Carl Benz is awarded German patent for a three-wheeled, self-propelled "Motorwagen". With a rear-mounted single-cylinder engine, the first automobile forever changes the way people move & sparks a legavy of innovation that continues to this day.

The first Mercedes generated great excitement. It is a powerful, lightweight vehicle which stands out from previously built cars. This is now considered the first modern automobile

A corporate journey taken by Mercedes-Bez began on 30^th July 1958 with the creation of Mercedes-Benz Australia Pty Ltd by Germany's Daimler Benz AG & Australia's Standard Motor Products.

A new Mercedes-Benz dealership called Central Star Mercedes-Benz opened in 1959 & was located in Dandenong.

Neville Bertalli from Patterson Cheney Group purchased Central Star Mercedes-Benz & relocated the business to the Cheltenham Road, Dandenong premises.

Central Star Mercedes-Benz acquires light commercial vehicle franchise in Dandenong & later opens the franchise in Ferntree Gully called Knox Star. This was later relocated to Bayswater.

Central Star Mercedes-Benz relocates to Berwick & is renamed Central Star Autohaus. It is the first Mercedes-Benz dealership to be designed from the ground up utilising the "Auto Haus Concept" representing the future of Mercedes-Benz.

Knox Star Mercedes-Benz & Central Star Mercedes-Benz combine at one location in Berwick. The dealership name officially changes to Mercedes-Benz Berwick.

Patterson Cheney Group brings in a new partner, Craig Howard & officially becomes a proud Australian family-owned & operated business. This monumental chapter transformed the business to what it is today.
