New £6m Mercedes-Benz NI Truck & Van aftersales facility opened

Mercedes-Benz Northern Ireland (MBNI) Truck and Van has announced the opening of a new £6 million aftersales facility in Dungannon, with the creation of an additional 20 jobs for the area.

The investment follows a period of significant growth for the business with the new premises now providing an enhanced offering for commercial vehicles including six drive-through truck maintenance bays and nine light vehicle maintenance bays, including a tachograph rolling road.

MBNI will also offer an aftersales service for Mercedes-Benz passenger car customers for the first time.

Group CEO Pauline McKeating said: “I am delighted with the superior standard of facilities and services we can now provide to both our commercial and private customers.

“In just nine months we have built a state-of-the-art 15,000sq ft facility that truly reflects our reputation in the marketplace, our commitment to the Dungannon area and to our wider customer base throughout Northern Ireland.

“The multi-acre site also includes an extensive parts warehouse, new electric vehicle infrastructure, and a new office for MBNI’s rental division, RentaMerc, all manned by highly qualified and professional staff, at a convenient location just off the motorway, adjacent to the M1 service area in Dungannon.”

A recruitment campaign, which is currently underway, will see 20 new positions available across a range of roles including car and commercial vehicle technicians, service advisors, parts advisors, and administrative staff.
