Mercedes-Benz of Houston North

The dealership is average on the whole for MB cars. The sales teams is made up of a bunch of virgin sales people. I had big problems with the service advisors, they usually dont care about you and have ve sales teams is made up of a bunch of virgin sales people. I had big problems with the service advisors, they usually dont care about you and have very little information aside from the time of the day. Be wary of the Liz, she sits at the bottom of the barrel. The only reason I recommend and use this dealership is because of the Service Manager Gerald Lynch. Stand up guy that does not xx you nor does he avoid your pointed questions. I have known him 12 years and he has truly worked his way up from the shop to the advisor desk to now the manager. Genuine guy who cares about all his customers. I give all my cars to him and I have never heard him say "cant" or "no". I would suggest you go to him before you have a problem. There used be a class "a" service Advisor Marco Imeri but he left them. BIG loss for MB Houston North. If you guys at MB North are reading this pay Gerald a huge bonus because he is the only reason you do work on our S430, S600, C230 and S500.<br><br>EDIT 9.28.04: This dealership has gone nuts. They got rid of the one guy, Gerald, that was the ONLY reason people even went to MB North. Add to that, there are NO MORE LOANERS for service work. You have to pay $50 per day to get a car from Enterprise. So when my car goes in, which is very often, I will have to pay $50 a day for at least 2 weeks, which is normally how long it takes for them to do an oil change ($50 x 14 days = $700)!! That is a car payment in itself every 4 weeks. There you have it folks, buy another car to drive while the dealership keeps your car. MB has no control over this and Autonation does not care. Sure sucks to be a consumer. All together lets say LEXUS! More

I recently purchased a Starmarked 2000 S430 from your dealership. I shopped the other three MB dealerships and Northside Lexus and returned to Mercedes Benz of Houston-North because of your product and dealership. I shopped the other three MB dealerships and Northside Lexus and returned to Mercedes Benz of Houston-North because of your product and your sales person.<br><br>xxxxxx did a good job of selling me the product. He was polished, introduced himself, asked my name, demonstrated the car and asked for the sale. Not one other sales person at the other Mercedes Benz dealerships did the same. When I asked questions about the car he gave me straight answers. <br><br>After my Wife and I agreed to purchase the car is when your dealership began to fail me as a first class organization that one would expect when carrying the flagship name Mercedes Benz.<br><br>When we did the paper work with the lady in back, she insisted that we had to fill out a credit application to buy the car. We brought an approval letter from our credit union and we weren’t taking the car home that night. In a society with identity theft as a growing problem and the invasion of privacy that can happen in the wrong hands of someone with a social security number, I wasn’t comfortable giving out my social security number for a credit check when not using your financial institution. According to my credit union, someone from your dealership could have picked up a certified check the very next day (and I wasn’t taking the car home that night). In my business certified funds are good enough for my customers to close on a half-million dollar home but I guess at your dealership they aren’t good enough for a fifty thousand dollar car. Subsequently, we took the car home three days later.<br><br>Ten days after I purchased the car, I brought it to your dealership for an alignment and the right rear window wouldn’t go down all the way. Items that I believe the Starkmark certification should have found but it was no big deal to me. <br><br>I dropped the car off on Wednesday, October 22 and the car wasn’t ready until Monday, October 27 in the evening.<br><br>This is where the arrogance of your dealership pissed me off. When I was told to come pick up the car, I was told that the rear widow wasn’t fixed. When I asked why, I was told “We don’t want to pay for it and your Starmark warranty won’t go into effect for another 30-45 days.” They wanted me to bring the car back at a later date to fix an item that should have been done before we purchased the car. What’s the purpose of buying a Starmark car if the inspection hasn’t been fully done and there’s a waiting period for it to take effect. I hope my engine or transmission doesn’t quit because I purchased a Starmark car from Mercedes Benz of Houston-North and they don’t stand behind their product and they sure don’t want to make the customer happy. In addition, it takes four working days to align a car that most places can do in a couple of hours. <br> More
