I need a few bits looked at on the C63, nothing major but whilst its in Warranty, why not?

So, recommendations.

MB Chelsea is near me but for some reason I feel they might charge lots but might be used to seeing expensive AMG's.....

Anywhere else?

if its still in warranty and its a faulty part they cant charge you anything no matter which dealer you go to.

That's a good point........however I also don't wanna use a dealership that has a 'don't give a crap about the customer' kind of attitude!

How desperate are you to get it done in London?
I am based in West London but take mine to Oxford and then go shopping at Bicester Village while they work on the car-I have also heard good stuff about Hughes of Beaconsfield

Bicester Village is a disappointment!

But I see your point!

My advice would be to use Tonbridge, I have yet to find a London dealer I am happy with.

When one of my carbon mirrors (genuine carbon fibre AMG at a cost of £1300 each) started to fall apart, a certain London group dealer said that carbon mirrors could not be ordered from the factory (although they are now options on many AMG models) and they would order a standard black one and 'get someone to put a carbon style wrap on it'. Needless to say what I said cannot be written here.

A certain London group dealer also said that I did not need to do an oil change on the LSD until the first service (around 10000miles) despite the handbook clearly stating the LSD needed an oil change at 3000km.

A certain London group dealer had my previous car in for 5 days to fix noisey/rattley doors. When I dropped it off I showed them the problem by pushing on the door card, when I picked it up I pressed on the door card and hey presto - same noise.

You takes your chances.....

MB World aren't too far from you, could get them to look at the bits whilst you wander around the showroom/museum.

I've been dealing with Watford MB for past 6 or so years for my Mum's A-Class, as the two more local West London ones were less than inspiring, and Watford have been OK, and I haven't felt the need to venture anywhere else after 6 years....yet.
