About Us

Steve began his career as a mechanic over 30 years ago in the early 1990s, joining Mercedes Road Range in 1994 and qualifying as a Mercedes‑Benz technician in 1999.

Throughout his career, he has worked exclusively on Mercedes‑Benz vehicles, giving him an exceptional depth of brand‑specific knowledge that few independent specialists can match.

He progressed to Service Team Manager in 2004, a role that strengthened not only his technical expertise but also his understanding of customer service, communication, and the importance of delivering a complete, reassuring experience for every driver. During this time, he completed numerous specialist Mercedes‑Benz training courses in both the UK and Germany, and in 2007 achieved the internationally recognised C‑Service qualification.

In 2009, Steve combined his extensive Mercedes‑Benz expertise with Rob Stead to establish MB‑Wirral — a business built on specialist knowledge, high standards, and a genuine commitment to customer care.

Outside of work, Steve enjoys travelling abroad whenever he gets the chance

Dave brings over 20 years of experience in the motor trade, including many years with Mercedes‑Benz. He was part of the Wirral Mercedes team in West Kirby until its closure in 2009, after which he continued to build his expertise at a local garage before returning to Mercedes‑Benz, Liverpool.

In 2018, Dave joined the team at MB‑Wirral. During his time with Mercedes‑Benz, he gained several specialist qualifications, giving him extensive knowledge of Mercedes parts, components, and systems.

As our Office Manager, Dave is often the first person you’ll meet when you visit, and he genuinely enjoys the customer‑facing side of his role — helping with vehicle queries and getting to know both new and returning customers.

Outside of work, Dave enjoys travelling and spending time with his two children.

Dan began his career in the motor trade in 1994, starting with an apprenticeship at Grange Motors.

Since then, he has built extensive experience across the industry, including serving as a Vehicle Mechanic Class 2 in the Royal Marines and working as an AA Patrol Technician before joining MB- Wirral in 2020.

He achieved his NVQ Level 3 qualification in 1998 and has continued to develop his technical knowledge throughout his career. With a particular passion for vehicle diagnostics, he brings experience, knowledge, and professionalism to the team.

Outside of work, Dan enjoys keeping active through fitness and hiking.

Liam began his career in 2006 at Westbourne Motors and quickly distinguished himself, earning ‘Apprentice of the Year’ in 2014 while completing his Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship. That same year, he was also honoured with the ‘Freeman and Guilds of the City of Chester Award’, recognising both his technical ability and commitment to the trade.

He went on to build extensive hands on experience working across a wide range of vehicles, broadening his technical skill set before joining the MB-Wirral team in 2021. Liam’s broad technical background complements the team and contributes to the high quality of service we deliver.

Outside of work, Liam volunteers as a crew member for West Kirby Lifeboats, where he also serves as the station mechanic and launch vehicle driver.

James began his career in the motor trade in 2017 and has built a strong background across several areas of the industry. His previous roles include working as a damage estimator for insurance repairs, technician at Ford, and mechanic at Birkenhead Van Hire before joining our team in 2022 as a Technician.

He holds MET Level 3 and NVQ Level 3 qualifications in Accident Repair, alongside a range of additional industry certifications.

James is passionate about all things automotive and anything involving an engine. Outside of work, he spends his time mountain biking, attending car rallies, and taking his own car out on the track.

Josh joined MB-Wirral in July 2021 to begin his career in the motor trade, starting his apprenticeship with us. In just five years, he has already achieved his NVQ Level 2 in Automotive Care and continues to build his skills every day. Working exclusively on Mercedes-Benz vehicles from the very start of his career means he is developing brand-specific knowledge early, laying the foundations for strong specialist expertise.

Josh enjoys the gym, playing rugby and visiting car shows in his spare time.
