Mercedes-Benz (MB) Trucks dealership Western Commercial is ending the service and parts franchise agreements it has with the manufacturer to concentrate solely on vans, writes Chris Tindall.
In a letter to customers seen by motortransport.co.uk, Western said that it would stop providing MB servicing for HGVs at its four depots in Scotland by mutual agreement on 30 June.
“After a thorough review of our ongoing operations, we have made the strategic decision to focus our Western Commercial business solely on Mercedes-Benz Vans,” it said.
“Our Mercedes-Benz Van Sales, Servicing, Parts & MobiloVan Roadside Assistance operations will continue uninterrupted and we look forward to sharing our van development updates with those truck customers who also operate Mercedes-Benz Vans in due course.”
The letter to customers came as Alltruck Group announced it had been appointed an authorised repairer in Scotland for MB Trucks.
