Mercedes-Benz West London | Flagship Site Project

The new flagship site which sits in an elevated location against the M4 thoroughfare into London has been the site of a complete redevelopment, in which Straightset delivered all the requirements of the Servicing & MOT Centre, Vehicle Servicing Workshop/ MOT Equipment and Workshop Services.

Straightset has had the pleasure of working closely with Mercedes-Benz Retail Group over many years working on projects such as Dartford, West Drayton, Epsom and having originally installed the Equipment in the Brentford former workshop in 1980’s. Working closely with the client, our teams stripped out the original large workshop on the site in Brentford and installed the site into temporary facility across the road to facilitate Servicing and MOTs for 2 years whilst the Brentford dealership was demolished and a new one rebuilt.

The new flagship workshop started in planning in 2019 and was meticulously planned and designed by our experienced drawing office and install project teams, utilising our years of experience in understanding exact Mercedes-Benz Retail Group’s requirements.

During the COVID-pandemic working with RG Group the first fix operation saw all 35 cassettes for the inground Slift lifts installed into the floor slab, all the pipework for air, water, lubrication systems and exhaust extraction both for below ground stowaway systems, as well as above ground systems in this 3-story building.

In addition to the 35 bays complete with Shure workbenching systems, a reception bay was fitted out with a flush fitted inspection lift, Class IV One Person MOT Test lane with brake tester, wheel alignment bay, and 2 post lifts. Our fabrication shop completed the clients’ vision with bespoke special manufactured tool storage solutions, unique to Mercedes-Benz Retail Group and a range of workshop tools and equipment.

The new dealership opened its doors on 11^th October 2021. We want to thank all the teams involved in this huge achievement, during a challenging climate, as well as the client for enabling us to be part of this amazing project.
