I am looking for a non franchise servicing. I have used Prestige Servicing in the past but they no longer have a registered dealer in my area (Petersfield Hampshire). Prestige were a lot cheaper than the franchise garage (about £100 + ). Anyone know of any good garages?
I get very confused over the servicing i.e. A or B. According to Presitge you got an A one year then a B the next.
Also what does one get for the vast difference in price? When I rang Mercedes the engineer could not tell me!! Apart from "oh we check the brakes", What? for an extra £200 QUID!!
Regards

You can see exactly what is supposed to be done on the servicing by looking in your service booklet.
A service is very basic and little more than an oil change.
B service is wheels off and more checks.

Hello there,

Not too far from you (well, 30-ish miles?), there is Pro-Tech MB specialists, in Kingsclere, near Newbury.

I haven't used them myself so I can not say anything either way as to their service.

I have kept their ad in case I need them in the future.

www.pro-tech.org.uk

I am not affiliated to them in any way. If anyone does have experience of using them, I would be keen to know more.

I've used Camtune in Godalming, Surrey for both my 911 and C43 and E55. Always come with an excellent reputation, Merc and Porsche specialists, and not main-dealer pricing.
