HERITAGE BRAKE CHECK (1950s & 1960s)
Effective braking is paramount to an enjoyable classic Mercedes-Benz experience. With many of us transitioning from modern cars into our weekend classics, having confidence that the brakes are on par with modern standards is essential. Our Heritage Brake Check is designed to ensure your Brakes and associated components are in top order.
WHAT DOES A BRAKE CHECK INVOLVE?
Our Heritage craftsmen will test your brakes in real-world conditions to identify common issues such as pulling, squeaking, sticking or weak functioning. Following on from this, each component is inspected, with obvious elements such as your pads, brake lines et al. investigated. Once complete, a report will outline the functioning of your brakes, with guidance on what (if anything) needs rectifying.
WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER A BRAKE CHECK?
Our Brake check will improve the performance and economy of your vehicle and restore enjoyment in each journey you take, short or long. Amending any issues with your brakes will benefit the longevity of other components such as the transmission and your tires.
A brake check will also evidence in your service book that you’ve gone to extra lengths to keep your classic Mercedes-Benz in top order, showing potential buyers that you have invested in the future of the vehicle.

Pagoda & 60’s Shop Tour
In the beginning, R107 customers started bringing their 1960s cars to SLSHOP. Following this, we’ve grown into a dedicated workshop specifically for cars of this era. Here, you’ll find a wide variety of Pagodas. Of those, some are here for final touches, some for initial assessment, and everything in between. After all, every Pagoda’s needs are different. And it’s not just SLs in this workshop, either… In addition, we regularly see earlier SLs and all manner of saloons, coupes, and convertibles from this glorious era of style and statement.
So step back in time and browse our 1960s workshop here. Because who doesn’t love eyeing beautiful old cars!
