Hi

I'm looking at buying a 320 coupe shortly and was wondering if there are any good merc specialists in the Southampton area.

Also I'm wondering how much should I expect to pay for the minor service (6000) and for the main one at 12000.


Cheers

Graham

Hi,
I use Southampton 'stealership' for services (expensive stamps in the book !).

I have now used Bursledon Motors (01489 783178) for repairs twice and they have been excellent, really fast, use genuine Merc parts (power steering pump & indicator stalk replacement) and very helpful.
They only deal with Mercs.

A minor service at Dealership costs approx. £175, main or 'B' service costs approx. £450 for my C220 Diesel.

Hope that helps

Marky

Cheers for this,

Its got a full MB service history and I'm hoping to keep it up. The A service doesn't seem to bad as I was charged this for at a Rover dealership for my coupe.

Whats the main differences between an A and B service - I realise it will also be dependant on milage, is the A service just a oil & filter job?

regards

Graham

Hi,
well I guess from model to model it may be slightly different but...
for my diesel it is oil, fuel filter, oil filter and air filters, top-up this and that, check this and that and ...... put the stamp in the book.

Same sort of stuff for B but on my last one they changes ATF fluid, brake fluid (I think this was because car had just gone over 100k though) and some other stuff including the pollen filter.

The killer though is the labour costs.... double that of the garage I use for repairs ..but if you want the stamp in the book thats what you have to pay.
