Hello all,

I was wondering whether anyone could recommend an independent MB specialist in or north of Oxford (Oxford/Bicester/Banbury/Chipping Norton area)? I've done a few searches, but come up with nothing that recent.

We recently moved from south of Oxford to north of Oxford – I’d previously had our SLK serviced at Star in Reading whom we were pleased with, but I was just wondering whether there was a recommended garage any closer to where I am now? If not, I’ll probably keep going down to Star, despite the 80 mile round trip. :)

Many thanks,

Simon

Thanks guys. Mercland is a bit further than Star is, so I'll probably keep going down to Reading for now.

Might be double the trips if I buy the W124 estate I'm going to see this lunchtime. :D

I wish that my life was exciting :( just post after post, all day long and every day;):D

It is the excitement that you so selflessly dispense that matters, Malcolm.

Do take some crumb of comfort from the joy you give others!

Sadly the car wasn't as great as the ad seemed to suggest. Plus the absence of any service history for the past 4 years/30k and only a stamped-up book for the rest (no supporting paperwork) meant I walked away, so my hunt for a good W124 estate continues. :)
