MERCEDES-BENZ OF SPRINGFIELD TURNS 3

By Janice Jackson | October 19, 2020

Chicopee, MA, October 16, 2020– Mercedes-Benz of Springfield is 3 years old. Officially, doors opened on October 16, 2017. As you may recall, the ribbon cutting ceremony took place November 1, 2017 and the grand opening reception on December 1, 2017.

 

Time flies when you are having fun… While it may only be 3 years since we first opened our doors, we feel part of the fabric of the community we call home! We’ve introduced the brand to so many in Western Massachusetts who never dreamed they would one day drive a Mercedes-Benz AND given Mercedes-Benz loyalists in the Pioneer Valley a new home. –Peter Wirth

 

Humble beginnings

Mercedes-Benz of Springfield began as an idea about 6 years ago. If you passed by the building site two weeks before opening, you may not have considered opening day (Oct 16) a realistic endeavor.

The first customer drove into the store at 8 am for service opening day and the business has steadily grown since. Mercedes-Benz of Springfield’s early and sustained success continues to validate MBUSA’s decision to put a point in the Pioneer Valley, despite the 11 year hiatus in having a local dealership, the numbers prove there are many local and aspiring Mercedes-Benz owners here.

 

 

Mercedes-Benz of Springfield – by the numbers

  • 25,785 cars serviced since opening day
  • 34,600 car washes given
  • Over 3,500 vehicles sold and delivered
  • Mercedes-Benz of Springfield has partnered with 250+ organizations
  • Mercedes-Benz of Springfield has been steadily growing – 30 employees graced the halls on opening day and now have 49.
  • 2 BusinessWest 40 Under 40 Wins
  • 2 Mercedes-Benz Best of the Best Awards
  • EY Entrepreneur of the year Finalist

 

We couldn’t be prouder of how far we’ve come in only 3 years and want to thank each and every person who has supported us along the way. We couldn’t have done it without you!! –Michelle Wirth
