What Rygor Auto does

Rygor Auto is the passenger car aftersales division of Rygor Group, an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer network operating 16 sites across England and Wales. The company is claimed to be the UK's largest Mercedes-Benz van, aftersales, and truck dealer, employing 556 staff as of April 2025. Its core offering centers on authorized servicing, MOT testing, and repairs for Mercedes-Benz passenger vehicles, executed by factory-trained technicians using Mercedes-Benz STAR diagnostics and genuine OEM parts. The business is headquartered in Westbury, Wiltshire, with flagship passenger car aftersales facilities in Heathrow (18 ramps including MOT bay and four-wheel alignment bay) and Gloucester.

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: transactional servicing (Service A and B), MOT testing, genuine parts sales (including via the Rygor eParts online store), used vehicle sales, premium detailing (£399–£1,250 across four tiers), and recurring ServiceCare subscription plans starting from £39/month. The customer base spans individual Mercedes-Benz owners, chauffeur and taxi operators (especially around Heathrow), commercial fleet operators, and Mercedes-AMG enthusiasts. The Rygor Diamond Programme addresses the older-vehicle (3+ years) segment with fixed-price servicing. Distribution channels include physical dealerships, online booking, phone reservations, mobile servicing, and collection/delivery service.

Ownership is private following a 2024 Management Buyout led by Managing Director John Keogh. The group has expanded beyond the Mercedes-Benz franchise into adjacent construction equipment dealerships (Dieci, Hyundai Construction Equipment) under the Rygor Plant brand. The company has won multiple industry awards including Employer of the Year and New Dealership of the Year at the Motor Trader Industry Awards 2025, and holds four consecutive years of Great Place to Work certification.
