Two years ago Mercedes-Benz Buses launched their new dealer sale model, an instrumental decision taken with the primary aim of bringing bus sales closer to its customers. With sales taking place across four strategically located dealerships in the country: Sandown Commercial Vehicles, Orbit Commercial Vehicles Cape Town, Ronnies Motors and Stucky Motors. Today, we took time to check-in with Sandown Commercial Vehicles on how it's going and what bus customers can continue to expect from the dealership.

Located on the N1, Centurion, Sandown Commercial Vehicles, is conveniently accessible to customers. The dealership boasts a dedicated bus sales team, along with a specialized bus centre to fulfil customers' aftersales/workshop requirements. Having the resources, facilities, coverage, and the know-how they are able to provide small and large customers with seamless technical, maintenance and parts support for buses. In addition they have an emergency breakdown service - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

We spoke to Garfield Masuku, the Key Account Manager for Mercedes-Benz Buses at Sandown Commercial Vehicles, where he unpacked his views on the evolving bus market and the positive impact the new Mercedes-Benz Buses sales model has on the customer.
