Howdy!!

As the title suggests really, does anyone know of an Indi in Nottingham who has STAR?

Thanks

MB Mansfield - Independent Mercedes Benz Specialists

If you excuse the lack of information on the website the guy is very good with MBs, I know many satisfied customers so may be worth a shout.

That's interesting, Dr. I've never heard of that outfit. Have you used them yourself?

I'm in Notts too, but I have never found anyone anywhere nearby who gives that warm and fuzzy 'I'd like to give them my business' feeling. I will not deal with MB Nottingham (Inchcape), nor was I happy with MB Nottingham (indie). Yes they did the job OK, but they were barely any cheaper than Inchcape (despite the claims) and it was all very cold and clinical. No intangible 'extra mile' or being made to feel welcome, if you know what I mean?

David,

I use the MB Centre near Colwick, they have all you need.
Had the AMG in twice and very impressed with the quality of work and the lack of cost! A very friendly and professional team.
I'd recommend them with no hesitation.

I refuse to use the Inchape group full stop, they're far and beyond incompetent.

I've not personally used them however a friend of mine, her dad has an R129 SL600, R230 SL600 Biturbo, W220 S65, W221 S500L, W124 E300D and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head.. he uses them and swears by them. They were flyering cars in my gym car park (only German ones interestingly enough!) and I had a flyer under my wiper but wasn't angered by it as it's always good to know they're still around.

Thanks for that.

You may have read on here about my horror story with Inchcape Nottingham. What a wunch of bankers!

So there's MB Centre, Colwick, and BSC in Mansfield (near Barr's drinks by the look of it).

I'll have to try them in turn and see how they fare.

Cheers!

 

[Dr-Nab]

No worries! Haha token bankers they are, a friend went there to look at an E350 CDI Coupe and needless to say found them most unhelpful - trying to persuade him not to buy another B*W but think he's been put off the brand because of them. I haven't read it actually will have a look though I'd expect nothing short of woeful service.

I registered my details with them after I contacted (and subsequently purchased from) the parts department for a broken little trim piece in the back of the S211, not long after I acquired it.

A while later, I received a card from their sales dept, proudly announcing the new E-Class (212) when it first came out. They invited me to attend the special open day to launch the new model.

So down I went, to have a good look around. I could not have been made less welcome. No one came up to me to welcome me in. I stood there for a few minutes, and (more to make a point) I asked if they minded me sitting in one. One of them pointed to the nearest one, and left me to it. Then I tried to engage someone in conversation about it, but it's hard when you're having to do all the work. In vain, I tried the "but YOU invited ME down here" line, to no effect whatsoever.

They managed to get me back out through the door after pushing a couple of brochures in my hand, to which I hardly could have objected because I was just as glad as they were to be out of there.

And, as you know, they succeeded in making it far worse even than that, when I went in for the rusty tailgate.

Utterly clueless!

Hello mate, Don't know if this place is one you have mentioned before but there is a place at Blidworth thats an Indi. Can't say i've ever used it but i know of people who have & recommend it to me. if you want the details you can give me a text i'll send them on to you.

I'd agree about the indie MB Nottingham, last time I was there the labour rate was around £70 an hour. Their ok and the work is fine and I would agree that you don't get the feeling that they are really looking after you.

Their servicing costs were not much cheaper than MB. last time I asked for a quote to get my front discs changed it was 330, got it done at MB derby for £320.

Hi corned, MB Mansfield are no longer, 2 of the lads have set MB services in Blidworth, I have used them twice and left happy, I recommended them to 3 other people who have used them and been impressed, I will be going again soon for front wheel bearings

This may be a little late but I too can recommend MB center Little Tennis Street Colwick. Just had some work done by them on my R107 very realistic pricing and good work. Speak to Nick or Andrew both very helpfull.
