Good Specialist in Bedfordshire needed!

[Drifter7]

Dad has a 1997 2.3 Kompressor SLK and it seems like the Supercharger belt has snapped (think at about 30mph). I have had a look and it seems like there is oil in the engine bay (no oil leak prior to this happening) and I can't undo the oil filler cap.

Any advice on the problem? I am hoping a new belt will sort it out? Anyone know any good specialists in Bedfordshire (car is located in Dunstable)?

Thanks for your help...

You could try HA Lock in Rushden Northants, although some distance from Dunstable they are Independant Merc who work on nothing else and have been there for as long as I can remember.

You could try Parkham Garage in Wellingborough.

Not far from you on the south side of Luton:

Set up by the former service manager of Pinneys (Harpenden MB main dealer). I haven't used them yet, as I have a good mobile service, but I wouldn't hesitate if I needed to.

Is there a mobile service that covers the Watford area?

Try Paul White on 07973 193575. Watford may be too far for him, but it's worth asking, as he's excellent.

I use and recommend Autoclass in Milton Keynes. Not in Bedfordshire, obviously, but I happily drive 21 miles each way to get my car serviced there.

For future reference:

-Harpenden autos in luton = Apparently no star machine but supposed to be good
-Fensomes in luton = BMW and MB specialist, used myself fairly good.
-Hertfordshire MERX in stevenage = avoid unless you like garages changes random things and charging you for it without your consent. Other than that they seem to know what there doing.
