Holy crap what a cowboy - I made a better job of polishing the entire side of my daughter's Honda when it was driven into in a car park - and I'm a granny with no car repair experience and arthritisI had a look at the other repairs he did too (built up the courage to check them finally) and he’s screwed them too. Botch job alloy repair, and a couple of stone chips on the passenger side air intake he said would “buff out easily”. Sadly it looks like he used a Brillo pad to buff, and you can still see the chips!
Fortunately I won’t have to look at it on my driveway for too much longer. MB of Grimsby are sending me a GLC 63S Coupe tomorrow, and taking mine away for repair of all three areas.

What don’t you like about it, out of interest?Had the GLC 63S Coupe dropped off yesterday. I don’t like it.
Several things:What don’t you like about it, out of interest?
But apart from that massive list - all good yeah?Several things:
- it doesn’t sound like an AMG (no sports exhaust - blows my mind when people don’t spec it)
- the boot is such a stupid shape
- the crabbing at anywhere even remotely near full lock is horrendous
- the interior feels really dated, and is a hotchpotch of a few new bits but mostly previous generation
- the new front grille is way too blingy
- it has 600 miles on it, yet has more rattles than a car with 60000 miles
Anyone who spends £75k on one of them must be mad.

the rattles are part of the premium pack surround sound live instrument option.
as for the crabbing , this is an SUV , so they've engineered that “off road feeling ” even on regular asphalt. it's an amazing feat of engineering.
lastly I bet you find it quite slow compared to the E63s...
kidding aside, why would they not stick a performance exhaust on it. makes the car quite pointless without it ! I also cant understand why , as a new vehicle variant that they didnt update the interior .
I feel glad I went for the C over the GLC especially after your post.
how does it corner and stuff? does it struggle with the ride height and weight ?
lol yes , ahem , interesting that it is so jerky when hard accelerating to "70". Your dealership seems awesome btw , giving you such awesome cars ! They must really value your business. The macan tends to also suffer from the sterile experience problem. Everyone raves about the alfa stelvio as being a lot of fun.It actually corners not too badly at all, which surprised me. When I first saw it I thought it was going to make me feel seasick, but it’s pretty planted and stays relatively flat through the corners.
I find the 9 speed a bit clunkier than in mine. When you’re accelerating hard and going through the gears (up to 70mph, obvs) there’s a distinct jerkiness with each change, which is absent in mine.
You made the right call with the C Class. Mercedes gave me a C63S to play with for 12 weeks while I waited for mine to arrive, and I absolutely loved every minute of it. The GLC feels pretty sterile in comparison, even through it’s essentially the same car underneath.

Hope the car paint comes back looking awesome , the E really is such a stunning vehicle , I'm sure if they put you in most cars that they wouldn't impress you once you've been in the E63s! I saw an E63 estate parked up in central London today, black with a personalised number plate, and incredibly dirty , even the rain couldn't wash the grime off . lovely machines they are.
There's nothing wrong with smart repair on any car of any value, and in many cases the damage is such that smart repair is actually the best option.
The issue here is the tech decided to respray the entire door when there was no need to, and also made a very poor job of it.
If they keep him employed the company will go into administration .
Usually these people operate on a franchise basis.
To be honest it's partly the owners fault for letting a smart repair company anywhere near his car. I wouldn't have done so and mine is only worth £20k not £100k!
No dentist in his right mind likes extracting teeth it means a loss of any future revenue . They would rather have a go at fixing the tooth and charging handsomely for it each time , then finally giving up and extracting it....and charging for the extraction as wellIt's a bit like going to the dentist for a simple filling, and he then decides to pull-out the entire tooth when there's no need for it......
Yeah, silly me. If only I was a know-it-all like you, I’d never have encountered this issue.
