MAHLE shifts to direct sales of workshop equipment in UK, adds local stock and mobile support
MAHLE will for the first time sell workshop equipment directly through its UK Aftermarket sales team, offering a single point of contact and on-site support from a dedicated field engineer.
- over 15,000
- 2009
What Happened
MAHLE has announced a direct sales approach for its workshop equipment in the UK, integrating it into its existing Aftermarket organization. Customers now work directly with the aftermarket sales team for product enquiries, quotations, technical advice, and support, replacing a separate company structure. This provides a single point of contact and strengthens MAHLE's relationship with workshops and distribution partners.
Local stock held at MAHLE's Bilston facility, which has supplied over 15,000 product references since 2009, ensures greater product availability and reduces lead times. A dedicated field engineer and MAHLE service van provide on-site installation, technical support, live demonstrations, and product training directly at customer workshops, eliminating travel time and minimizing disruption.

- Transmission oil service equipment
- Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) calibration machines
- Diagnostic tools
“The UK market is an important growth area for MAHLE Service Solutions. By combining direct sales, local availability and on-site technical support, we are making it easier for workshops to access the products, expertise and training they need to succeed.”
Previously from MAHLE GmbH
MAHLE recently co-developed a sensor testing application for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) with Rohde & Schwarz, enabling reliable testing after repairs. The company now offers ADAS calibration machines as part of its UK workshop equipment range, directly sold and supported.

Why this matters
This move simplifies purchasing and support for UK workshops, reducing lead times through local stock at the Bilston warehouse and providing on-site training. It deepens MAHLE's commitment to the UK aftermarket, benefiting independent repair shops and technicians.
