R107: DIAGNOSE AN ISSUE
The hardest part about owning a classic Mercedes-Benz R107 SL? Finding a specialist organisation that knows the vehicles better than anyone outside of Mercedes themselves. Avoid wasting time, money and energy with main dealers and non-specialist garages and have your R107 SL inspected by our master craftsmen.
”No better place to take your SL. Incomparable level of service, knowledge and understanding on R107s and well worth my 100 mile round trip to get my car seen by the experts. And special thanks to Mark for his specific support and communication on my car.”
Adam Nethersole
MERCEDES R107 SL DIAGNOSTICS:
Old cars mean complicated mechanical systems that produce an array of quirks over time. Things you could be experiencing include a tapping sound from the engine bay, sporadic electrics, difficulty starting the vehicle from cold, rough idling, wandering and increased fuel consumption. These are complex machines and require depth and breadth of understanding.
CAPABLE CRAFTSMEN:
Our team collectively possess over one hundred years of experience working on the R107 SL, some of which carried out their apprenticeships on these vehicles back in the day. Couple with this a Workshop dedicated specifically to this model, and you have a recipe for prompt and effective diagnosis; allowing us to focus more on rectifying the issue than locating its cause.
THE RECTIFICATION PROCESS:
Once the issue has been located, we’ll get to work to return your vehicle to its optimum level of performance, using the highest quality replacement components to ensure longevity of your SL. Whilst your R107 SL is with us we’ll notify you of the overall condition of your car, making recommendations on anything urgent that needs tending to.
