I've had enough of dealershits and am looking for a good indie specialist in or around Mancheater or Greater Manchester?

Local to me seems to be SR Autos and Master tech. Can anybody provider a recommendation? I'm sure both are great - I'm not after an AMG specialist, just for servicing my W213 diesel.

TIA

I think that Matt @High Peak Autos uses SR.

I've given my opinion of Master Tech on a Smart forum :coffee: .... but there's obviously those that like them.

That's concerning (I've just fount the thread). Maybe I'm better sticking with the dealer's then? They want £490 for an ATF change which I thought was steep.

That's what I was thinking but the local Indies are quoting £390 Inc vat for the 9g (some of the highly respected Indies), so it looks like this is the cost. Maybe like everything else, prices have increased!
