Why You Need A Mercedes Specialist // CLK Inspection ft. SPR Autos

Mercedes have made some great luxury cars over the years - but by nature they're complex and need someone who knows what to look for. So I took my CLK to Mercedes-Benz specialist SPR Autos for a full inspection and B Service. Here's what happened!

My car: 2006 CLK 200 Kompressor Avantgarde (M271 Supercharged)

Definitely film the return leg with SPR! They are brilliant and its great seeing your car get the attention it deserves 👍

That's the benefit of going to a specialist, they are very thorough and know the cars inside out. Nice video.

SPR are magnificent - best mechanics I’ve dealt with for any car. Actually fix things to try to save you a bit of money instead of just replacing stuff. Advise you on how to make your car last longer and they don’t replace stuff on a service for the sake of it. You don’t get booked up 9 weeks in advance unless you’re really good. 👍🏼 👍🏼

JJ, I would love to see another video with SPR doing the necessary repairs. As the owner and caretaker of a CLK500 with its 16 spark plugs (that I have yet to replace—ouch!), I was surprised to hear the bit about platinum plug orientation. That is definitely specialist knowledge.

I wholeheartedly agree an older Merc needs a specialist. I also discovered Sam's channel a little while ago and I've actually commented a number of times on his vids, "this is why you take your car to a specialist". He certainly knows his stuff.

I watch Sam’s channel, if I owned a Mercedes I would trust him to take care of it. The depth of experience is obvious and he’s passing on his knowledge to the young lads. Good move taking your car to SPR.

Straight out of the gate with a handy tip for the sticky park brake, splendid! Noticed this issue recently so great timing for a possible easy fix.

I really enjoyed this video, it is always good opportunity to learn about maingenance, SPR was really great 😊

I’ve kept my CLK for 11years. Serviced properly each year. Well worth spending to keep 100%. The biggest issue is finding a truthful expert. Try and use genuine parts as well. Being a Mercedes club member you are able to find the best people in your area. Sometimes the main dealer is best.

[Genjokoan]

Yes, more please. I just bought a CLK430. I have had W124s, 400E and E420 for three decades. But the CLK is new to me.
And double plus good what you said about getting a specialist. They can be the difference between a great car and a long nightmare of auto misery.

[coolcat]

Yes, please, film the next visit as well. Subscriber of SPR Autos here and great to see Sam working on an CLK 200! Shame about the faults that have accumulated; I had to replace the rear flexi brake hoses on my CLK 200 as well. :) However, as you say, the car is 100% worth it!

[bernardpowell]

Excellent video JJ and a brilliant insight to great service done SPR Auto.excellent video. Thank you
Keep it up, looking forward to the next service done on the car at SPR.

[colindavidson]

Great collaboration. I watch both channels and have a W203 C32 AMG a W209 CLK350 and a W219 CL55 AMG so love the merc stuff.

[nickzourb]

I like the fact you posted the W203 C-Class in the C55 AMG version that had the.... CLK 209 front to accommodate the wider engine !
Cheers from Greece, 2002 CLK200 C209 owner here!

[stephanjanssen]

Hi JJ, great vid, to me it feels extra good, when my merc is in good hands. I ll bring my car also to a specialist for maintenance, they have a pasion for Mercedes Benz here in the Netherlands.

For now we have a C 204s (c200 cgi engine /184 hp / automatic) brilliant car, but after this benz, we gonna look for a CLK 280 or 320 to, timeless beautiful design. I always watch your vid's👍

Great video and peace of mind having it checked over by SPR

[Hali]

wow, the attention to detail! Would like to see the part 2

[Rjhs]

Really interesting vid JJ. I love watching a really experienced person doing their job well.
I am referring to the mechanic but of course, the same can also be applied to the other person featuring in the video 😊

[rjkulman]

you've made a wise choice, SPR cares about you / car
