Independent workshop for Mercedes Benz?

[riot168]

Ok, just checked and they say hot rims and engine bonnet is normal. and if you feel very hot that's because the heat is disspating rapidly around the area.

and the way to check whether anything is wrong is just looked at the termperate in your dashboard. If it's well over 90degrees (mayeb 100?), then maybe can check again..

but usually, engine should hover at 90degrees in singapore.

I tried Tropical Success and another guy recommended by a friend. His workshop is at a Bukit Timah SPC station. Both are good.

Just an update on the workshop review I gave a few months back.

I've been there for repair 2 times..

and the 2nd time was the last straw for me .... really ... prices are marked up too much..

he does gets the problem fixed but.. i'm not going back.

you just have to go to a few more workshops to find out one that works for you.

For me, I know carousell prices are quite competitive and so you can use that as a baseline when you go to workshops to ask for repair.

Aiya can drive Mercedes are usually  towkays. They can absorb any marked up repair cost thrown at them la as long it gets the job done🤣

For older MBs. maybe you guys can consider trying this Indian chap ..... ALI or AH Lee. Used to be at Circuit Road. What impressed me when I saw him was he was referring to his MB encyclopedia (about 10cm thick!!!!) when trying to troubleshoot his customer's car 

 

The building has been demolished, but if you ask around, shouldn't be too difficult to find him 

Ali or Ah Lee still around. It's call Kompressor Auto. At Kaki Bukit. Can call him at 9750 3353. See many Merc and BMs going there. Straight n honest guy!

Its not about new old , its about the attitude and character and knowledge

the kind of haolian look from mostly Entry level conti driver especially C180/200

Maybe becos there are so many C180/200 around.

Buy new or used C E S Class or whatever, if one needs to have status symbols to show Off, then it’s sad to have to resort to this to feel confident of oneself

A class drivers no issue leh, funny. I havent seen a single f**k face one.

Yah, CLA got quite a lot of young upstarts f**k face look, think they driving CLS.  

GLA so far generally family oriented, didnt see any haolian ones yet.  

GLC also got some f**k face. Haolian what? Just a B&B car.

Paiseh OT. My aPologies

back to topic, as long as you have a decent mech who is willing to install and fix the car for you, just buy parts locally from the several MB stockists.  Cheap and fast, no problem.  On average 30-40% cheaper than going into C&C and getting carroted
