Our antique Mercedes (my grandfather left it to us in his will) needed a facelift so we asked Mercedes Benz Service where I should take it for some auto-trimming work done.

They recommended Wall T & Sons Brookvale.

The trimming itself was ok but avoid this place at all costs if we were you. The bloke (I think he is one of the owners) talked to us condescendingly and patronisingly. He quoted $350 and ended up charging us $750 so there was also the issue of honesty.

We were shocked and awed but could not be bothered to argue with him. $400 is only a couple of hours work for me as a lawyer.

Approximate cost: $750
