Mercedes independent repair in Kent...?

[Ecks Ridgehead]

Anyone know of a good independent Mercedes repair place in or around West Kent / East Sussex? The central locking has gone on my SLK, and if I take it back to Mercedes in Tonbridge to get it done I might spit my coffee on my keyboard again, as they quoted me 1,100...

Can anyone help?

The guys on the MB club message board speak very highly of this guy. Not used him myself but did speak to him when I had a power steering box problem on my SL and he appeared very logical.

Sounds like a leaky vac pipe on the pump, worst case is a vacuum pump at around £350 plus fitting.

Heh...worst case is a dealership fixing it for £1,100.

I'll register on that MB Club forum today and have a look at that independent bloke.

I've registered, but for some reason I can't access that page. Could you post the guy's details here for me, please?

Ecks,

The thread was over a year ago so that may be why you can't access it. Anyway, I'll PM you his details.

Got it - thanks.
