Helms Bros., Inc.

I have just completed the purchase of a CPO ML-350 from Helms Brothers Mercedes Benz. This is the second purchase I have made from Helms in the past 6 months. Their service, quality of vehicle and pricing Helms Brothers Mercedes Benz. This is the second purchase I have made from Helms in the past 6 months. Their service, quality of vehicle and pricing are the best I could possibly find anywhere (I travelled from Princeton New Jersey both times to complete the purchases). From the moment you walk into their freshly renovated showroom you understand that their attention to detail is unparalled. There is also no need to waste ,your time on endless negotiations as their price is right up front, mitigating the need for protracted debate and visits to "see my manager". Also, they only stock absolutely first class used cars. I couldnt find a vehicle over 3 years old with more than 30,000 miles on the lot. Both of my recent purchases have been CPO cars from Helms and my neighbors can not believe that they are not new cars. In closing, i would say that no matter how far the trip, getting to Helms is definitely worth it. More

I recently purchased an ML 350 at you Bayside showroom, and I would like to bring to your attention the caliber of several employees that I had the pleasure of dealing with. In the past, I have made my Mer and I would like to bring to your attention the caliber of several employees that I had the pleasure of dealing with. In the past, I have made my Mercedes Benz purchases at Silver Star, but that is just that, in the past, for the most part, because of your employees. First and foremost, Mr. Michael Nekava is a phenomenal sales associate, and he will be mine for life. His attention to detail is astounding. He truly made me feel at home the minute I walked through the door. He stood by me throughout the purchase, and even has stayed in touch after the sale to ensure my happiness. To this day he is still in contact to ensure my happiness, and letting me know of current deals and incentives. Needless to say, my parents and cousin are currently working with him to get into a new Mercedes. Mikey truly is now part of our family. I also had the pleasure of dealing with Ms. Jennifer Lang who appraised my vehicle and made certain that I was taken care of when I was at the showroom during the vehicle purchase process. A straight shooter if I ever saw one. Her kindness and persona are only rivaled by her professionalism and work ethic. She truly is an asset to your dealership, and a diamond in the rut. She has an uncanny knack for keeping all the xxxxx in the air and getting the job done right the first time. My best interest was now handed over to Mr. John Kunz, who impressed me from the moment he entered the room. His intense attention to customer satisfaction enhanced my purchasing experience and totally made me feel like part of the Helms family. He was relentless in the pursuit of my happiness and making sure I was completely happy with my vehicle. He went over that ML with a fine tooth comb to ensure my satisfaction. His professionalism and work ethic is only rivaled by his million dollar smile and movie star looks. Upon vehicle delivery, I also had the good fortune of dealing with Mr. Ricardo Faria, and Mr. Matthew Pennoyer. Both gentlemen were professional and caring. Meeting them truly enhanced my purchasing experience. They are both also a big part of your Helms team that truly go above and beyond to make a difference. I truly believe that there is no one in your dealership that is not amazing at what they do for your customers. Kudos to you for having such a fine group of people under your employment. You are truly lucky to have them. You Sir, have the “Dream Team” of associates at Helms Brother Mercedes Benz! I am sure that because of them, you sleep better at night. It is my strong recommendation that you secure their future with your company at this location, because I can guarantee that I do not speak alone when I say that if they were not there, most, if not all, of your customer base would not be there as well. You may rest assured that your stellar employees have guaranteed my return business, as well as the business of my friends and family, as well as all of my referrals, which I can assure you will make a difference in your bottom line. Thank you again for the wonderful buying experience, and for your time. More

On March 27th, I visited the Helms Bros Mercedes Benz dealership and purchased a beautiful C300 pre-owned vehicle. Mr. John Kunz, the manager at the dealership, was very helpful and professional during dealership and purchased a beautiful C300 pre-owned vehicle. Mr. John Kunz, the manager at the dealership, was very helpful and professional during the entire process. He carefully explained to me the various available finance options and made me feel very comfortable with my purchase. I also contacted him a few times after I purchased my vehicle and he always responded quickly and addressed all of my concerns. Mr. Kunz is a gentleman with commendable moral ethics and was responsible for the excellent experience my family and I shared at Helms Bros. I would highly recommend the Helms Bros. dealership to anyone interested in purchasing a Mercedes vehicle. More

We have several reasons for giving the ratings we gave them. The first reason was that we originally came in to sell our old car but ended up walking out with a great new car. We were able to get a great them. The first reason was that we originally came in to sell our old car but ended up walking out with a great new car. We were able to get a great deal on our old car and a great deal on our new car. Before coming to Helms Bros we visited two other Mercedez-Benz dealers. The biggest difference at this dealership was the care and personal attention we received. In every transaction they took the burden upon themselves to make sure that we had to go thru as little effort as possible. They were very approachable with every question we had and even months later they are still helpful with every new question we have about our car. The staff is super friendly and our overall experience there was one for the books! More

I came into service for problems with my convertible top. It would not open or close. I did not make an appointment but recently (within 2 months) purchased my car pre owned. Needless to say...I was not happ It would not open or close. I did not make an appointment but recently (within 2 months) purchased my car pre owned. Needless to say...I was not happy when I arrived at the service department. From the moment I drove up I was greeted with nothing but smiles. The receptionist put me in contact with the service manager, Richard Grein who after re-assuring me that my vehicle would be taken care of had me sit with his assistant, Andrea. She had the shop Forman come up and look at my vehicle outside to see if any trouble shooting could be performed. He said that more time would be needed to properly diagnose the problem. Of course by this time I was already late for work. I was then offered a loaner vehicle and was assured I would have a complete diagnostic by 2pm. At 1:30 Andrea called me and told me the repairs to my car was complete! I arrived to pick up my car shorty after and again...was greeted with nothing but smiles. A valet walked me into the lounge to warm up with some tea. It was truly an exceptional service experience and I will be returning. More

Never go for service of your car to this Dealer. Only people involved in selling cars are the best and I highly recommend you to buy a car there in case you have a honest and good Service person to take people involved in selling cars are the best and I highly recommend you to buy a car there in case you have a honest and good Service person to take good care of your car. The sell aria personnel are very good and friendly. The Service aria is a place you sould never go too service your car. If you have a small job they will find a way to charge you as much as possible. Never go to their Service aria ever if you like your car. More

I brought my car in because the suspension in the front had dropped and because the engine light was on. I was told by the salesman (only appropriate to call him a salesman) that they'd check it out and I had dropped and because the engine light was on. I was told by the salesman (only appropriate to call him a salesman) that they'd check it out and I gave them permission to inspect the car and see what was wrong with it. I was told that the 240 charge for doing a computer reading on the car would be applicable to any repairs made to the car. Upon picking it up, the suspension was up, and I noticed that the roll bar light was on. I pressed the button for the roll bar and was covered with hydraulic fluid from the passenger side latch. I called Keith McKenna, the salesperson, and he said that he and the mechanic were flabbergasted as to why this happened. Snowy conditions kept me from bringing the car back immediately, and since the suspension was raised, I assumed it would be safe to drive for 50 miles. I was wrong. The suspension dropped after 25 miles, and McKenna claimed that he told me that the car wasn't fixed, even though he had told me how lucky I was that it was only a small fluid problem. They refused to take responsibility for the broken latch that caused the hydraulic fluid to leak in the car even though it happened at their service station. They tried to charge me 2600 dollars to fix it. When I expressed outrage, Keith McKenna accused me of "trying to get a free lunch" out of the situation. As a result of driving the car with the suspension lowered after Helms Brothers supposedly fixed it, my car incurred serious damage, and Helms Brothers attempted to charge me a ludicrous price to fix the car. Long story short, I was lied to repeatedly by the salesperson, Keith McKenna, and when the general manager got involved, I was told they'd fix the problem at cost. However, on my bill, they charged me for 2.5 hours of work at 120 an hour, which is 2x as much as any other authorized repair shop charges. My car is in MUCH worse shape than it was in when I originally brought it into the shop. I'm afraid to drive it, after picking it up the second time and driving roughly 3 miles home, I began to smell a strange odor, like something was burning. So, for 1000 dollars, I brought a car with a small problem into their shop and left with a badly damaged vehicle that will be incredibly expensive to fix. I would NEVER recommend Helms Brothers to anyone, and strongly suggest that anyone considering using them reconsider immediately. They are completely dishonest and McKenna has no knowledge of the product that he is supposed to advise his customers on. His dishonesty is blatant and he had the nerve to try and shake my hand when I came for the car the second time. I refused to shake it. Do NOT use Helms Brothers, they will rip you off and in my case, leave you worse off than where you started. More

This place is a farce...Nothing gets completed right or totally...Their service staff is either underqualified or trained to not finish something in order for you to return at a later date...I will never r totally...Their service staff is either underqualified or trained to not finish something in order for you to return at a later date...I will never recommend or send anyone I know to that facility for any reason...No one responds/returns phone calls...You have to call on your own to find out the status of your vehicle to only be told it will not be ready until tomorrow...They give the illusion of confidence but fail to deliver everytime...I hope people see this before going.
