I'm not usually one to publicly complain about main dealers, but I'd practice caution with MB Leeds.
A few years ago, I owned a 204 C63, when the rocker gaskets went, I was told it was due to over heating and they needed replacing. I agreed to have the work done. 4 weeks later, I found oil on my garage floor, so took it back to MB, they said the same work needed doing again. I took it to a local garage and he said the gasket on one side was incorrectly fitted, MB refused this, so I paid to have the work done at an indie.
Fast forward a few years and I've had my 205 C63S in for a service. They stated it needed new rear tyres and rear rotors & pads. I authorised the tyres and decided to buy my own brake parts from eurocar parts. Once the car went back for the tyres fitting, the service desk were really pushy for me to have the brakes replaced. I told them I had my own parts and not to do the work, I also just had all wheels refurbished and one is now damaged after the tyre fitting, which MB deny was thier fault
I've just come back from my local garage after asking him to fit the brakes for me, he's told me there's 8mm left on the pads and the discs are in great condition.
So a cautionary word, if you deal with MB Leeds, please get a 2nd opinion on any work they say is needed, otherwise they'll have your pants down.
