Hi,

I need to get an A service done on my SL, can anyone recommend ANY dealer that does and A+ job that is within a days drive of Guildford?

I have heard good things about Hughes of Beaconsfield, but was wondering whether anyone has used Mercedes in Epson, or Mercedes in Woking?

Comments anyone?

thanks

Hughes of Beaconsfield are rubbish they do a service and dont even clean the car after. u see greasey finger prints on your sterring wheel and bodywork
 
Tony Purslow in Basingstoke.

I rave about them non-stop, and they have been voted top MB dealer for the past 2 years (or somesuch award).

And in addition it seems a lot of people come a long way to get their cars done by them.

Alledgedly.
 
Kinky...

thanks I gave them a call today, they seemed pretty good. As it happens they recommended I wait until the A service indicator is on and not to bother with an interim A service (although we are planning a long journey next week).

I will check all the levels and the tyre pressures etc myself, but thought an interim oil change/check etc might be useful.

Thanks - I will need to use them when I return though, will need the service then.

Wow.

Is that a first? A customer wanting to spend money and they turn you away coz it's really not necessary?

I'd call that honesty.

Good on them. In past past (non-MB dealership) experience I do not honestly think a dealer would have turned me away - money for old rope and all that!

Jolly good show Purslows.
 
Yup, and just to add further to this, I am trying to "extract" a lighting kit from my local dealer in Walton. I have called twice, they promised to return the call - nothing. Now I am chasing them again. It is a bit of a hike to Basingstoke for me just to pick this up, but if necessary that is what I will do...

I don't know how some of these guys stay in business.

MB have no shame. You can be a customer with a SL55 and they still mess you about?

What do you need to do, threaten to buy their franchise and sack them all?

an interesting thought. Just think if our members owned the franchise there would be no need to look at other cars ?
 
I have used these people over the years 01483 286000 - East Horsley so not too far from Guildford. MB/BMW specialist - not a main stealership. Ask for Dave the Service Manager

I can confirm I am impressed with Tony Purslow in Basingstoke. They really went out of their way to a) assign a very experienced mechanic to me and b) again delivered on the time committments.

I took my car in for the 2nd time to have the roof rattle attended to, they have made some progress but its not cured yet.

What about Tony Purslow`s at GUILDFORD.
