Mercedes W113 New Owner Health CheckFrancis Robertson-Marriott2023-02-17T09:44:47+00:00

MERCEDES SL PAGODA NEW OWNER HEALTH CHECK

Have you just acquired a Mercedes SL Pagoda at auction or online? Are you completely in tune with your vehicle’s cosmetic, mechanical and structural condition

Our New Owner Check is our fuel injected route to getting you on the road for your first year of SL enjoyment. We’ve designed the New Owner Health Check as a package to allow you to understand the condition of your vehicle, ensure it is running correctly and is road legal. At the core, is the 300-point investigation report that will give you a complete picture of the condition of your W113 SL.

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER A NEW OWNER HEALTH CHECK?

Purchasing a W113 is an exciting prospect that can be daunting. Our New Owner Check takes the stress out of the initial stages of ownership, relieving you of the responsibility of finding the right specialist to get your car on the road. As the UK’s leading Pagoda specialist, our team will work with you to give you the perfect Pagoda you desire. Whether you want a car to use every weekend, rain or snow, or a concours level Pagoda, every journey starts with a New Owner Health Check.

THE W113 NEW OWNER’S PACKAGE INCLUDES:

Full Vehicle Health Check: covering 300 different aspects of your vehicle’s mechanical, structural and cosmetic condition; with a report supplied to you outlining these elements using a traffic light system to prioritise any rectification work.

A Service: We will carry out an oil and filter change and MOT if required. An oil and filter change are essential to keep your engine operating efficiently – contaminated oil will cause poor running and potentially irreversible damage to your engine.

Pagoda Setup: Ensures the fuel pressures and injection systems are optimised for on the button starts in all temperatures. This process will iron out any flat spots throughout the rev range. Our technicians will also adjust the ride to ensure a firm stance when cornering. Find out more.

Valuation: Our experts will provide you with an honest and reliable valuation certificate you can provide to insurers to get the cover your car deserves.

    Introducing CARE by SLSHOP

    SLSHOP’s Sam Bailey explains what CARE is and how it works. If you have a classic Mercedes, join CARE today to benefit from unique discounts and preserve your car the right way.

    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!
