Best place to get Merc parts?

[Adam01]

Hi guys, I’m wondering if there are any specific sites for parts that have a good range and are reasonably priced? UK based preferably but European isn’t the end of the world if they are reliable.

MB Grangemouth parts dept deliver for £5 and give a forum discount .
MB Newcastle have an eBay page.
Autodoc from Germany do a whole range at good prices , takes 8 days to deliver ?
Eurocarparts ?
what are you after part wise ?

Hi mate, thanks for the reply. I’ve heard bad things about Auto doc? I’m looking for front brake discs for my SLK. Euro car parts only seem to do rears.

Try brakes international.

For discs I buy OE, especially for something with reasonably sized discs. Had my fingers burnt using after market discs in the past .... 'warping' within 3/4000 miles .... supplier (as mentioned above ) were not interested. Buy cheap ... buy twice.

Cue posts of ... I bought blah blah blah & they were OK

I've bought several sets of brakes from Autodoc over past 24 months for various cars and in some cases needed a specific size for model variant etc. Always had a first class service from them personally and parts arriving within around 7 days. I also like the product details they list which helps ensure you get the right part as well as the various brands to choose from.

Wighty lists all the usual places.

I’ve had no probs with Autodoc either , my only slight question with them at the moment would be are there import duty issues at the moment ??

I was refused bicycle parts from EU suppliers over £150 due to the Brexit b*llocks.

Awesome thanks guys. I’ll have a look at Brakes international and maybe I will give auto doc a chance.

Recently bought parts from MB Newcastle and Grangemouth, can recommend them both

Just bought Bremtech discs from Brakes International. Seemed better than the slightly cheaper Quinton Hazell ones, apparently they dropped in quality since they got taken over? Thanks for all the help guys.

Bremtech, never heard of them, was your choice driven by price or quality.
Glad you are sorted.

ummm tried to balance both out to be fair. Did some research and apparently they aren't bad and the price is affordable considering you have to get the pair. Thanks mate.

MB Edinburgh also fairly cheaper then other dealers I've noticed.

 

[malcolm E53 AMG]

I’d ring round the two MB dealers quoted above, if they have them on the shelf you will get a discount

 

[DREAMER NO2]

MB Newcastle they also have an Ebay shop .

 

[LostKiwi]

As noted earlier I get my brakes from NB Grangemouth and mention the forum - delivery and price is good and you know they will fit.

Bremtech are brakes int own brand, brakes int have been around over 30 years . Before fitting the fronts make sure to polish the hub face before fitting discs.

Like others have said I can recommend the service provided by Neil Young at MB Grangemouth.
