Broken agreement to sell auto - Internet Sale After negotiation in email and text the dealership and I agreed on purchase price and shipping details. I agreed to wire full amount of purchase the After negotiation in email and text the dealership and I agreed on purchase price and shipping details. I agreed to wire full amount of purchase the next morning. About two hours later I received a text from the salesman informing me the vehicle had been sold. I contacted th "Sales Manager" Dustin Khale and was told despite all of our correspondence in email and text we didn't really have any agreement. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS BUSINESS! (I actually can't believe this would ever happen with a Mercedes dealership) More
Wonderful dealership. Everyone at MB Catonsville is wonderful. I had a GL and took it there for service and car washes. Never had a bad experience. I just bought a new G Everyone at MB Catonsville is wonderful. I had a GL and took it there for service and car washes. Never had a bad experience. I just bought a new GLE from them and it was wonderful. Never thought I would say that about purchasing a car. They took care of everything, it was painless, and enjoyable! Josh Pomles is the best - and so is Michael and Sam. More

Poor Business Ethics My car buying experience with Mercedes-Benz of Catonsville was the absolute worst. I’ve never in my life experienced such bad customer service and ba My car buying experience with Mercedes-Benz of Catonsville was the absolute worst. I’ve never in my life experienced such bad customer service and bad business from a General Manager. First, I brought a 2014 Certified Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz E350 Coupe 4Matic from Mercedes-Benz (MB) of Catonsville on a Wednesday, February 24, 2016. Thursday night, the brake light came on while I was driving and immediately after the message indicator came on saying to check the brake fluid level. Upon doing so, I found out that there was NO brake fluid in the car at all (I had to buy and put the brake fluid in myself) – clearly this car missed the certified inspection but was sold a certified vehicle. Second, I learned that MB of Catonsville improperly forced the sale of an Extended Warranty onto my contract. According to my Attorney, MB of Catonsville violated Maryland Regulations Laws by telling me that they were able to lower my interest rate by adding an Extended Warranty. As of a result of these matters, I sent a total of 5 emails (in a 1 week period) to the General Manager, Samuel Somarriba, informing him of my experiences. Out of 5 emails, I got 2 responses from him – not addressing either issue. His 1st email response regarding the brake fluid – he thanked me for the email and said that we’ll be in-touch (I never heard back from him). His 2nd email response regarding the Extended Warranty was that he wanted to meet in person to discuss the matter and that he was committed to my 100% satisfaction. On March 1, I sent my 3rd email to inform Mr. Somarriba of my schedule and to also get his availability because I wanted to make sure we would have the time to chat – I received No response. The next day, I sent my 4th email to Mr. Somarriba reminding him that I was still waiting for his response from the day before and that I was very interested in resolving all issues because so far experience with this entire ordeal was becoming redundant, frustrating, unpleasant and unnecessarily stressful – still I received No response. The same day of my 4th email (now day 5 with no car) I called MBUSA Customer Care to describe my experience, dissatisfaction and overall frustration – they listened (didn’t offer any solution), contacted Samuel Somarriba (leaving him a voicemail message) and reassured me that I would receive a phone call from them the following day. No call back. Day 7, with no car and no response from Samuel Somarriba or MBUSA, I sent my 5th and final email to Mr. Somarriba informing him that I was no longer interested in completing my business with MB of Catonsville and that I would be cancelling my contract with his dealership. I got an immediate response from him, saying that he was fine with my decision. Go figure! With my cancelling the contract, I’m sure he felt like now he didn’t have to be accountable for his non-compliance as a General Manager - the AWFUL service, the brake fluid level, the improper handling of the extended warranty – NOTHING!! Note to Jim Koons and Mercedes-Benz USA: Samuel Somarriba, General Manager of Mercedes-Benz of Catonsville should be REEVALUATED and be made to go through extensive diversity and customer service training. His customer service, professionalism and leadership is BELOW ZERO and extremely unacceptable and insulting. My sales representative, Garen Tuniev, was great. He was caught in the middle but he did a great job with keeping me informed. After all of that, I am a happy Mercedes-Benz owner – I brought the same car (different color) from Mercedes-Benz of Owings Mill. The customer service there was fantastic. Thank you for Owings Mills!! More
Service I had my C300 serviced and when I received my C300 back, my trunk light lens was broken. It was not broken when I took my C300 in for service. When I I had my C300 serviced and when I received my C300 back, my trunk light lens was broken. It was not broken when I took my C300 in for service. When I went back to inquire about the lens cover I was told that my trunk was never opened. Additional service was to replace the left license plate bulb that was out. The trunk had to be opened to replace the license plate bulb, because of the position of the screws on the trunk door. They wanted me to purchase a new lens cover . I wouldn't care of purchasing a new cover if I had broken it off. But it was done by the mechanic who replaced the the new bulb. This was not my first mercedes, but this dealership's prices are higher than other mercedes dealers and they do not own to their mistakes. My servicer will be taken to another dealer. I love my C300 though! Koons need to stick with regular cars! More

The carfax report lied the car I bought has an accident. I bought the 2008 Mini Cooper s from this dealership and I had an carfax report and according to the report the car had no accident but when I change I bought the 2008 Mini Cooper s from this dealership and I had an carfax report and according to the report the car had no accident but when I change my insurance they told me that this car had a previous accident claim. That's mean that you cannot trust this dealership. i bought the vehicle on 2013 and had a previous accident last 2012 and just know the situation when I change my car insurance this November 2015. Beware of their scam. More
Lease Experience My daughter and son-in-law took me to this dealership, and I have been more than pleased. I am telling all my friends, business associates, and family My daughter and son-in-law took me to this dealership, and I have been more than pleased. I am telling all my friends, business associates, and family about the great customer service I have experienced. My consultant, Dennis Epps, carefully explained the attributes of the GLK 350. Mr. Epps took me for a ride, describing the features of the SUV. Then I drove what I soon discovered was pure luxury. This is my second lease and I am loving the ride. More
The dealership has me for life I stopped in to have my car serviced when I saw the new C300 in the showroom. After finalizing my paperwork for the service Steve walked over casually I stopped in to have my car serviced when I saw the new C300 in the showroom. After finalizing my paperwork for the service Steve walked over casually asked if I wanted any more information - he ensured he wasn't interrupting anything and was extremely respectful. As I found out throughout the rest of the day his level of professionalism and overall demeanor is what companies should strive to have. I've never felt so comfortable while talking to a "sales person" in my life. I didn't have a single question left unanswered, objection or feeling of haste throughout the process from start to finish. After some back and forth with Financing, I was slid a paper with "You win!" handwritten at the top. This is one of the few times that I actually felt the way it was presented. After this, a few handshakes and some paperwork I was introduced to Juliana who walked over with enthusiasm and an iPad. She flipped through the technology included in the car, asking if I had any questions about any of it. If I did, she would check the box and I would be sent more information / details. Nice to have for the future if needed. She also ensured I didn't have any questions before I drove my new car off the lot. Overall, extremely pleasant (and to be honest: impressive) experience that will resonate with me for years. They've earned my business for life. Bottom line: I know that they're never going to give me the run around or desert me when I reach out with a question. I don't think they'll ever let me down, nor will I ever have to say goodbye. More
