as with everything indy servicing is cheaper normally short term not always long term
if you get a good one great if not hmmmmn
i use
MBS in exeter and (pete)
mercare in plymouth (eddie)
for my stuff depending...
normally a bit better than main dealer pricing and if you know the mechs and what cars they are into it helps tbh
especially more so with classic type stuff
but even so indies are worth a call if they are ex main dealer guys
not someone who just thinks i like mercs and i want a garage...
I always use MBS in Exeter, Pete and the guys in there really do know their stuff.
their prices are 1/2 what Merc Exeter charge and the service (personally) I find superior.
(plus Pete owes me a go in his CSL! haha)
