Steve Crozier, founder and director of Auto Services Perth commented: "This new facility for Daimler Truck UK marks an exciting new chapter for our family business. Our story began in the early 1970s when my father and I opened our first garage in a small unit in Perth town centre and recognised there was a need for servicing and repairs of commercial vehicles. We have always understood that these vehicles represent the livelihood of their owners."
Today, Steve works alongside his wife Elaine and son Mark, who manages the recovery division. "That sense of family, care, and dedication is what drives us forward, and it will continue to shape everything we do in Perth and beyond," Steve added.
Daimler Truck UK has welcomed the partnership with Auto Services Perth and its strategic importance for the region: “As a family-run business, we see this new authorised repairer as more than just a facility but an opportunity to serve new communities while continuing to deliver the quality and care our current customers value. We look forward to welcoming operators into our Perth site,” said Leonhard Niemann, Head of Dealer Network Development at Daimler Truck UK.
“This new site will ensure operators in the region have access to the outstanding service and support they expect from the Mercedes-Benz Trucks network," he added.
