indie

Hi, Does anyone have experience or know of a good indie in Norfolk? I've not long had my E350 (11 plate) and need to find a good indie for servicing needs etc. Regards

We needed some work doing on the 124 and a chance encounter lead me to Birkdale Motors of Bolnhurst. The owner is ex MB and is happy to take on classic and retro stuff. Good honest work and service at very reasonable prices!

I hate being away from home and having a car problem, here at home I have contacts in most fields, it's just that feeling that you're going to be taken for a ride. :dk: Well! Not in Cheltenham! ;) My C-Class was going into limp, not much fun when towing a caravan! So we ambled from St David's...

Does anyone know of a good indie garage to change to gearbox oil in a c220 cdi? Thanks

Think I have the W211 V6 problem a few people have reported with my 2009 E320 CDi estate. :mad: where the exhaust manifolds break down and get sucked into turbo, causing jerking on flooring and requiring both replacement of manifolds and turbo. Car has done 90k miles and wont be covered by any...

Hi, can anyone suggest or recommend an independent garage in or around Belfast ? South of the city would be preferable and anywhere down towards the border with the south, or Newry. I know of McCreevy Motors in Belfast, but I have e-mailed them a couple of times and never received an answer...

http://vimeo.com/m/99057161 Good video from my local indie SPR in Stockport. Can not rate these guys highly enough.

Hello there, we are going to Cornwall this summer and I was wondering if anyone knows a good indie around Bude just in case I need one . Also we drive down to Southsea/ Portsmouth on a regular basis and therefore it would be nice to find a good indie down there too (-: Any info is greatly...

Hi Just had my '03 E270 serviced at a main dealer as previous 5 years were non-Merc garages and I figured a decent check over was worthwhile. Oveeall the car got a clean bill of health except they raised a flag about the brakes and couple of suspension items. Front discs are nearing eosl...

popped into our garage and our mechanic John has a SL55k in with a failed boot mechanism, he showed me the faulty pump he had managed to remove, the pump alone cost £750 :eek: The car looked wonderful in a tasteful shade of black. He thought that sighting the pump at the lowest part of the...

Guys, Are there any good indies around Loughborough area for my father-in-law??

Tried all sorts to get to the bottom of it but don't seem to get anywhere ... The car is running like a dream but when in idle every so often she's doing a stutter as if she's going to die on me and then she runs again like nothing has happened . The leads are new(ish) 6months old, the coil is...

Hi I am based in Worcester ( willing to travel 40 mile radius ) and need a 'service B" on a 2008 e280 CDI that has just hit 75k. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also does anyone know what I should be paying roughly? It's my first service on this car since purchase in Jan so keen not to...

I recently had a starter problem with my W123.... I couldn't get the thing off the car due to its position/bolts/tools/weather/situation. I had heard of this indie from many sources over many years as being good, but had never used them as I had done all my own repairs and haven't taken the...

Just had 6 glow plugs replaced and their bill came to over £1000.00 less than the robbing mercedes dealer in Wakefield. The difference is clear. The person who takes your keys works on your car & gives you the bill. No need for a cast of 20 people making you coffee and showing you to a seat...

Does anyone know a good Indie or Merc specialist in central Scotland besides John R Weir in Grangemouth? My car is in need of a service now,an E280

Hi, Been getting some advice on an SL55 I'm looking to purchase and it's been suggested I should post here and see if someone can recommend an indie MB dealer to do an inspection for me before I buy. So, the car is in Cheltenham, can anyone help me out? Many thanks!

I have been following the discussion around the service of the automatic transmission,and as the old saying goes,rather be save than sorry,I gave Phil at Staits garage a call.As always he was very helpfull and advised the service should be done at about 40 000 miles if you want to look after the...

Up to now I have serviced all my own cars but age and complex electronics will probably mean that I have to bite the bullet and use a good professional soon. I'm 50 miles north of Aberdeen and would like to know if anyone knows of a good independent specialist within 100 miles or so. Cheers...

Any one know of a good Merc mechanic in the Leicestershire area or a dealers apart from main dealers. cheers.
