Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Well worth the journey if you aren't local (60 mile round trip for me) and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

I can?t believe I?m writing a review about a second hand car purchase, but it was such a great experience it would be unfair not to. Lee is an absolute gentleman, not at all salesy or pushy, very honest, just wants you to be happy with the car. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend

The real professionals and my go-to. Definitely the place to go for independent Mercedes servicing and repairs. They'll handle all of the weird and wonderful stuff very well.

Superb workmanship once again, wouldn't go anywhere else, they know Mercedes inside out.

Amazing independent Mercedes service centre. Absolutely immaculate workshop. What Steve or his staff don't know about Mercedes Benz definitely isn't worth knowing. You want it done properly, forget the franchise dealers. Bring your car here. Prices are so much cheaper than the dealers too.

Took my car in for a non exciting gearbox oil change, the prices and timescakes were very reasonable, compared to maindealer, judging by the exotic mercedes here it's the right place, they also updated the digital service book. Will take my mercs here for any required work in future.

All fixed. Nice mechanics, and most importantly they know what they?re doing.

Really good experience with these guys. Got my C350 in for a full service and inspection as I just bought the car. The guys were really professional and made the whole experience effortless. Came from afar but made it a day out at the sea side with the misses and kid. Will definitely come back for next serviceServices: Oil change

I was recommended to Avantgarde by another less skilled garage, and I am so glad they did. These chaps are truly amazing. Do not take your Mercedes anywhere else (and that includes the main dealers in the area!). Let me share with you a little story.One morning, after the first Covid lockdown, and I went to drive my 10yr old Merc C class estate which hadn't been moved for 3 months. . And she was dead as a dodo. I just assumed flat battery and called the RAC. He said my battery was fine, but that the ECU was "blown/fried" and given its age she was most likely a write off. (Engine control unit, the brains of the whole car)?.He gave me the name of a mobile Specialist I could call out with the software necessary to diagnose and confirm it. ?That chap came and said, it wasn?t fried, but it would need to be replaced, but he couldn?t do it on my drive as it needed a garage ramp ? but if I got it towed to Avantgarde they could do it for a couple of grand.Steve at Avantgarde took it on ? he said ?I don?t believe anybody else diagnosis other than my own? :-) and he went to work on it. He called me a couple of hours later and said it was all fixed and back on the road ? and the bill ?. £100. He said there is one small fuse that governs the gearbox and ignition and its a pain to get to ? and when it goes, it gives symptoms like a fried ECU.I have used them ever since ? in fact I used them yesterday, where Craig repaired my broken tailgate in 10 minutes!!With his F1 background ? I honestly think that isn?t anything Steve cannot fix on a MercChapeau Lads - keep up the great work!Services: Auto body & trim replacement

This was my first visit to Avantgare Automotive but doubt it will be my last.Excellent friendly but professional service with reall attention paid to ensuring everything was OK with my car before it was returned.I especially like that a test drive was undertaken and a report provided on how it performed under real road conditions as so many workshops these days refuse to drive customers cars believing (wrongly in my opinion) they can diagnose any problem through inspection only.If your Mercedes-Benz needs looking after then give these folks a chance and I doubt you will regret it.Updating my previous review since I have had further dealings with this company as my partner had her C-class serviced here today.Another positive experience in that we were dealt with promptly and courteously upon arrival.When we returned to collect it we were advised of what had been done as well as as details of and a cost for a couple of items that will require attention in the future but are not immediately necessary.Again I am going to suggest you give Avantgarde a try if you have never used them before as I'm certainly happy to have followed a similar recommendation.

Was recommended Avantgarde Automotive on a AMG owners club I am part of. From the initial inquiry regarding a fault with my C63 to upon collection of having the fault rectified they was 5* especially Lee who handled my booking and looked after me while my car was in for repair. Very happy with the service I received and I?ll definitely be using them in the future going forward! If you?re into cars they have some pretty cool cars over there on the ramps or parked up! Which shows they have a good reputation in my eyes to be trusted with these sort vehicles! 5 ??
