For a classic Mercedes-Benz SL owner, we understand that enjoyment is paramount; but protecting the investment is also crucial. Enhancing the value of your car can be as simple as the right sort of maintenance, from the right people, so what makes an SLSHOP service stamp a desirable stamp of authority?

When browsing through classic Mercedes-Benz classifieds in print, in digital showrooms and in auction catalogues, why do cars that are ‘ex SLSHOP’ or ‘maintained by SLSHOP’ command a premium? Why is so much value put on specialist servicing?

www.matthowell.co.uk 07740 583906

Certified servicing is about more than just caring for the mechanical capabilities of your car, it is also concerned with protecting your investment, keeping you informed and anticipating future maintenance and repairs. Having a good working relationship with a specialist who understands you and your car adds value for your ownership – and the next.

When an SL arrives in our workshops with a specific fault, our technicians want to understand the full picture. For SLSHOP, it’s not enough just to establish which component is failing – we draw on our expert knowledge of these cars to investigate what caused the issue, and what unforeseen problem is likely to occur as a direct result of the fault.

Our goal is to give classic Mercedes-Benz SL owners a complete picture of their car, the very best chance to make the right choices for the safety, longevity and long term value of an SL.

Certified servicing gives you access to our experts. A fault that might take an SLSHOP technician five minutes to diagnose and rectify could result in three visits to an all-marques garage; in the same way our technicians would be perfectly qualified to service your Ferrari 348 – but tracing problems in an Italian air conditioning system would be dealt with more efficiently by a marque specialist.

A series of SLSHOP stamps in a service book alludes to so much more than just up to date oil changes – it indicates that we have spent time to understand the owner and the SL, to interpret the ownership journey and to explain the next steps in improving and maintaining the car. 

Here at SLSHOP we want to do more than just keep these cars on the road. SLSHOP servicing ensures a better understanding of your car, giving you a safer, more reliable, more valuable SL – for the future.
