IVE used Portimao mercedes various times upto the fourth year, then they just got expensive, I now use Firststop in Lagoa, very good service and resonably priced, any major parts needed I get sent oVer from the UK, eg window wipper motor from mercedes here 500 euros, new of ebay 100 pounds 50 pounds transport here to carvoeiro.
hope this helps.

I have used Mercedes Portimao and found them excellent with labour rates of around €65 compared to over £ 100 in U.K.

I had an engine warning light constantly coming on - it took around 6 hours labour time to sort out which was waived because the car, although second-hand, was new to me - and only charged for parts.

It is also very busy with a mix of private and commercial which is a good sign.
