MERCEDES R107 SL HEALTH CHECK
Understanding the condition of your R107 SL (models from 1971 – 1989) is essential to long-term enjoyment and maintaining your assets current and future value. Our industry leading Vehicle Health Check will you give in-depth insight into the condition of your car, allowing you to make improvements according to your individual budget.
WHAT IS IT?
SLSHOP’s VHC is a step-by-step investigation of your vehicle covering 300 different elements and includes everything from the vehicle’s Bulkhead to the state of the interior trim and even the condition of the chrome.
Our craftsmen dedicate several hours to interrogate the mechanical, structural, and cosmetic aspects of your vehicle on our Workshop ramps before heading out on the road to see how your vehicle performs in real life conditions. This investigation is much like an MOT, but far more comprehensive and allows us to furnish you with a report detailing the condition of your vehicle and any works required through a red, amber and green system of urgency.
What makes our approach stand out is our one-to-one dedication to you and your car. We’ll go through your VHC report with you, helping you to decide what you want us to focus on to bring your R107 up to YOUR standards. Whether you just want to use your R107 daily or want to create a concours winner, our job is to fulfil your expectations.
”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
WHO IS IT FOR?
EXISTING OWNERS
Owned the car for several years? Want to know the state of the undercarriage or the steering? Our VHC enables you to re-tune yourself to your vehicle and understand what (if anything) needs addressing.
GARAGED VEHICLES
A VHC is also suitable for those with vehicle’s left standing for long periods. A R107 does not like to sit, and gremlins will manifest themselves throughout the vehicle over time.
NEW OWNERS
An SLSHOP New Owner VHC is perfect for new owners who have acquired a vehicle online or via auction. The VHC will help you understand what (if any) improvements need to be made to the vehicle. We will work with you to make a plan of action to improve your vehicle to your budget and timeline. Find out more.
THOSE CONSIDERING SELLING:
A VHC is perfect for someone looking to sell their vehicle. This report will prove to any potential buyers that your vehicle is in good condition and has potentially had rectification work carried out prior to sale.
