The workshop
Hélder answersthe phone himself.
MotorBest Algarve is an independent workshop in Patacão, just outside Faro, run by Hélder, a Mercedes-Benz trained technician.
Customers drive in from the whole Algarve and from abroad: owners who want the dealer's knowledge without the dealer's bill, and travellers whose car gave up mid-holiday. The reviews keep saying the same things. They find the fault others missed. They explain it when they hand the car back. They change only what needs changing.
It is a busy place, so book about a week ahead. If you are stranded, call anyway.

At my most recent service in the UK I was told the front discs on my 350 CLS needed replacing urgently. MotorBest said I only needed pads! Honest blokes, very impressed.
