Excellent Service provided by Zackery Faley Eventhough my last repair was under warranty and cost me nothing. My husband and I regularly get both of our cars-a 2006 C350 and a 2011 S550 serviced Eventhough my last repair was under warranty and cost me nothing. My husband and I regularly get both of our cars-a 2006 C350 and a 2011 S550 serviced here. I have been coming since 2006. My service advisor now is, Zackery Faley (never had a bad adviser). He is always friendly and professional and extremely knowleageable. He keeps me informed of the work that needs to be done, the projected costs and when the car will be ready. Whether its's scheduled maintenance or an unscheduled issue, Zackery lets me know what to expect. The work is done right the first time and if any problems come up relating to the work, they are immediately taken care of with no questions asked. Zackery always try to get me the best service price with discounts or promotions. I can't think of anything else that can be done to improve this service experience. More

Front Desk Service Attendant (Austin) was not knowledgable I was at your shop 2 Saturdays ago to have my 2012 C250 checked for a 'sluggish starting' problem. I told the front desk service attendant (I believe I was at your shop 2 Saturdays ago to have my 2012 C250 checked for a 'sluggish starting' problem. I told the front desk service attendant (I believe his name was Austin) that the vehicle would probably need a new battery because it failed to start a few days prior. Somehow (and I'm just reflecting backwards at the moment) he must have immediately 'assumed' the battery issue had something to do with the 'sluggish starting' problem. So as we get started, Austin gets into my vehicle, starts up the engine, and listens to the sluggish starting sound. He then proceeded to write up a service ticket for a diagnostic check. One hour later he returns to convey to me that the battery was in fact bad and if I agree to have the battery replaced it would correct the sluggish sound. I said that would be great, and he then proceeded with having the battery replaced. After another one hour wait he returns with a puzzled expression on his face to convey that the battery replacement was completed, however there was now a 'new sound' coming from my engine. Well naturally I soon became very concerned and frankly upset at this development, because I was led to believe that the battery alone was simply bad. He further said that my vehicle was 'elsewhere' at the time and therefore he could not (at that precise moment) check on this 'new sound' that was coming from my engine. Eventually the vehicle was returned to the Pickett Street location (30 minutes later) and when Austin started the engine, to my absolute amazement it turned out to be the exact same problem that I shared with him from the very onset. Meaning I was mistakenly led to believe that a battery replacement would correct the sluggish starting problem. So Austin agreed to 'recheck' the vehicle again (and I'm not sure if a diagnostic test was used for a second time because I wasn't billed for a second diagnostic check).but after another half hour wait, he then returns to convey to me that my timing belt tensioner was bad. When I inquired about how much would it cost to repair the timing belt tensioner, without certainty he replied that said it would probably run about $5,000.00. Right away I became skeptical that repairing a timing belt tensioner would cost that much money, but Austin said that he could provide with an actual cost estimate. Having a lost trust in Austin, I decided not to have him confirm the timing belt tensioner repair estimate. I really felt that he had already wasted 3 hours of my time for something that should have been diagnosed prior to (or at least during) the actual battery replacement. Yes as I was billed, Austin did take off a few dollars for the extended wait time, but overall it was a very unpleasant visit. Cost aside, I was just truly amazed that the timing belt tensioner wasn't diagnosed from the very beginning. Meaning Austin did not correctly or reasonably articulate what the problem 'may have been' on the service ticket after he initially listened to the sound of my engine. Basically Austin had no business listening to my engine at all - especially if he's not trained to provide the actual service technicians with an 'educated assessment' of what the problem could potentially be. Using what was written on the service ticket, it appears that technicians solely relied and trusted on the information Austin provided them.. Meaning the service technicians themselves were also fooled into thinking that all I needed was a battery replacement. Now I'm sure Austin intended on helping me with my car, but he demonstrated 'zero knowledge' on how to accurately diagnose a Mercedes Benz repair issue. The moment he sat inside my vehicle and listened to my engine...I was certain that he was a genuine Mercedes Benz service technician. Not at all the case. Disappointed...Mr. Terry Buggs More
