I have used Holmeward Service Bay just outside Halifax for 10 years with all my Mercs from my 1970 220 to the 500E I had. The mechanic David Illingworth is ex-merc and very thorough and reasonable rates - worth a call definately on 01422-345267.

good inde dronsfields.

http://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/showthread.php?t=45382 hi haroon, good inde at oldham, worth the journey for you, dronsfields have lots of used spare parts and two excellent ex-mb mechanics. i have had deep rooted problems solved and bought several parts from them. herbiemercman.

merc-care have quoted £110 + VAT just for labour but MB dealers in bradford have quoted me £160 inc VAT for parts and labour........what do you guys think

£160 from MB is good and on a level with good indies

ive booked it in for monday...lets see if they do a good job......how much oil will they use up as i dont want them to rip me off. The service manager said its an hour and half labour but total price £160 as ive said.

 

[HERBIEMERCMAN]

the hydro. oil is circa £50. filter £12.one and a half hour labour £60. total should be £122 pluss vat. got mine done last year at autobox preston. £85+vat. herbiemercman.

 

[haroonz7]

thats around £100 so £160 inc VAT at MB really isnt too bad.
