What we do on a Mercedes.

A Mercedes tells you what it wants. The service indicator asks for Service A or Service B with any extra items due, and we read exactly what it is asking for rather than selling you the bigger one by default.

When your Mercedes needs a look.

These are the faults that bring a Mercedes car or van in most often. Each is cheaper dealt with when it first shows.

  • AdBlue countdown

    A message giving the miles left before the engine will not start. Usually the tank heater, pump or a NOx sensor.

  • Ticking from the top

    On a CDI a ticking or chuffing near the injectors is a failed seal, and it gets harder to fix the longer it runs.

  • Rust on a Sprinter

    Bubbling paint on the sills, wheel arches or door bottoms is the start of what fails a Sprinter MOT.

  • Harsh automatic changes

    A thump into gear or a slow change is often old gearbox oil or a wiring fault in the gearbox, not a failed box.

  • Engine management light

    We read the codes from every module before quoting, because a Mercedes has many and the fault is not always in the engine.

  • Rattle on a cold start

    A few seconds of rattle on the 2.1 CDI can be timing chain wear, which wants checking before it gets worse.

Your Mercedes warranty and its service record.

Block exemption rules let an independent garage service a Mercedes-Benz under warranty, provided the schedule is followed and the parts are of matching quality. We work to both. Warranty repairs and recalls are paid for by Mercedes-Benz and go to a dealer.

Mercedes keeps its service history electronically. We add every visit to that record and give you a written copy, so the history is complete for the next owner or the next MOT.

No. Block exemption rules keep a Mercedes warranty intact at an independent garage as long as the schedule is followed and the parts are of matching quality. Warranty repairs and recalls are paid for by Mercedes-Benz and go to a dealer.

Service A is the smaller one: oil, filter, fluid levels and a safety inspection. Service B adds the cabin filter and a longer inspection. Some items, such as brake fluid and spark plugs, fall due on their own intervals. The car tells us which it is asking for, and we do exactly that.

Yes. We service and repair both, including the AdBlue faults that stop a BlueTEC van restarting. We also look for rust in the sills and door bottoms at every visit, because that is what fails a Sprinter MOT.

On a CDI a ticking or chuffing from the top of the engine is often a failed injector seal. Left alone it cakes the injector in carbon and makes it far harder to remove, so it is cheaper dealt with as soon as you hear it.
