‘A pathetic effort of air that in no way resembles climate control.’
It's boiling, you turn your air con on in the car and... that's what greets you.

We're due a heat wave, and this is the time of year we get really busy with air con issues here at MBS Exeter.

It's easy to put off having the air conditioning serviced when you don't need it. But when you're stuck with all the windows open in a traffic jam, you start wondering why you skipped it.

We want to help you understand the process, so in the next video, we'll walk you through exactly what an air con service involves and why it matters.

If you drive a Mercedes, BMW or MINI and your air con isn't working as it should, get in touch. We can help.

Without blood doing its thing in our bodies, we wouldn't be here!

It's no different for the oil in your car. It’s a vital element to keeping your car moving, and running smoothly under the bonnet.

But unlike human blood, which your body naturally filters and regenerates, your engine relies entirely on you to give it a fresh start.
As the owner of a BMW, Mercedes, or Mini, you didn’t choose the brand just to get you from A to B. You chose it for its quality and how it feels to drive.

But that effortless, responsive drive comes with a bit of nurturing. Clean oil keeps everything running efficiently, allowing the car to perform to its full potential.

Putting it off might not cause a problem right away, but over time, old oil becomes dirty and forces the engine to work harder. That impacts that once-smooth performance and risks unexpected, costly disruptions down the line.

Sticking to the manufacturer’s schedule ensures you get miles and miles of driving with a smile on your face (mostly, anyway—we take no responsibility for traffic hold-ups on the M5!).

If your service light is showing,
or you can't remember when you had the last oil service, we're here to help. Just give us a call! We have direct access to the official digital service records and can tell you in one quick chat exactly what’s due on your car.

The presentation of a garage workshop says a lot about the quality of work being done, in our opinion.

A clean workshop means spills get spotted and dealt with fast, no trip or slip hazards for the team, and the people working on your car are in an environment that encourages them to want to be organised and tidy in their work.

Mercedes, BMW and MINI owners care about their cars and trust us with them. Cars like these deserve a workspace that offers a touch of pampering!

Here, George takes his turn on the floor cleaner, and Pete, the owner, isn't too proud to take his turn either.

Most customers don’t get to see inside the workshop, but cleanliness means a lot to us!

How important is the cleanliness of a garage to you? Let us know in the comments, we'd be interested to know.

Mercedes, BMW or MINI owner? Read this before choosing an independent garage.
Being without your car is almost as inconvenient as being without your phone. It makes you feel anxious just thinking about it!
That’s why when choosing an independent garage in the Exeter area, it’s worth looking further than the price of the work needed.
Modern Mercedes, BMW and MINI vehicles rely heavily on computer systems. Some repairs require specialist diagnostics, software updates, coding or programming.
Without the right equipment, knowledge an training some garages just don’t have the capacity to carry out the work and may need to send you to another garage, leaving you without your car for even longer.
As Mercedes, BMW and MINI specialists, we’ve invested heavily in dealer-level diagnostic equipment and training. That means we can carry out diagnostics, programming, updates and repair work in-house, helping to get you back on the road sooner.
We suggest asking this question before booking your car in to a new garage:
“Do you have specialist equipment specifically for the brand of my car?”
It could save you time, inconvenience and an extra trip somewhere else.
If you’ve ever been sent from one garage to another for a repair, let us know in the comments, what happened? We'd love to hear your stories!

When you're behind the wheel of a Mercedes CLS 63, it's all its performance, how it looks, the kudos, and that unmistakable AMG exhaust rumble.

It's easy to forget just how much engineering is squeezed in under the bonnet to give you the ultimate driving experience.

But over time, things can wear down without you even realising.

Pete just stripped the front of this V8 engine down to replace the timing chain, and he shows us why specialist maintenance is non-negotiable on these cars.

If you own a CLS 63 and you're not sure if it's due for a timing chain inspection, contact us. We can look it up for you. millimetres of clearance, right against the subframe. If the mounts begin to sag or the chain gets loose, it can trigger a domino effect that damages the parts around them. Ignoring it could be catastrophic for the engine.

These cars are built to thrill, but keeping them at peak performance takes a specialist.

Noticing any subtle warning signs early makes a big difference.

If you own a CLS 63 and you're not sure if it's due a timing chain inspection, contact us. We can look it up for you.

Reviews like this make our week.

Nobody has to take the time to write a Google review with such kind words about a garage, but this lady did!

When it happens, it impacts on the whole team in the best way.

As a small, local business in Marsh Barton, we never take it for granted. Reviews are important to us. Every great review tells us what we want to know; not just that the job got done well, but that you’ve felt looked after. And, they help other local drivers find us.

What makes you take the time to leave a review? We’d love your comments.

There’s a lot of talk at the moment about the risk of investing in young people, and we’re not really hearing about the risk of not investing in them.

The shortage of skilled technicians is already with us, whether it’s here in Exeter, or around the UK. If the trade doesn't back young people now, it's going to get worse.

When a young person has a genuine interest in cars, they learn fast.

Their brains are wired for the digital world , and today's Mercedes, BMW and Mini models are basically computers on wheels. They pick it up quickly.

They also challenge outdated thinking which helps any trade adapt with the times.

Some of today's apprentices are tomorrow's business owners, but without giving them a solid start, we wouldn’t be giving them the chance to shape the future.

So yes, it takes time and can be frustrating, but the results are worth it and we're proud to offer that start for our young people when we can!

If you believe the trade needs to back young people gives us a like.

Mercedes, BMW and Mini tyres aren't cheap to buy

Wheel alignment that's even slightly out can wear them down quickly. It's one of those things that costs very little to check and a lot more if you ignore it

When done properly, it's measured with precision using camera technology. The kit we use reads exactly where each wheel is pointing and adjusts them from there.
If your car is pulling to one side or wearing tyres unevenly, it's time to take action.
We're in Marsh Barton, Exeter. Give us a ring or drop us a message.

Going away in the car this week? Don’t skip this 🚗

The weather’s changed dramatically this week… for the better thankfully ☀️

But hot weather, long journeys and bank holiday / half-term traffic can put extra strain on your car — especially if there’s already an underlying issue.

Before a long motorway drive, here are some quick car checks we’d recommend doing first.

We’ve called it the DRIVE check:

D — Dashboard warning lights
R — Rubber (tyres)
I — Inspect fluids (oil)
V — Vision (wiper blades & washer fluid)
E — Engine cooling (coolant / air con)

A quick 10-minute check before you leave is a lot better than sitting on the hard shoulder waiting for breakdown recovery later.

Especially when the car’s full of dogs, kids, luggage and everything else 😅

Safe travels wherever you’re heading this bank holiday or half term.

Comment 🚘 if you’ve got a long drive planned.
