This is specifically about David Lin in finance his cheap salesman tactics. He actually threw my license across the desk and it landed on the floor!! Mercedes needs to reassess how they do business. Dav salesman tactics. He actually threw my license across the desk and it landed on the floor!! Mercedes needs to reassess how they do business. David Lin in the finance department is very condescending once you decide not to buy his warranties. He takes it personally and then gets very rude and condescending. I did not want to purchase an extended warranty nor GAP. Followed by comments like "I guess you don't believe in insurance", "You will lose so much money without this insurance" "What if I gave it to you at any price, still don't want it?" All that is ok, we are used to cheap salesman tactics. Even though it's a new era where sales have progress to honesty and integrity. These tactics are what you would expect at a corner used sales car lot. All that aside 2 major issues really stood out. David Lin proceeds by stating my wife and I don't live at the same address!? Really, have some self dignity! Then David Lin tosses my driver's license back at me where it slides and hits the floor! After handing David my license how dare he throws it back. I understand he may be hungry for his commission but not every car sales end with buying add ons. More
I purchased my 2012 Mercedes C250 from Mercedes Benz of Pleasanton in 2014. They have performed all the maintenance and repair services since the time of purchase. In January of 2021, I brought my car in Pleasanton in 2014. They have performed all the maintenance and repair services since the time of purchase. In January of 2021, I brought my car in for a repair that was not covered by warranty and was estimated to cost $1400 plus tax. After shopping around at nearby foreign car repair establishments (all of which quoted me a price far lower than Mercedes of Pleasanton), I decided to continue having Mercedes of Pleasanton perform my repairs, including this one. When the repairs were completed, I picked up my car and drove a short distance home. The next time I drove the car, I reached into my console only to find that all of the gift cards (roughly $900 in value) were missing, stolen actually. No one other than me and Mercedes Benz of Pleasanton had access to my car. I called on January 25, 2021, the next business day to address the issue and was told someone would get back to me within 24-hours. It took management two weeks before they called me back just to say, “They’ll investigate the matter.”. Approximately 7 ½ weeks passed before management got back to me saying “Yes, an employee had stolen from me.” and approximately 5 months passed before I was reimbursed the gift card value. To add insult to injury, management initially offered me a service credit of $745, which is $155 less than the total value of the gift cards, to be used at their dealership. When I said a service credit would not work for me, they said it was either a service credit or nothing. I tried contacting Mercedes Benz USA to see if they could help but received a generic response stating that each dealership is independently owned and to contact the dealership directly. I had to contact upper management multiple times to get the issue resolved. My hope was that purchasing a higher end car with brand recognition such as Mercedes Benz would expose me to better customer service. My biggest concern is that not only was there no sense of urgency in fixing the wrong done to me by one of their employees, their mismanagement of the situation and utter dismissal of me, their loyal customer, made it seem like they were doing me a favor when I was the violated party. They weren't very apologetic, were slow in rectifying the situation (crime actually, let’s face it, their employee stole), and did not make me feel like a valued customer of 7 years. I had every intention of purchasing a Mercedes GLB for my next car, but I cannot in good conscience purchase a Mercedes knowing that this is how this dealership and their corporate parent company treats their customers. I’d encourage you to think twice before giving your money to any business that is not interested in valuing their customers and quickly fixing substantial errors like employees stealing from customers. I’ve attached a timeline of what happened. I hope this helps.
