From September, LSH Auto will begin maintaining and repairing Mercedes-Benz vans at its dealership on Lyme Green Business Park in Macclesfield, a facility currently dedicated solely to cars.

As well as aftercare support, customers of the newest member of the Mercedes-Bens Vans retail network will also be able to benefit from emergency assistance response times.

LSH Auto says the latest extensions to the aftercare support which retails Mercedes-Benz vans from flagship outlets in Greater Manchester and Birmingham, underscore its commitment to the manufacturer’s ‘Keeping businesses moving’ brand pledge.

Martyn Webb, managing director of LSH Auto UK, said: “The expansion of our aftersales offer as it relates to Mercedes-Benz vans represents a significant investment for the business, but reflects our determination to provide customers with a service that best meets their needs.

“We appreciate that many operators, particularly those who’ve been very busy as a result of the pandemic, want to keep their vehicles on the road and earning. By opening a third workshop to vans not only will we make life more convenient for customers, but we will also help to further restrict potentially costly downtime.

“The same applies to the MobiloVan back-up we’ll be providing. Working from comprehensively equipped and stocked Sprinters based at all three dealerships, our highly-trained technicians will be providing rapid-response roadside assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.”

Mercedes-Benz Vans’ MobiloVan service is free of charge to those whose vehicles are still covered by their three-year, unlimited mileage manufacturer’s warranty, and thereafter provided the last service was by an official Dealer.

LSH Auto was awarded its light commercial vehicle (LCV) franchise less than a year ago. The workshop teams at Mercedes-Benz Vans of Stockport and Mercedes-Benz Vans of Erdington have been servicing vans alongside cars since the outset.

LSH Auto has secured accreditation from Mercedes-Benz Vans at each of its locations to retail and maintain the eVito, which is battery-powered and produces zero tailpipe emissions.
