AMG Factory Visit Pictures

Many thanks for the thread and the photo's. I was also very impressed with the factory tour when i picked up my S-Class a couple of years ago, no flag though must send them an email about that :)
 
Nice write up and the flag is such a great way of showing your business matters to them...:thumb:
 
Fantastic write up and pics. Its amazing to think of the consideration and effort they put into welcoming people. They've got the perfect attitude to appreciating the people who buy their kit and pay their wages. Shame the UK is so far behind in these basics. Its a very simple and effective piece of marketing and psychology, and I think more organisations would be a lot better off applying it to their business.
 
Excellent write up and photos!

Interesting that you mention about the hand stitched dash... :devil:

My C63 was ordered with this option, and was finished last Monday. I am due to collect my car next Thursday from the factory, MB Personal Collection tickets all booked by MB UK and looking forward to it.............. until this morning.

Phone call from MB stating that the car is ready, but it now needs to be transported to the AMG factory for the dash to be removed the the hand stiched one fitted... the problem is the MB computer system does not incorporate this into the delivery date it shows, so now I have to wait another 8 weeks for the car :( :eek:

So Palmball, if you also have the designo dash option be prepared to wait another 8 weeks after the MB confirmed delivery date you have been given!!!

MB have now agreed an extra discount on my car and a suitable loan car for 8 weeks until mine is 100% finished. :D

Oh you've got to be kidding. There was no mention of this when I visited them :devil: and I made it very clear that I was having the Designo dash option!

8 weeks is a ridiculous amount of time to wait to have that done - they don't even cover the lower half of the dash!

TBH, my dealer have given me a new E250 until my car comes but it's not the same as having your own car! This is a disaster!

Thanks, very nice thread, especially pic 2 with the pre-facelift 202 like mine !!! :D
 
That pearl white paint on the SL is stunning, and 6 pipes aside the whole car looks pretty restrained for a ME special. I love the AMG mindset, like you say does a lot for brand loyalty. Has anyone here had any involvement with Aston's Works department? I assume there are quite a lot of similarities, would be nice to see a comparison.

Good to know I can drop them a line with my chassis number and get the same treatment, trouble is I'd be too tempted to start asking them prices for some tweaking :D

I must have words with my boss, I don't think they're paying me enough :thumb:

Fantastic write-up, thanks for sharing; looking forward to seeing your finished example.
