I have always taken my car to Mercedes Official garages to be serviced to keep my mobolife in tact. I have been advised at my last service certain jobs are required to be done outwith normal service items. Can anyone recommend any independants in the west/central Scotland that can be trusted to...
Really need an indie I can trust to do good honest work for a fair price. I live in the scottish borders (northumberland - mid point between Newcastle and Ediburgh - Hawick to the West). Can anyone suggest someone who can care for my E 320 CDI auto estate :confused:
Got a rubbish 1.4 A class, one of the semi auto ones and the gearbox linkage has gone so the stick moves around but the car is stuck in reverse and I can't even start it because it's in gear, it's been parked since the middle of september but I'm moving soon and need to get it sorted then...
Hi just purchased a 2003 e320 cdi. I am told by the seller that a B service was carried out approx 3000 miles ago(didn't get a service book). Car now reading C service due in 280 miles. Would appreciate any pointers towards a localish Independant Garage for this service and would anyone know...
Need advice had some work done at recomended indie which included auto box filter and oil change.This was done apparently and 7lts and new filter replaced,however garage said the torque convertor cant be drained without dropping gearbox and the old oil was very dirty so they advised in that in...
As the title says what services would you want from an Indie? What in your opinion are the must haves (i.e what would you expect) and what are the nice to haves?
Would you want fixed menu pricing for an A & B service for example?
What would make you swap from a main dealer or your usual...
I've found a decent indie, my parents have used him for 5years on their Saab. He's well experienced with Merc's.
Issue is parts needed have been ordered straight from a dealer, i've had a look online and from Euromerc or similar I can get the same part for hlaf the price!!
Annoying but a...
I would like to have my 1995 E280 Estate inspected.
The usual stuff - "up on the ramps", test drive etc., etc.
I just want to check what may need doing before the next MOT in July
I would be grateful if anyone can recommend an Indie in the Winchester/Southampton/Portsmouth Area
Cheers
Can anyone recommend a good Indie for a colleague who lives in Broxbourne, Herts.? He's suffered the usual MB dealer rip-off experience so I said I'd try and secure him someone who actually cares and knows what they are doing.
It's a 'modern' I'm afraid - '06 CLK covertible
Much obliged
P.S...
Recommendation for Bolton Motor Works in Farnworth.

I have been here twice, excellent prices (compared to 4 other indies) and good communication throughout 01204 793838
in the continuing saga my W163 is back again at the indies in Nottingham
Had a very very long chat with them prior to handing over the keys as had done a few weeks worth of fault diagnosing
Asked if they could do a dynamic diagnosis using the STAR and even offered to attend and drive it...
Having been on the lookout for a good Indie for a while now to service my W124 E220 cabriolet & having been firmly pointed away from Mercs Only of Hanwell..... Suri Motors ( BMW & Mercedes Specialists) of Ealing, West London came up trumps.
I was going to go with Mercstar of Harrow after being...

Yo yo yo! Big up to Ian and his side kick at 124 works in Kirkham near Blackpool!!!!!
I've been driving for 25 years, love to drive, been looking for decent garage around here, so now I've found one.
I went to the garage the other day for a chat, three hours later:p
I left happy and...
Hi Guys,
My first post, I know it sucks but I'm a long time lurker!
Just bought a M reg E300 Diesel, the preglow light was coming on after starting so I knew there was an issue.....
When I went to change the plugs I found that the first glow plug has already been broken off, with a small stud...
