Stumbled across the site late last week, and registered and have read loads, though in return I should make a contribution, although really its a veiled request for more info...
I have an e270cdi avantgarde on order, should be with me mid July apparently, and following the comments on the forums I am now unsure as to the best place to have it serviced... I live about ten minutes drive from Greenoaks Slough, and a similar distance from the MB dealership in Beaconsfield, and i work not far from Basingstoke, so there do seem to be a few options.... I have read some good stuff on the Basingstoke dealer, anyone used the one in Beaconsfield ?
I'm looking forward to getting the car (first Mercedes), its the next stage in my transition to sensible motoring, following a couple of Fiat Coupe's and an Alfa 156 V6 - which I claimed had to be sensible as it had 4 doors... I've used SGT in Taplow for my Alfa servicing, so have got used to actually getting some service following my years driving Fiats ! I was hoping to get comparable or better service with the new car, but not so sure now... as an aside, I have an Audi A6 loan car at the moment, and have had to have it serviced, the dealer was very good (Martins in Basingstoke)...
Cheers
