In 2018, Mercedes-Benz officially became the world’s most successful manufacturer and seller of luxury, passenger vehicles. That year 2.31 million Mercedes were sold all over the world. It is easy to see why so many drivers are drawn toward the posh brand.

The Mercedes brand is continually investing in innovation and blooming technologies to help their vehicles remain competitive in every major market across the globe.

Mercedes has a long and storied history. The beginning of the mega-automobile manufacturer began in 1886 with Karl Benz’s invention of the ‘Benz Patent Motorwagen’ which is often cited as the first internal combustion engine in an automated vehicle.

The Motorwagen did not run on gas or petrol but a volatile product named ‘Ligraine‘ which was used as a spot remover, paint thinner, and degreaser before it became fuel.

ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY

In 1901, Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft (DMG) was formed to begin building ‘horseless wagons.’ The Daimler Benz headquarters are in the charming, medieval town of Stuttgart, Baden Wurttemberg, Germany where the first make of cars was produced in 1926.

The 770 model was a big hit with the Nazi party. Adolf Hitler had a 770 with a bulletproof windscreen. During 1944, Mercedes sunk to an unethical enslaving 46,000 people trapped in concentration camps to help manufacture the vehicles and bolster the war effort. Years later, Mercedes paid out a minimal reparation to the families of loved ones who toiled in the camps and factories.

INNOVATION MOVING MERCEDES-BENZ FORWARD

Mercedes has seen many ups and downs throughout the century they have been doing business. Innovation has kept Mercedes at the top of the luxury passenger vehicle industry. The company continues to invest in up and coming technologies that will advance the way people get around.

Technological innovation has kept the brand profitable throughout the decades with these cutting-edge developments:

  • Benz, Maybach, and Daimler collaborated to build the first internal combustion engine.
  • Daimler created a honeycomb radiator that cools vehicles and it is still in use today.
  • The float carburetor was invented by Daimler and prolifically found throughout the car industry until fuel injection technology took over.
  • The first road-worthy car with brakes on all the wheels was built in 1924.
  • In 1951, Mercedes-Benz introduced the safety cage with crumple zones added to the rear and front of the car.
  • 1979 brought the first Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) and became commonplace throughout the 1980s.

Customer Feedback

‘My husband has been nagging me to get my Mercedes auto repair complete before we go away on vacation. I did not procrastinate on purpose. The mechanic where we usually take our cars had an accident and is on strict bed rest for the next two months!

In a desperate rush, I dropped it off at Import Car Center because it was closest to our house. It is terrible to admit, but I am never going back to our old mechanic. I discovered he was charging me nearly double for labor in comparison to the Import Car Center.

The customer service is off the charts there. All the guys put on their masks as soon as I entered the shop. I did not have to wait a single moment for service. I am SO impressed with these guys! If you need a Mercedes auto repair (or any auto repair) call them first! You will save money and time! Seriously, these are mechanics are the best in all the great state of Texas!
