there is only ever a couple mentioned on here that i have never used.
oneils in carntyne i think in the east end, not sure how much of a merc specialist he is as i dont think he advertises himself as one, im bishopbriggs so he would be about the closest to me but i probably wont use him.
one in busby which is the south side near Paisley and one in port glasgow and thats about it i think for over a million people, pretty sh#t so looks like i will be spending a fortune at the merc dealership

I've tried Mainly Mercs in Busby (just on the other side of E Kilbride from you). He did an ok job but was only just cheaper than the main dealership (85/hour instead of 110/hour) and I was disappointed by how few jobs he could do without referring me to the main dealer to 'get it done properly'

I intend to try these guys next http://www.mercedescarspecialists.com/ . They are just behind Ibrox stadium. I phoned them about an electrical fault as they were closing for the chrstmas break. Whilst they couldn't open up specially for me, they were really helpful in finding me a good auto-electrician locally. Might be worth a try

And yes - a dealership will likely charge you by the hour for a diagnosis. I have used MB in Giffnock - expensive but they do a good job

The nearest to you is the Carluke MOT centre, advertised as a Mercedes specialist & recommended in the owners club magazine last time I looked.
Have not used them myself, but only a few miles from you.
Other option is TJ O'niel in Carntyne, Glasgow.

cheers lads nice 1 . i know exactly were your talking RF065 right on the corner of the castilhill ind est ?. forgot all about that mob cheers..............

did call my local mb dealer in hamilton today and was told £105 per hr as they were fed up with people being told the problem with their cars for free then going to any other garage to get the prob fixed which is totally understandable as was my intention lol lol...........however wen they diagnos the prob then u choose to go ahead with the repair at they`r price then they will drop the £105 off the bill................

If you use them, let us all know how it went, it's handy to have a list of recommended indy's on the forum.
