Kwik Fit adds to its fleet with Mercedes-Benz
Kwik Fit has purchased more than 100 new Mercedes-Benz Sprinters for its premium mobile tyre fitting service. The 107 vehicles will be added to the company’s national fleet, to meet the surge in demand for the business’s mobile services from fleet and retail drivers across the UK.
Kwik Fit’s investment decision was driven by the Sprinter’s proven reliability and integrated service package – featuring Europe-wide 24/7 breakdown and roadside assistance – allowing Kwik Fit to maximise uptime to meet customers’ demands.
Supplied by Mercedes-Benz dealership Motus Track & Van, the initial batch of 15 vans was recently deployed to service capacity in high-demand areas across the UK.
The additional 92 are set to be rolled out over the course of the year, with the potential introduction of further vehicles as part of an ongoing replacement model and mutual growth aspirations.
Mark Wellings, mobile divisional director at Kwik Fit, said: “Our objective is to provide a premium, professional mobile tyre fitting service that prioritises convenience and flexibility for customers across the UK, but this can only be achieved if we have enough vans on the road.
“This agreement for over 100 new Mercedes-Benz Sprinters will allow us to meet the increasing demand for our services, reducing downtime across our fleet significantly – thanks to the vans’ well-documented reliability as well as the comprehensive support package included.”
