I've been taking my Mercedes to the main dealer since I bought it, but the costs are really starting to add up. I'm considering a well known independent garage, but I'm worried about the quality and whether they'll have the right expertise. Before I make a decision, I've been trying to find a good certified workshop maintenance guide online to understand what the official standards actually are for something like a Service B. I found an article about Mercedes service times that explained what authorized centers do differently, like using specialized diagnostic tools and following factory procedures. It made me realize that a "certified" status probably means more than just having a Mercedes sign. For those of you who use independents, how do you verify they meet the same standards as an authorized shop, especially for the complex electronic work?
Does anyone actually use a certified workshop for their Mercedes here?
