Mercedes-Benz dealer Rygor Commercials has opened a brand-new branch in Reading as part of a £2m investment.
Located at Worton Grange Industrial Park – just a two-minute drive from J11 of the M4 – the site features state-of-the-art facilities, offering customers a modern and sleek environment when visiting the new branch.
It’s conveniently located just a short way from the existing Reading site, which will remain open until the whole team and all scheduled work moves across the new site over the next few weeks, in order to fully support customers during the transition.
Sean Joyce, aftersales director, said: “At Rygor, we continually invest in our facilities and infrastructure, not just for our customers, but also to provide an exceptional working environment for our team.
“What hasn’t changed though is our amazing team at Rygor Reading! They are on hand (as always) to keep customers at the heart of everything they do, from first contact to the successful completion of a first-fix visit. Our whole team looks forward to welcoming customers to our fantastic new site.”
The firm’s newest site has been future-proofed to meet and exceed expectations for its customers. It includes a specialist van workshop, so LCV customers will benefit from facilities such as a bespoke MOT lane, and a ‘fast fit’ area focusing on express maintenance such as wiper blade changes, tyre tracking and wheel changes.
With 44,000 sq. ft of space, the new site’s dedicated truck workshop is able to fully maintain electric vehicles, including the Fuso eCanter and the Mercedes-Benz eEconic/eActros. It also provides two separate truck pits and an ATF lane, tacho facilities and extensive hard standing in the workshop area,.
Alongside its extensive aftersales and maintenance capabilities, the site also offers a sleek and bright showroom for those looking to invest in a new or used Mercedes-Benz van from Rygor. The full range of new and used Mercedes-Benz vans are available, including the eSprinter Panel Van, the eVito Panel Van, the eVito Tourer and the eCitan.
John Keogh, appointed as the company’s managing director, following its MBO in November 2022, said: “At Rygor, we support our customers from their first enquiry – all the way through the life of the vehicle with expert maintenance and repair – ensuring they have everything they need to succeed. As we continue to see more of our customers trying to reduce their carbon footprint, we will stay ahead of the game, offering solutions and sales expertise to businesses in the Reading area, supporting them with test drives of electric vehicles and utilising the eReady app from Mercedes-Benz to help them identify if their business is ready to move to electric.”
Rygor’s new site in Reading is already serving customers and will receive its official opening on 21 January 2022.
