Heritage Mercedes Parts:
Through our network of global connections, SLSHOP continues to unearth long-forgotten collections of rare and even obsolete stock. These components often retain their original packaging; with most of the collections found dating back as far as the early 1960s.
SLSHOP is often one of the sole custodians of these rare, New-Old Stock components. They are both old because they have often been manufactured in a previous era, and new because they have not been used and are in their original, ready-to-use condition.
Our efforts to acquire these parts, grants owners and restorers’ access to rare components in an ">as-new condition, which may not have been seen for generations. These parts enable vehicles to be restored to a level not achievable were it not for the availability of SLSHOP’s Heritage Mercedes Parts.
Reclaimed Mercedes Parts:
As specialists in a range of classic Mercedes-Benz models, we are often tasked with evaluating whether a vehicle is beyond economical repair. Those vehicles that we deem to have exhausted their usability, are assessed for their capacity to help preserve other road-worthy vehicles. We will establish which parts possess originality and sufficient lifespan, making them available to those cars that will not survive without the components from a donor car. These parts are stripped from existing vehicles and made available. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Remanufactured Mercedes Parts
SLSHOP Remanufactured Parts are fully tested and are underwritten with the same warranty terms as a new boxed product.
To deal with the demand for an increasingly large number of Classic Mercedes-Benz parts that are no longer available or manufactured, SLSHOP leads a crucial process of remanufacturing original Mercedes-Benz components. Each part is revived using the exact standards of Mercedes-Benz, as well as improved with modern materials.
Often Remanufactured parts are referred to as ‘rebuilt’, ‘reconditioned’ or ‘refurbished’ products, however these 3 terms often describe a ‘wash and brush up’ or ‘make do and mend’ approach which does not fit within the culture of the SLSHOP.
SLSHOP will go to lengths to revive what you may think is a faulty item. From braking and cooling components to fire damaged instruments and accident damaged bumpers, we continue to replenish our inventory of remanufactured original components.
Remanufactured Parts are essential to the lifeline of vehicles around the world, enabling owners to improve, restore, and enjoy their classic Mercedes-Benz for years to come.
