Mercedes specialists - graham walker
I own a 1991 W124 260E, and am not impressed with Mercedes' idea of reasonable charging nor good customer service.
Where can I find a non-franchised specialist, where they are enthusiastic and knowledgeable, do a good job and don't treat you like an imbecile?

MUCH lower than main agents

Re: Mercedes specialists - Marc
Become a member of the Mercedes Benz Club for tips and a good garage guide. Tell me where you're located and I will try and see what the club magazine recommends. Your dealer must be one of the bad ones as my main dealer is very reasonable and extremely helpful eg fixing minor faults FOC on the spot and giving away free dashboard bulbs

Re: Mercedes specialists - chris watson
the guy i recommended is very good, i took my citroen bx in for a weld, and he only charged £25, plus when i got back to the garage to pick the car up, he had checked the engine rattle that it had, and steam cleaned the engine for free, thats what i call an excellent garage.
