Avantgarde Automotive Clevedon BS21 6XU

"First time customer. Nice mechanics, and importantly they know what they’re doing. There is a difference between garages that do mercedes as opposed to only doing mercedes. Their mechanic found the fault in 3 minutes that another garage could not find in 2 visits. Split boost pipe, which made the car run terrible, and go into limp mode sometimes. The split was awkward to find because it was behind another pipe but the avantegarde mechanic found it so fast. Fixed the following week, invoice was lower than expected and the car now runs like new again. We had the problem for months and didn't know what to do until someone recommended Avantgarde."

"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."

"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 service"

"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 Merc Chapeau Lads - keep up the great work!"

"Excellent Service and highly recommended. Took car in on late Monday evening. Had noise coming from engine. They new exactly what the problem was. All fixed and had car back Thursday. Car running perfectly. Thank you Steve & team. Gary"
