Hi all..
I hope i am posting this in the write section.
I have a 2016 A Class which is due to be returned sometime later this year. I have a scruff and scratch on the wheel arches from someone hitting the car while it was parked on the main road.
Has anyone had a lease vehicle and carried out repairs. I contacted Mercedes in one city and was put through to the company that carries out their repairs, they sent me a bill for nearly £2,000. i then contacted Mercedes in another city who also use a specific company for all their repairs and he sent me a bill for £500. so major difference and could have been clearly ripped off. in the lease docs its states that repairs must be carried out by Mercedes specialist but the company themselves use 3rd parties.
Is it okay to use a 3rd party to carry out the work. I am of the view as long as the job is of good quality and you cannot realise a repair has been done then its all good. i am therefore thinking of ringing a third party like chips away who probably charge even less to fix the repairs. has anyone had any issues such as these.
also for lease vehicles - can you only service the cars from Mercedes directly or can they be done by a 3rd party.
many thanks
Kamal
