We appreciate hearing from our customers, as their comments only help us to improve. The issue that you have referred to has been brought to management’s attention. We apologize for any inconvenience that the circumstances may have caused you. You will be contacted once your issue has been further reviewed. Once again, we thank you and value your input. Sincerely, Crown Eurocars ________________________________________ (Reviewer has read this message) Crown Eurocars wrote on 6/10/2010 11:58:50 AM: Dear chewbaka1973, Thank you for your review. While I was disappointed with the comments I do appreciate the opportunity to discuss it with you, to understand what happened that day, to investigate and make corrections so it does not happen again. The pre-purchase inspection was done on May 7th on the 2003 Mercedes Benz, which at the time had 89,195 miles on it. In the process of the inspection the technician, using a form, went through a 34- point inspection to provide you with the input you received. The form was given to you with that explanation. The warranty history was pulled on the vehicle having gone into service on February 20, 2003, and appeared to have had its last warranty repairs at 49,400 miles, although a catalytic converter action took place at 73,408 miles. There were no other apparent records showing any services with the vehicle. As you discovered, the inspection did reflect everything that was currently inoperative or needed immediate attention at that time. The brakes in the front and rear were ample as you were told. I did completely investigate what happened, and found that the technician that recommended rear brake pads did not properly observe the thickness of the brake pads. In doing so he varied from our process. The service process is in place to insure that such things do not happen. As a result of the actions of one of our employees we are at fault and we take full responsibility for the mistake in representing you should replace your rear brake pads. We are thankful you questioned those recommendations based on the inspection report two weeks earlier. Since in that dialogue we recommended brakes, if rear pads had been needed given the age of the rotors, rotor replacement would have been necessary. The inspection report was to identify things needing immediate replacement or service. The Service A performed included more than an oil change. Given the age and mileage of the vehicle the other recommendations for fluid changes was and is valid, considering the lack of proof of prior replacement and the condition of those fluids. While not dangerous, this was a good recommendation, and it was represented to you as such at that time. The Service A inspection is an in-depth process and is recommended in service scheduling per the manufacturers, Mercedes-Benz guidelines. In your comments you characterized a conversation you had with our Service Manager Frank Caporicci. You state “they told me I would then be eligible for a discount when I decided to do it”. In fact Frank said he would take care of it. While it may seem vague to you, he was saying we would pay for it. As a gesture of goodwill we would like to reiterate, when you need your rear brake pads and rotors replaced we will pay for it. Furthermore, if you would feel more comfortable, we would be happy to provide you with the rear brake pads and rotors in a box now for installation later. If you would like them replaced by us in the future we will install the brake pads and rotors at no cost to you. If you still feel uncomfortable bringing your car to us, you could have someone else install the pads and rotors at your expense, but the parts, pads, and rotors themselves would have been complimentary from us. We have taken disciplinary actions towards the employee in question. All of our service employees know about your review and we will also discuss this response with them. As I said this employee varied from the process and this problem resulted. We do not condone this behavior; in fact we will not have it. We do not recommend work that is not needed. I sincerely hope that you feel we are being thoughtful, fair and transparent in our response to you. We do care about you as a customer and would like to see your Mercedes Benz experience start on a more satisfying note. If I can discuss this with you in person we would be most appreciative. My direct line is (727)329-3071.
