I remember reading in the local Community News ( Halesworth area) a few months ago, an advertisement concerning a recently opened Mercedes independent workshop , highlighting the fact that if your Mercedes was in warranty , their service would not invalidate.

Anyone here know the name and address please?

Any VAT registered garage following manufacturers scheduled maintenance will not invalidate warranty.

What does VAT registration have to do with it?

AFAIK it's part of the EU block exemption ruling - but could be proved wrong.

I'm guessing they correlate being VAT registered with being reputable, even though it's not always the case.

He's nearer Stowmarket than Needham. He also does good deals on tyres.

I've posted your other thread in Merc forum, but I'll repost here, in case you check this first.....

I'm not sure who you mean in Suffolk, but I can highly recommend Autotechnic Mercedes-Benz Specialist in Loddon, Norfolk. (They are about 30mins from Halesworth)
We have had 2 cars serviced by them for years, and it's a top notch service by the 2 ex-Robinsons Mercedes mechanics.
01508 522995 is their phone number smile

My boss has his SL serviced by them (was using Robinsons) he would recommend them himself.

Yes, I've used Autotechnics for my ML for 3 years now. Excellent service, no problems and much cheaper that Robinsons.
The ML is booked in the week after next for a service and MOT.
