Membership

Hello and welcome to the membership page of the Toronto Section of the Mercedes-Benz Club of America. This is an overview of the benefits of becoming a member and how to become a member.

The Mercedes-Benz Club of America started 50 years ago in New Jersey and has since grown to 85 sections in the United States and Canada with up to 35,000 members.

The Toronto Section was formed in the 80s and has peaked at close to 200 members. Our section welcomes all enthusiasts of Mercedes-Benz vehicles and you don't have to own one to be a member. It is the passion for these machines and good friendship that hold our group together and whether you enjoy the technical aspects of vehicle maintenance, driving events, admiring the design and engineering or just participating in social events, the club has functions for all tastes.

Your annual dues will entitle you to many benefits both on a local and national scale. Some of the benefits include;

• Six big issues of the full color, glossy, award winning magazine "The Star"
• Local Section Events (Technical, Driving, Social)
• National events and conventions
• Receive the local award-winning section newsletter "The Maple Leaf Star"
• Free classified ads in "The Star", "The Maple Leaf Star" and on this website
• Free technical advice
• Vintage reprints
• Club store
• New Mercedes-Benz vehicle raffle
• Discount car rentals
• MBCA Club Forum including Special interest groups

Most of our events take place within the GTA and Southern Ontario but you do not have to be within these boundaries to join. We have members as far away as Switzerland.

Looking for that great pre-owned Mercedes? or maybe you have a Mercedes to sell. One of the great benefits of membership is the free classified ads. You can place ads for your vehicle in our local award-winning newsletter "The Maple Leaf Star" which gets delivered to all our section members; you can place an ad in the national magazine "The Star" and reach more than 20,000 members, you can place an ad on this website and be exposed to the whole world. Best of all you can do all three for free and greatly increase your chance of finding the right buyer or the right vehicle.



The club is a completely not-for-profit organization entirely run by volunteers whose reward is the satisfaction, team work and appreciation from other members. The club's executive board is always looking for volunteers to join in the fun of putting on events, administrative functions, printable content and newsletter and webpage production. If you have a skill, or would like to develop a skill, and lasting friendships then contact a board member and let them know how you can help out.

So whether you are restoring a vintage car, preserving a 100-point show car, drive a trustworthy diesel or a brand new AMG, joining the club can enhance your ownership of these fine automobiles and bring you together with other fine people who admire automotive excellence.

Already a member and know of someone who should become a member? Just contact our current membership chair and they can send applications and sample magazines to the contacts you provide. You will get full credit towards our membership drive which can earn you rewards. Every new member counts. So start recruiting today.
