Mercedes SLS servicing recommendations

[Julian Thompson]

Need a service on my SLS but both previous times it went in for service to MB dealer locally it came out much worse than it went in.

Can anyone recommend an AMG dealer that knows these cars? Preferably Mercedes owned. Happy to travel but I’m in Cheshire so if it’s not crazy far that’s even better.

Julian, North East, as opposed to North West, but Mercedes-Benz Stockton on Tees (Sytner Group) have looked after ours since new and no complaints.

AMG capable dealerships generally make a thing of it so should be fairly clear on websites etc.

Thanks guys, yes, they say they are “capable” but last time my car was treated really badly and left with paint damage, a flat battery and flat tyres. The time before they scratched the steering wheel, left parts loose and used 1/3 tank of fuel “testing” the car. I’m absolutely not taking it back to that one ever again hence I’m looking for recommendations.

Can you give some kind of Enigma / Bletchley park coded name for the dealer so I can avoid taking my C63 there?

I think that would be against forum rules. I did publicly leave a one star Google review for them with pictures of the damage they caused to warn others. I get mails from Google periodically congratulating me for so many thousand views etc, so I dutifully share these milestones with the dealer service department, who never reply!

Not used these guys myself but have heard good things - might be worth a call at least
