More Merc dealer changes
FURTHER CHANGES TO MERCEDES-BENZ commercial vehicles representation in New Zealand have seen Keith Andrews appointed the make’s light commercial and vans sales, service and parts dealer for a large part of Auckland….
While CablePrice has been appointed the Mercedes-Benz vans parts and service dealer for the South Island.
Keith Andrews was already representing Merc vans and X-Class utes in Whangarei – along with M-B, Freightliner and FUSO trucks and buses in a growing number of locations around the North Island.
The addition of vans and utes to its Wiri dealership will see it cover the Auckland region south of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
Keith Andrews managing director Aaron Smith says: “Mercedes-Benz has an exciting range of light commercial products and we are delighted that it has recognised our tenure, capability and desire to represent it beyond Northland.
“We have a strong Mercedes-Benz light commercial capability and have three times been awarded Mercedes-Benz Vans Dealer of the Year.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to bring our internationally recognised knowledge and expertise to the Auckland south region, and we look forward to supporting and building upon its existing Mercedes-Benz light commercial customer base.”
The addition of M-B vans parts and service dealer status to CablePrice in the South Island follows its recent confirmation as the Mainland’s sales, parts and service dealer for Mercedes-Benz heavy commercial vehicles.
CablePrice deputy MD Aidan Mahony says that the addition of the light commercial vehicles to the company’s network “further strengthens our South Island footprint, while providing Mercedes-Benz customers with the added assurance that a CablePrice branch is never far away.”
The company will provide “everything, from scheduled servicing and routine maintenance, to general repairs and roadside assistance.
“With locations in Christchurch, Timaru, Greymouth, Dunedin and Invercargill, Mercedes-Benz vans will now have a far greater presence on the South Island,” says Mahony.
“Our workshops are designed for commercial vehicles, equipped with heavy-duty lifts and have high roof studs – able to lift almost any vehicle, while remaining fully under cover. There’s nothing we can’t service or repair.
“Additionally, we have qualified Mercedes-Benz technicians at all workshops and we’re fully equipped with the latest specialist MercedesBenz diagnostic tooling.”
All branches also have fully-stocked parts departments, allowing quick turnaround times and deliveries. And, adds Mahony, “any part that’s not stocked we can usually secure overnight.”
