How it works without a local desk

MAS does not list a location in Munich or Garmisch. You start with us on WhatsApp or the quote form, we handle the quote, paperwork and timing, and you visit a MAS location only if one is actually needed. The nearest MAS desks listed are in the Grafenwöhr, Vilseck and Hohenfels area and in Stuttgart.

  1. Eligibility and shortlist. Confirm you qualify and pick from stock or a factory build.
  2. No-haggle quote. Tax-free military pricing, always below US MSRP, with published incentives, in writing.
