A 27,626 square foot stand-alone is being renovated into a facility for classic vehicle services. Building alterations and installations of facility and workshop equipment are expected to take six months.
“Southern California with its high concentration of classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles, unlimited driving season and great appreciation for classic cars as a lifestyle statement is the perfect environment to establish our specialised client support service for the growing number of Mercedes-Benz classic car owners,” said facility general manager Peter Spieth.
Through its close partnership with the original Mercedes-Benz Classic Centre established eleven years ago in Fellbach, Germany, the US facility will provide restoration expertise and archival materials related to vehicle origin.
Activities will include buying and selling classic cars and performing appraisal and repair services. The facility will also have a boutique featuring exclusive accessories, automobilia and literature plus a display of vintage vehicles.
