Servicing 2010 e220

[ChrisB1]

Hi i recently brought a 2010 e220 cdi, already had to change tires an needs cv boot gate an brake disks replaced, also need a b service, is there any advantage to using the local mercedes dealership for repairs an service over an independant garage? They quoted quite a lot but unsure how much i can trust other places to do a decent job so happy to pay if its worth it. Are there any recomended independants in Brighton / Worthing area?

Hi and welcome.


a. You have a very good independent not a million miles away from you - PCS Horndean:

Mercedes Benz & Smart Specialists | Prestige Car Service | Horndean, Hampshire

And this is what I would recommend.

PCS are forum sponsors, and the business owner Olly is a regular contributor on this forum.


b. If you prefer dealer service, then I recommend Mercedes Benz Brooklands:

Contact Us in Weybridge | Mercedes-Benz Retail Group

The advantages of a dealer service is that it includes road-side assistance (called Mobilo) for one year from when the service was carried-out, and also it preserves the car's anti-rust warranty.

If you do decide to opt for dealer service, then taking out a Service Care Plan will reduce the overall cost, but it requires a commitment for a minimum of 2 services:

Mercedes-Benz Service Care Plan | London | Mercedes-Benz Retail Group


Hope this helps.
