In the UK, another countdown is on. In July, LSH Auto UK is scheduled to open its latest state-of-the-art flagship at Brighton Road, Stockport, Greater Manchester.

Not content with resting on its laurels as one of the leading premium auto dealer groups, LSH Auto UK is in the final stage of unveiling its Mercedes-Benz of Stockport, which will be one of Europe’s biggest Mercedes-Benz dealerships.

Stockport Gets Ready

Just around 18 months ago, LSH Auto announced its plans for the development, bringing a £60m investment to a land area of 42,310 sqm. In October 2017, when applying for planning permission to build this facility, it committed to regenerating the industrial site that previously had been neglected for years, and transforming this gateway to Stockport into a prominent landmark.

The development is now starting to breathe new life into the area. Mercedes-Benz of Stockport consists of two main buildings: the Mercedes-Benz Autohaus (a.k.a. Showroom) and the Mercedes-Benz Body & Paint Centre. Since 1 April 2019, the 17,166 sqm, three-storey Body & Paint Centre is already fully operational, providing body & paint, used car preparation, storage and related services, as well as 30 workshop bays. An initial 55 jobs have been created.

As for the main Mercedes-Benz Autohaus, 13,492 sqm, finishing touches are currently being applied to the three-storey facility. Scheduled for completion and official opening in July 2019, the Autohaus will be able to showcase 140 vehicles, including brand-new Mercedes-Benz cars as well as approved used cars.
