Mercedes-Benz of Ft. Lauderdale

Very disappointed with this service center! 1) I originally brought my car in To Mercedes Benz (MB) of Fort Lauderdale for service to check the battery because it was laboring during the start 1) I originally brought my car in To Mercedes Benz (MB) of Fort Lauderdale for service to check the battery because it was laboring during the starting process, which in my experience indicated a new battery was needed. MB service told me a that a new starter plus a new battery was necessary. 2) I also asked MB service to check the car’s Pirelli tires because the pressure indicator message said a tire was consistently low. They told me that there were small nails in each of the front tires & the tires needed to be replaced. I asked to see the actual nails in the tires & was quickly told the nails were not visible because they were positioned on the interior of tires. So, I asked that MB service patch the tires, but was told that MB doesn't do that, they would only replace the tires. To verify this “nails in tires” issue, I decided to take the car to Wagner Goodyear on Sunrise in Fort Lauderdale to diagnose the issue. The tires were removed from the rims for inspection & no nails were found in any tires! 3) MB service then told me the car needed an alignment; to confirm this issue. I asked Goodyear to do a visual inspection & test drive, as a result it was determined that no alignment was needed. 4) In addition, I felt the 80k maintenance they told me the car needed was unnecessary & extremely overpriced for being a service on a pristine vehicle with only 31k miles. My MB service bill $4,128 & in retrospect, after being lied to about the nails in my tires & the alignment, I now doubt that the starter even needed to be replaced. After being a loyal customer & owning 6 Mercedes Benz vehicles over the past 25 years, I question whether I should purchase another Mercedes product in the future, due to the disappointing & unethical service experience I encountered at the Fort Lauderdale’s service center.

Buyer Beware If you live in the South Florida area and are contemplating buying a new Mercedes-Benz or a used car from Mercedes-Benz of Ft. Lauderdale, whatever yo If you live in the South Florida area and are contemplating buying a new Mercedes-Benz or a used car from Mercedes-Benz of Ft. Lauderdale, whatever you do, DO NOT buy their prepaid maintenance or wheel damage protection as they are about 75% more expensive than other Mercedes dealers in the tri-county area. I'd also shop around before taking your car to them for service as the quote I got from M-B of Coral Gables was 60% of that quoted by M-B of FtL. And since M-B of Pompano is also an AutoNation dealer, I would assume they are also as bad a stealership as their FtL branch. For that matter, wherever you are in the USA, make a few phone calls to other nearby M-B dealers that aren't owned by AutoNation to make certain they aren't also gouging the way M-B of FtL is. Caveat emptor. More

worst service ever Our new car did a double spin in the road, yes 360 degrees circle while riding at 45 mph. We took the car to the dealer and after 2 days they said ev Our new car did a double spin in the road, yes 360 degrees circle while riding at 45 mph. We took the car to the dealer and after 2 days they said everything is fine. Later the car did the same and for the second time they said there's nothing wrong. We took it to a different dealer and there they said at a first glance that the front wheels needed alignment. ALIGNMENT! Now it is corrected. Mercedes Benz Fort Lauderdale sucks. More

They call you to pick up you car at the last They need only your money. You are only a number for them. I have never seen such a disrespectful people. They call you to pick up you car at the last minute No consideration where you at right now. Nobody knows what is going on with your car at Collision Center. Never stay on schedule. More

FLOOD DAMAGE VEHICLE!!!!!! The mask they put on for a nice clean operation is not what it seems to be, in reality it is the complete opposite, all Auto Nation and management wan The mask they put on for a nice clean operation is not what it seems to be, in reality it is the complete opposite, all Auto Nation and management want to do is show good figure and profit for their shareholders. MERCEDES BENZ OF FORT LAUDERDALE SOLD ME A FLOOD DAMAGE CAR AND DID NOT DISCLOSE IT! I found out when I took my car to the Bentley dealer and was told that $ 65000 was spent to repair the car and when i called them back to take back their flooded car, they said "buyer be aware." They refuse to buy the car back or pay any diminished value. More

terrible service I have never seen somebody so disrespectful. We brought our car for service B today, I had made a appointment 10 days ago and ask for a courtesy vehic I have never seen somebody so disrespectful. We brought our car for service B today, I had made a appointment 10 days ago and ask for a courtesy vehicle. Turned out, as we brought our car on time, we had to wait for the advisor for 15 min, then as the advisor, Chris Barrington, arrived, he did not acknowledge our presence at his desk. He didn't say anything and went on to work at his desk without even offering to seat or even say good morning. After a few minutes, I introduced myself and explained why we were there to hear that they didn't have any vehicle for us, although I had asked for one specifically after finding out the service B is 5h at least. The advisor was very unpleasant, said he didn't have any vehicle, left for 10 more minutes to say that he didn't have one and that they didn't rent with avis (as I was told). This was a real waste of time, very unpleasant time. We left and won't come back to that dealer. More

MERCEDES BENZ OF FT. LAUDERDALE CAN COST YOU YOUR LIFE! I purchased a brand new $80,000 2017 Mercedes Benz E400 from Mercedes Benz of Ft. Lauderdale an Auto Nation store.. After only 2,000 miles the micheli I purchased a brand new $80,000 2017 Mercedes Benz E400 from Mercedes Benz of Ft. Lauderdale an Auto Nation store.. After only 2,000 miles the michelin tire BLEW OUT and the dealer will not consider it a manufacturer defect and replace it at no cost. I know that dealers have a budget for goodwill so why wont they replace a defective and costly tire?The tire damage was probably a manufacturer defect or was from the test driving from the 17 miles when I picked up my new car. This happened after I had evacuated from Miami as hurricane Irma (a cat 5) was approaching and when I would be doing highway driving.The representative at the dealership (John G.) knew that the "bubble" could become worse and explode while on the highway. Did he replace the tire no.Did he suggest offering it as goodwill No. Needless to say, I will NEVER buy another car from this dealership which knows NOTHING ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE. More

In for a B1 Service on my SL 550 John "Koby" was my service advisor. Great experience. I was in and out. Got a great loaner car. He kept me up to speed every step of the way. Had John "Koby" was my service advisor. Great experience. I was in and out. Got a great loaner car. He kept me up to speed every step of the way. Had some front end damage that was an easy fixed that was addressed gratis--so I was really happy. I will certainly return here for all future service on both my Benz. More

Great people and selection I called Mike Maalouf and told him what I wanted. He called me back to let me know he could make it work. At this point I had been shopping around and I called Mike Maalouf and told him what I wanted. He called me back to let me know he could make it work. At this point I had been shopping around and have heard that from other dealers but when I would go in they would waste my time. Not Mike! He was true to his word and got me the deal I wanted. Thank You Mike!! Stephen in finance made the whole purchase process a breeze. More
