North-West Kent Indie - help required please

[verytalldave]

Went out for a little drive today in the sunshine.....nice!
As it happens, I am on the lookout for a local Mercedes Indie to look after my newly aquired W203. I was driving up Rushmore Hill in the village of Knockholt (near Orpington) when I noticed a sign outside an entrance to a farm and some industrial units. There was a couple of signs saying "MOT's and BMW and Mercedes servicing here". Then there was a phone number - 01959 533359.
I had a quick peep through the padlocked gates and it looked OK.
Does ANYONE on this forum have any experience of this garage please. Any feedback would be most gratefully accepted.
Thanks in advance................

I had my car serviced there, they did OK, there was a rattle on the heat exchanger that they welded for £50.

And would you use them again?
Thats the clinchers...............

Send a PM to R2D2 on the other forum. He has a very good man in Kent he uses.

Could you give me a pointer to the Kent Indie as I would be interested as well.

Hi,

I've used Nigel Scrace in Tunbridge Wells (07775 782792) for over seven years; he was recommended to me by the previous owner of my W124.

Hth.

Regards,

Maybe a little far.......but.......

I use Class Cars, Wingham - just outside Canterbury.

Excellent customer service, independent and prices are brilliant.

Hey Stuart - does he do more recent models?

Hi Tall Dave, I just picked up this thread, and I see your original posting was back last year so apologies for that lateness. You and me have spoken about this issue before, I live 2 seconds up the road from you, Ive used the garage up in Rushmore Hill after it was recomended by my sister. Her and her husband run BMW's and they said theyve had excellent service from that garage. I took my 2001 W210 up there for a service, and was less than impressed - If you do a search on my name "matt_eclass" for a message I posted back in July 2006 titled "W210 E class CDI 2001 - New Injectors" you will see what I mean. This year, I tried a guy just down the road from the Waitrose in Green Street Green, the place is called MERCTEC and its behind the Petrol Garage just up from Waitrose as you go towards the roundabout towards the A21. He did a full B service, changed all the pads and changed one of my injectors for about £480. The guy who runs it has 20 years Merc knowledge and seems to know what he's talking about.

Let me know how you got on.
