Mercedes-Benz of Houston North

My wife and I had the best car buying experience ever! Our salesman, Mike Stahl was very informative and paid close attention to what was important to us. Mike's manager Pete Pieternelle introduced himsel Our salesman, Mike Stahl was very informative and paid close attention to what was important to us. Mike's manager Pete Pieternelle introduced himself shortly after we arrived and assured us that this would be a great experience and it defiantly was. Choosing a vehicle and financing it was very easy to do. Our finance person was Stephanie, she explained everything very well and got us a very low interest rate. Before we left the dealership we were shown and introduced to the Service Department. Our service advisor's name is Shawn and he was very nice and friendly too. If you want to go somewhere and be treated fairly with respect and no hassle, go to Mercedes Benz of Houston North! More

I had bought a certified used vehicle from this dealership in February of 2008. I kept the car under mint condition with their service recommendations. On Dec 26th 2010 i received a message in th dealership in February of 2008. I kept the car under mint condition with their service recommendations. On Dec 26th 2010 i received a message in the car saying Reduced Braking Power. On 27th and 28th of December they 'worked' on my car. They fixed the SBC pump, replaced brakes and roters, and also fixed a oil leak. On 28th after I sign the paper work and leave the dealership, the car catches on fire and gets totaled. Till today, this $%^$&#* dealership or mercedes benz corporate owned up to the responsibility of that their work caused the car to catch on fire. DO NOT BUY YOUR NEXT CAR FROM THESE PEOPLE!!! VERY EAGER TO SELL, NOT EAGER TO FOLLOW UP!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T BUY YOUR CAR FROM THESE PEOPLE!!! YOU'LL GET SCREWED!!! More

My first experience with this dealer has been very good, especially dealing with Cesar Tijerina in the service department. They did everything on time and as promised. I can only hope that my relationship w especially dealing with Cesar Tijerina in the service department. They did everything on time and as promised. I can only hope that my relationship with this dealer stays this good, and I would recommend MB North to anyone at this time. More

Saw online ad for a Gl450. Drove 45mins to see it in person and once we sat down to discuss prices, they were like that online ad was a pricing error and that they could not sell it for that price (even person and once we sat down to discuss prices, they were like that online ad was a pricing error and that they could not sell it for that price (even after having called the sales guy to confirm the price before we left the house) Worst MB dealership in the Houston area. Go to Arod or MB of Sugarland and stay away from these Autonation chains. Their quoted prices changes depending on time, temperature and current weather conditions. More

I tried to purchase a pre-owned car from this dealership. My experience was absolutely terrible! I found the car online and visited to see in person and then discuss price. I tried to negitiate the price how My experience was absolutely terrible! I found the car online and visited to see in person and then discuss price. I tried to negitiate the price however they would not budge from the list price which was $2,400 higher than Kelly Blue Book Certified Car Price. They basically refused to budge off of the list price. I tried again to offer a higher price and they would not budge. They informed me that someone else was ready to buy the car for list price so I left. Recieved a call later stating that the deal fell through so I ask them about the price. Sales person informed me that the list price was several thousand below what the price should have been and they had changed it to the "right" price. Heres the good parrt... However since I had seen the old list price online his manager was willing to accept the old list price. How absurd and insulting! I will never do business with Mercedes North and will advise all friends/family to stay away from this corrupt dealership. I have to say I expected more from a Mercedes dealership. I have worked with Lexus in the past and had a very professional and curteous experience. I am happy to say I found the same car with another dealer out of state. I will be picking up my car this week AND saved $3,400. More

Purchased a brand new car, paid cash via a bank transfer. Salesperson requested my social security number. I refused and then he mentioned it's only to register the vehicle with Texas DOT. So in order to Salesperson requested my social security number. I refused and then he mentioned it's only to register the vehicle with Texas DOT. So in order to get over the paperwork I gave them my SSN. Later found out they ran a credit report under false pretense. Called manager who said it was an autonation policy to run credit report even for those paying cash. They never agreed to make a note on my credit files that they pulled without permission. Use another dealer, these autonation dealers are now too big and only care about the sale... More

Came from out of town to purchase a new E-Class Coupe because of this dealer's willingness to make a good deal. Because of what I wanted, we had to order the car from Germany and it arrived in about 2 m because of this dealer's willingness to make a good deal. Because of what I wanted, we had to order the car from Germany and it arrived in about 2 months time. We did the deal over the phone and email. They helped me work through getting a USAA discount. They very clearly spelled out the invoice price on the car, the MSRP and the price they wanted for the car, which was in line with what my internet research indicated. They were willing to trade my 10 year old vehicle and agreed to a price site unseen to them that was in line with a trade-in value indicated by Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds. On arrival at the dealership, everything was ready to go. No change or haggling on the agreed price; they looked at my trade-in and gave me the agreed to price. They found a lender in Houston that matched a lender that I had lined up in my home town, so I am going with their lender. The paper signing was all computerized and easy to go with. The vehicle checkout went well and gave a good overview of the vehicle's features. This was probably the easiest car buying experience that I have had. I felt good coming out of the dealer because everything was pre-agreed to so I didn't have to wonder after I left if I had made some mistake in the deal. I recommend this dealership without reservation. More

This dealership is AWFUL!!!!! I spoke to one of the salesmen over the phone over a period of three days to get a quote on a new car. He gave me a quote and we finally came to an agreement over the phon salesmen over the phone over a period of three days to get a quote on a new car. He gave me a quote and we finally came to an agreement over the phone. I told him that I would be traveling from out of town to purchase the vehicle so I was coming to pick up the car and I didn't want to waste my time. I took a day off work and notified him that I would be coming to fill out paper work and purchase the vehicle on the terms we had agreed on. When I arrived, we discussed pricing a little more for a while and was in the process of further negotiating. He indicated that the agreed upon price was the best he could offer and that he could not go any lower. We calculated tax, title and license costs to figure the total drive out figures. After I agreed, I asked him to print out the paperwork because I was ready to purchase and I didn't want to deal with any other hassles. The salesman then proceeded to type in a few calculations in his calculator and then told me "This is the best we can offer you (a price that was WELL ABOVE what we had just discussed only seconds ago and for the last few days). I literally thought he was joking because it sounded so ridiculous. I questioned him about the previous quote he had given me and he told me "Oh, I never said I agreed to it..." The situation was completely ridiculous and laughable. I got up and left the dealership. He wasted my time and my entire day. Needless to say, I did not purchase the car from them nor will I ever. They are COMPLETELY DISHONEST and will lure you into the dealership by quoting you low prices, but they will never go through with the deal. AVOID THIS DEALERSHIP AT ALL COSTS! More

This story should stop anyone from ever purchasing anything from this dealership, EVER!! I bought a Used car from what I thought was a reputable dealer. I actually had a car almost bought from a anything from this dealership, EVER!! I bought a Used car from what I thought was a reputable dealer. I actually had a car almost bought from a private seller for $700 less, the exact model, same mileage, same color, same options but felt I would have a better experience buying from what I thought was an established, reputable dealer!! I could not have been more wrong. When I test drove the car, dash lights for the ABS and Traction Control systems were on. The salesman assured me that he would have it repaired at the Porsche dealership so I made the deal hinging on them having this issue corrected. When I picked up the car later that day, the lights were off, but to my great disappointment, later that night the lights came on again so it was back to Mercedes the next morning to have them repaired. They kept my car 2 days and then advised me that I would need to make an appointment at the Porcshe dealer next week and they would take care of it. Not the way I would have liked for it ot be handled but we went ahead and made the appointment for the next week. My car was at Porsche for 4-5 days before the problem was diagnosed with very little feedback from Mercedes unless I prompted them. Here comes the good part, the repair was quoted as costing ~$4700 so Mercedes flat out refused to pay it and then went on to suggest that I buy an extended warranty and they would throw in $1000. So now they wanted to me to buy the warranty, knowing this pre-existing issue was there, wait 30 days and file a claim!! High integrity sales staff!! Naturally, I refused to do so and told them I wanted my car repaired or my money back. This took another 2 weeks to resolve with again much prompting and ultimatums on our part and very little effort on theirs. It took about 2 more weeks to repair it and now there has been another problem found with the dash. This was discovered 10 days ago with still no repair completed. Every day, when I call them, they say it could be ready tomorrow when the Porsche dealership has informed me that the dash part will take 10-14 days to deliver. Again, no effort on their part to keep me informed, or tell me the truth. I have never been involved with a more unethical group of people in my life. I hold a senior leadership position with a Fortune 500 company and if I ever treated my coworkers, clients or contractors in this fashion, I would be fired!! Last straw was my husband and I visiting the dealership on June 27th to demand on money back. Well, the lies continued, the Used Car Manager would not come out of his office to speak with us and the General Manager would not return our phone calls. The most frustrating part of this whole mess is the arrogant manner in which the Mercededs staff has been in communications. They act like they are doing me a favor in providing me the car I agreed to purchase 10 weeks ago!! Coupled with the lack of management involvement and the inability to return a call or address something head on has caused this to us now pursue legal action against the dealership. Please don't patronize this dealership. More

The service took three visits to complete because of parts for this car not being in stock or even in the country. This is unacceptable. This is for an SLK55AMG. 1. I took car in for Service A and a parts for this car not being in stock or even in the country. This is unacceptable. This is for an SLK55AMG. 1. I took car in for Service A and a leak in the trunk (among other things). The leak was not fixed because the entire rear window had to be replaced to fix this problem. The window/weather-stripping assembly had to be sent from Germany. I was promised the parts would be there in three days. I picked up the car after the three days without the arrival of the part. When I did pick up the car, it was sitting in an UNCOVERED parking place in the rain. I don’t think a car with a water leak in the trunk should have been parked in uncovered parking, especially when it had been raining torrents every day for a week. 2. Finally I was notified that the window had arrived and I took the car in for that. At that time, another water leak had developed with the driver side window weather-stripping. I was told that the weather-stripping was unavailable and it, too, had to be thrown into the Atlantic ocean for its trek across. I picked up the car the same day and noticed they had not replaced the window tint that was on the original window. Since I had to come back for the window weather-stripping replacement, I told them they could do it at that time. I was told that the weather-stripping for the driver’s window would be there in a couple of days. 3. After close to three weeks of waiting, I finally called the service advisor and told him that I was glad that I hadn’t left my car there all this time waiting for the parts to arrive. Driving the wimpy C230 for that length of time would have driven me crazy, by the way. Fortunately rentals are "free". He informed me that he told someone to call me and that the parts had been there for some time. No one called me. 4. All this originated from the Service A. Remember, I had been there three separate times. I figured that when all was completed and closed out that I would have received the invoice for the original Service A. That did not happen either. I actually thought (well, hoped, anyway) that the $183 charge for the Service A had been “comped” because of the way things had been handled (all the waiting for parts, etc.), but that was not the case. Several days later the cashier called and wanted payment for which I provided my credit card. More
