Mercedes-Benz of Reno

lies, half truths and deception Bought a CPO C300... supposedly all updates performed, etc... well not so.... I discovered several systems that had never been updated and was advised Bought a CPO C300... supposedly all updates performed, etc... well not so.... I discovered several systems that had never been updated and was advised by concierge that update was needed to COMAND to get Mbrace to work... now these are features and options advertised and promised as working and available when I purchased the vehicle... I was charged for labor to update the systems that I had already paid for and were advertised as free for 3 years after purchase... technically true I guess... they didn't charge for the updates, just an astronomical sum for the hour or less of labor... and they had no idea how to update some systems nor what update I was told to get. Left meet right. I am DONE with this poor excuse for a dealership. More

Last M-B I'll ever buy. Sales experience was actually good until Finance failed to disclose certain terms of the prepaid maintenance, like that it can't be canceled or refu Sales experience was actually good until Finance failed to disclose certain terms of the prepaid maintenance, like that it can't be canceled or refunded. Just a material error of $2150... which is a total rip off. Now, a week and a half later, the car sounds like it's shaking apart on cold mornings and squeaks, rattle and clunks. ECO mode shutters when it shuts off the engine and when it restarts... now I know why the salesman put it in Sport+ mode for the test drive... ECO doesn't work in S+. Of course, you have to manually select everything every time you start the car as the technology thinks it's smarter than you are. Mercedes just isn't what it used to be. Won't be keeping the car long, thankfully it's CPO and was relatively cheap.. the financial hit won't be that big. Never again M-B ... overpriced, and not over engineered anymore. Sad learning experience... More

Another bad service review This dealership was unprofessional, inept and extraordinarily rude. The staff does not communicate with one another and I was continually given differ This dealership was unprofessional, inept and extraordinarily rude. The staff does not communicate with one another and I was continually given different information every time I spoke to them. I have been a Mercedes customer for years (in California) and I have never been so mistreated in my life. I highly recommend that you review the multiple negative experiences here on Facebook, Yelp, and The Better Business Bureau (BBB). (Be sure to look at the hidden Yelp reviews too). I hope my review helps others. We were passing through Reno on a Saturday when we had issues with our 2015 Mercedes. We took our car to this dealership and were scheduled and confirmed for 7:45am diagnostics on Monday morning. Brandon called me at 8am Monday to tell me he was running the diagnostics and he would call me back shortly. By 12pm I had not heard from him, so I called back and Brandon rudely told us he had not looked at our car and he wasn't sure if he would even get to it that day. I explained to him that I just needed the diagnostics run (as promised) so I would have a better understanding of how long we might be stuck in Reno for. Brandon rudely repeated he wasn't sure when he could run the diagnostics. I then asked for a loaner vehicle, only to be passed around to three different people, then told Brandon would look for a loaner and call me back. He never called me back. After some time passed, I called the dealership again, explained my frustration that I was scheduled for a 7:45 am diagnostics and now was being told they don't know when they will look at my car. I again asked for a loaner, passed around again, then I asked for the service manager. The service manager, without any hesitation, said they had plenty of loaner vehicles. I made my way to the dealership, picked up my loaner and Brandon again told me he wasn't sure when they would even look at my car. I reminded him I was confirmed for a Monday morning diagnostics, I asked him to please just run the diagnostics so I could make arrangements with a hotel and my work regarding how long I would be stuck in Reno. I tried to explain to Brandon that I understood they would not be able to WORK on my car for repair that day, but I was promised the diagnostics would be run that morning. Brandon refused to confirm when the simple diagnostics would be performed. When I asked what time the dealership closed, Brandon told me to look it up on the website. My experience from there went even more downhill. I would get different statements regarding my car between three different people in the service department. I eventually had to tow it out of Mercedes of Reno. The tow truck driver called me to tell me that this was the most difficult and rude dealership he had ever worked with. They refused to provide one ounce of assistance. He even provided me with a written statement so that I could contact Mercedes North America corporation. Overall, my experience was the worst customer service experience of my life. I would like to again say be very cautious doing business here, look up their hidden reviews, look them up on the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and on Yelp. You will find many unhappy customers all with very similar experiences. It really says a lot when the majority of all the negative experiences are so similar. More

Tom Diefendorf is someone you can count on We purchased a 2012 Mercedes-Benz Certified, which we found on the internet. When we arrived and saw all of the figures, they seemed to change. That i We purchased a 2012 Mercedes-Benz Certified, which we found on the internet. When we arrived and saw all of the figures, they seemed to change. That is when we met Tom Diefendorf, as he patiently walked us through the purchase price as we saw on line, the amount of money they were giving us for our trade-in, and all of the fees associated with the purchase. We felt assured all was correct. The person who did the paperwork was very nice also. We had a question and asked for Tom, only to find out he was washing and vacuuming our car since the young man whose responsibility it was, went home. We appreciated everything Tom helped us with, especially making our car look so good. A week later, we received in the mail a thank you note as well as a Mercedes-Benz First Aid Kit, which Tom said he noticed was missing when he was cleaning our new car. Mercedes-Benz of Reno is lucky to have such a nice man whom we can always count on. More

They even sent the documents to Europe while I was vacationing so that when I came home, all I had to do was pick up my car.

Ken not only returned my call within 15 minutes, he answered all my questions, went to the back 40 to check the car and answer my questions. We set an appointment and bought the car. Quick and easy. I was impressed with the Ken and the attention he paid us, even though the car was used. I was a bit disappointed in their warranty and return policy but over all a great experience. More
