Definitely BEWARE of this dealership especially Tyrone. Nothing but lies at this place. Drove 8 hours for a “fully serviced” truck for it to be on its last 6% life of a fuel filter(this is a big deal with Nothing but lies at this place. Drove 8 hours for a “fully serviced” truck for it to be on its last 6% life of a fuel filter(this is a big deal with diesels engines) which makes me feel oil was just reset instead of actually being changed. They couldn’t do anything about it they said. Took a little bit off for the price of a new filter. Asked at the time for a spare key or price to be taken off Issac sales guy said no (I watched he didn’t go and ask) Went to do paper work and they did not take off the fuel filter cost on final copy and tried to slip it by me till I noticed it and brought it up. Called a few days later about a spare key cause I knew Issac didn’t talked to Tyrone and also said he wasn’t asked and the proceeded to belittle me saying it’s a younger generation thing wanting spare key and fob cause they are irresponsible etc. Then I proceeded to tell him why I wanted a spare key and fob for my family incase they need a vehicle if something happens to theirs while I’m at work and they need to go somewhere. He said then he’d talk to the general manager when he got back and tell me. Well after several calls and weeks of being led on to not having time to ask and find out and saying I’ll ask first thing in the morning and call which I never got. So I decided to contact Mercedes. Just for Tyrone to tell Mercedes I was lying etc with all this that Tyrone said they couldn’t “afford” it and he never said anything to me about finding out nor about belittling me on the phone cause of being a younger generation. So all and all beware of this place and their scandals before you drive as far as I did to be lied to when you get there and get schemed by shady people. More
Two major issues with my 2020 model year vehicle. One lead to replacing the gas connector and resealing as the original one was not properly installed, thus causing my vehicle to shut down at random One lead to replacing the gas connector and resealing as the original one was not properly installed, thus causing my vehicle to shut down at random times. Each time this occurred, I was driving! One time I was crossing a major highway and the vehicle shutdown. I could not give it any gas and it coasted across the highway. Thankfully, there was a traffic light at this particular location. I brought this to the attention of the service department only to be told the first time that the issue could not be repeated for inspection and nothing could be done. Thankfully, the second time this occurred was at my home. I had to have it towed to the dealership and was finally told what the issue was. The part had to be ordered from Germany and installed. I was initially told I could not acquire a loaner car because the repair would not take long! After a couple of days, I was allowed a loaner car. This repair took at least two weeks or more, supposedly because the part took a while to come in. I called every few days because I was not receiving adequate updates. Only when I called, would the rep go check for the item or status of repair. There was no independent follow-up. The second issue I brought to their attention was the sound of air releasing from the brakes whenever I pressed the pedal AND park/brake light intermittently coming on. Apparently the CSR took it upon himself to only annotate part of my complaint which now leads me to my current situation which is upon bringing this to their attention again yesterday, NOW the “switch is malfunctioning” and I’m responsible for the repair! I was also told my cabin and engine filters needed changing in which these were both changed about 3 months ago and had someone actually looked at them, they would have known. CSR stated they are going by the mileage. If this is the case, why are vehicle owners being charged to inspect these items? Regarding the part/repair, I am now on the hook for the cost because apparently Mercedes likes to play with words and CSRs determine what and how to annotate customer complaints, which leaves customers venerable to unexpected repair costs for things that should be covered! Additionally, my steering wheel is literally peeling! How does this happen in a $50k luxury vehicle? Lastly, whenever I depart the dealership, there is always footprints on the step of the inner door. I typically say nothing and just take a damp cloth and clean it, however, considering the lackluster service being received, I will start reaching out to a manager EVERY moment I have to deal with lacked service. At this point, I am questioning all services I’ve received since purchasing this vehicle in May of 2020. It seems as though the best service you receive at this location is your purchase. Anything after that is a wash. This MB dealership has disappointed me for the last time. $220 for an oil change (clearly nothing else was visually checked, even the wiper fluid squirts plain water), since no one noticed my filters were fairly new.
