I've just bought an R170 SLK 320 and can't wait to get it home. It's the first MB for us so looking for recommendations on a good indie garage who know R170's well to give the car a once over and refresh as needed. Durham or anywhere in the NE Iideally.

Thanks all. CMD

My chap, for the last decade, is Malcolm Hyde (Hydes of Boroughbridge 01423 326688) who is Mercedes trained and extremely competent.

He's just off junction 48 of the A1M in North Yorkshire, but not too far from Durham in terms of time.

Phil Baister at Staithes Garage, Dunston.

Neville Wright at Diamond Garage, West Auckland.

Both possess amazing knowledge and expertise.

As mentioned - Nev - know of him but not used him. If I was nearer he would be my man.
