I've had a self employed man do my car stuff for years, and he's been excellent. Having been enjoying an SLK for a year now I've needed someone with more advanced technology, so I moved on to a firm in Chichester called Autotechnics. Lovely guys who work on all sorts of, mostly, performance cars.
Anyway, the 'two spanners' symbol has appeared on the odometer today and just shy of 22,000 miles it's time for a "B" service. I got a quote from Autotechnics of £290, then out of curiosity I asked the local MB main agent for their price and they come in at £310.
I thought for the extra twenty quid I would - for the first time in my life, ever - use the main agent.
I guess they're not always as ridiculously priced as we might imagine.
