dealers

Does anyone else have poor experience of incompetent main dealers? I cannot be alone in this and am apalled at what I have experienced recently. My wife has a 2001 CLK320 cab that I bought from Denmark (saving around £8K!). For some time it had been ripping off the window seal that is...

The car is due for an A service very soon so thought I'd phone around for quotes from a dealer to see how they compared to an independent. After being put on hold for 10mins, I was put through to a customer service bod who didn't know a thing about servicing and he would get someone to call...

On behalf of a bod from somewhere else... My old man's driving over to France and the exhaust has gone on his Merc. None of the UK dealers have the parts in stock and he's thinking of trying one in Calais / Northern France. I've searched on the internet but cannot find anything - anyone have...

Hello all! Im planning to get my car serviced in the next few weeks possibly, and i just wanted a few points of view of other merc owners, to see what the general thought is on getting your car serviced. MB dealers, or an independant specialist? I have a w202 c280 97', 86,000 miles...

Now that Mercedes seem to own all the dealerships they all seem to charge the same amount for servicing - and that's a very large amount. A "B" service on an SLK (and most other models except the A-class) is now £535!!! This is an absolutely ludicrous amount for what's on the service schedule. I...

OK Mercedes dealers are strange (Rust Claim) Just poped the car into the dealer to get him to look at 3 small (1mm) rust spots and they have said that they are looking to replace the two front doors, the bonnet and the boot under warranty because they can see "rust spiders" starting under the...

I've just come away from my local dealers parts department with a very frayed temper. On Sunday I bought some wonderful wheels from Heckflosse, but they came without studs which I didn't see as a problem. Because I work shifts I rang the parts dept from work. The conversation went something...

Want a decent MB accessory place in the UK to source a Wooden gearshift for my 190. Any ideas?

Hi, After viewing and testing a number of cars I decided to replace my Volvo S80 with a E270 CDI and in January I placed an order with the local dealer for delivery in early September 2003 and at the same time I gave them a deposit. The only thing I have received from the dealer to date to say...
