Stop chasing issues. Trust a specialist who knows the W113 Pagoda Inside & Out.

Our diagnosis procedure puts you and your car at the centre, starting with a consultation to understand the problems you have encountered in your time owning your vehicle. This provides a human element to the diagnosis procedure, before our Craftsmen interrogate your vehicle in real world conditions and in our Workshops.

OUR APPROACH

Over years of restoring, servicing and enjoying Pagodas of our own, we have developed a distinguished and dependable approach to W113 Diagnosis.

Each Pagoda is unique, but there is an array of signs that enable our Craftsmen to promptly locate an issue, saving you hours in labour costs. Our team generally start with the fuel system and Spark plugs, checking the colour of your plugs to understand how your Pagoda’s engine is operating. If you’re experiencing running issues, this will generally lead our team on to the Injection system, which often prompts inspection of the fuel pump, injection pump and cold start system.

Other issues could include HT leads or the distributor. The absence of sensors on all Pagoda engines makes the diagnostic process much easier. However, recognising the signs of component failure is what makes our team unique.

Our goal is to locate and solve the issue as quickly as possible, preventing any impact to your motoring plans. To further speed up the pace of diagnostics and reduce the costs to you, we utilise an array of test components.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TEST COMPONENTS:

With the largest supply of classic Mercedes W113 Pagoda parts in the world, we have a bank of test components that can be used to understand what components need replacing. This saves time because we don’t have to wait for components to arrive, and money because we aren’t charging you for replacement parts that might not solve the issue.

Once located, we can order the right components according to your budget, fitting them promptly to achieve optimum…

Our dedication to you and your vehicle is about giving you a Pagoda that performs on the button. Your Pagoda doesn’t need to be immaculate; it must simply offer you a reliable, enjoyable and effortless enjoyment experience.

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!
