Mercedes-Benz Newbury

From an email issued by the parent company Sandown, it would appear that the Mercedes-Benz franchise finished at that location on 1 May 2026.

M-B servicing will still be available.

OMODA JAECOO is now their future.

I was surprised to read that email.

Shame as they've always been a good Merc dealer, at least they are still supplying parts and service.

Not sure what Mercedes Basingstoke is like, but Reading has a terrible reputation. A friend recently walked out of there such was the salesman's total indifference to dealing with him and a CLS he'd come to view.

The agency model was always going to lead to fewer dealers and disinterested sales people, it can create a real disconnect between the buyer and the brand (the reverse of what they think it does) because you get disinterested "advisors" handling the sale.
