Automobile dealer, Silver Star Auto Ltd (SSAL), is organising a week-long free inspection on its flagship Mercedes-Benz for customers and the general public at its branches across the country.

The event, according to the company, aims at boosting After-Sales service by ensuring the safe use of Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

 A German expect from Mercedes Benz-Daimler, Markus Fecht, is being hosted by SSAL to engage Mercedes-Benz users on free inspection and check safety features of the vehicle such as the braking systems, airbags, seat belts steering, etc.

Mr Ahmed Farouk, General Manager, After-Sales of SSAL, said the service week is being organised in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, Daimler, Germany to examine Mercedes-Benz vehicles of customers to ensure they are safe to use.

“This we believe will strengthen our relationship with the customers by giving them free advice on their vehicles as well,” he said.

“The German expert is here to provide on-the-job training and to update our team of Technicians on new information and service tips with regard to Mercedes-Benz vehicles,” he said adding that customers are engaged during the process of diagnosing so they can know much about their own vehicles.

On his part, Chief Executive Officer of SSAL, Mr Asad Nazir thanked the Mercedes-Benz customers for keeping faith with SSAL as their trusted Mercedes-Benz dealer. He expressed optimism that at the end of the service week the safety aspect of their Mercedes-Benz vehicles will be boosted for a safe driving experience.

He, however, cautioned them to be wary of unauthorized workshops and visit SSAL branches across the country for genuine spare parts and service, stressing that visiting unauthorized workshops deny customers warranty claims for their vehicles and also stands the risk of damaging their vehicles.

Also present to host customers who were present at the Graphic road branch of SSAL was Mr. Francis Johnny Amegayibor, General Manager, Sales Passenger cars who reminded the Mercedes-Benz customers not to tamper with the electronic features in their vehicles but consult SSAL on any unknown development as the company invest in giving customers a good value for their money.
