Who are SLSHOP?

Mercedes-Benz cars were always in my blood. First, as a toddler helping my father repair Pagodas, 108’s and 111’s. Then, as a teenager buying and selling classics. And also as a hobby business while on the corporate wheel.

In 2006, the SLSHOP was born. Recently, we’ve turned a passion for SL’s into a thriving, passionate business. As of now, over 15,000 customers have bought a car, serviced or restored their car, or bought a part from us.

I’m fortunate to work with an amazingly talented group of hard-working people, dedicated to all things SL. And what happens when you empower a great team to deliver? Well, you foster amazing results and attract loyal customers. Customers that become lifelong friends. Customers that turn to us for advice and support. And customers who form a community.
Ultimately, our business is dedicated to you. We want you to Drive more, See more & Do more with your SL. Stop dreaming about it. Stop putting it of. Worry less about it, leave the SUV at home…
Life is short… Put miles on it!
