Amazing service. Had an error message come up from another national garage, said they could not diagnose it properly. Called Mercedes Benz, they asked for 100 before anything could be looked at. Fred and his team are welcoming and down to Earth people. It is obvious why Castec has been around for years now. Honest and resolved in half a day. Will definitely use again. They use the proper Star testing kit. If you own a Mercedes, check them out. Thank you Fred.
