croydon. Would...
