So,
After months of talking to Amio and Acid at MSL i finally got booked in with my mate to have the car lowered and a dyno tweak, my mate was having a remap, dpf removal and egr bypass. (W211 E320 CDi)
So begin the story..
Wednesday before we are due to head to MSL on the Saturday we order service parts from Merc/Euro to get the cars up to scratch ready for the dyno, he orders box oil, engine oil, all the filters and new MAF's, I keep things simple and just go for engine oil and diff oil (filter too) as i only did the box 2000 miles ago and the plugs were done about 5k ago, I went with some 0W -40 Mobil one, and the OE Castrol Syntrax 75-140.
Everything ordered collection Friday, then a late night down my unit servicing both cars and checking over everything….
Thursday I gets a photo from my mate and it shows a blown turbo and loads of smoke, so long story short he has to buy a new turbo and the car is not going to be sorted for Saturday so unfortunately we have to cancel his slot and I go ahead and collect my car from Paintkillers on the Friday at about 6pm then drive home to do mine ready for a 6am start and a 3hr drive to Birmingham.
I get sorted and in bed for about 11pm everything goes well, the Mobil one oil feels lovely in the car, Hot start tapping noise has completely vanished now which is good.
So begin the journey, pretty boring… gets there for just after half 9 due to a rubbish diversion half way around B'ham.
I pull up at MSL and walk into reception, I am Greeted by Gina (im pretty sure that was her name) lovely person explains everything to me and then I meet Amio in person.
All I can say about this guy is he's genuinely brilliant, we (me and the missus) immediately get a tour of the building and an explanation of what is what and who is who etc.
After a good walk round and listening to some C63's get dyno'd I wander outside to see a Tomi Mak edition Evo…
a few of the workers at MSL come over to look at my wrap including the owner of the EVO, Acid's brother… This guy is an absolute legend, he ends up taking us out in the EVO – 660BHP and over 500 Ib/ft on a 2.0 block, no stroker!!! Amazing honestly never felt anything like it!
He then takes us into the spares area of MSL and shows us some crazy projects that he has on the go, one of them being a 190E with a 1J in it, a load of lovely old retro mercs and another nice EVO.
We then head back into MSL after a fantastic chat and have a little chill in the pool table room (A POOL TABLE ROOM!!!) I then get shouted over by the guy working on my car, I didn’t get his name but he showed me what he was doing and why, also pointed out my rather bald rear tyres and my unevenly worn fronts.
We discuss tracking and Amio comes to help me sort some tyres, he rings a few places and long story short I spend a good chunk of the afternoon looking for tyres, I end up finding some Dunlop Sport Max's which was the only ones around, so I take them and I head back to the dyno.
Unfortunately due to the time we don’t get chance to run any tweaks which is a total shame but Amio being the fantastic guy that he is offered to sort it out next time I'm there free of charge as I'd already paid for the dyno time.
I then leave to head over to Stoneleigh ready for the Gravity show on the Sunday.
So my overall opinion of this place is literally an amazing place, the guys are all down to earth and really genuine! The technician who worked on my car took the car for a proper road test to make sure the suspension was fine, I watched him swaying left and right checking for noises and lock to lock etc, really good service, all proper tools used and not one oily hand print on any of the car.
Cannot fault the quality of the work.
As for the customer service, I have NEVER EVER been treated so well, I literally felt like part of the family, I was welcomed by both Amio and Sarim as well as the entire team at MSL.
I saw some crazy things from a open cheque book on a G-Wagon to a lambo to a Cadillac to a bunch of C63's getting remapped to then getting out in a crazy EVO.
My day there could not have been better and I WILL be returning 100% in the future as I wouldn’t go anywhere else, as a first time visitor the way I was looked after couldn’t have been any better, I honestly could have stayed all weekend!
Utmost respect for these guys!
And that concludes my little story!
