Rene House was my service representative at Beverly Hills mercedes several years ago. When I found out Rene was at Simonson I was thrilled and transfered to Simonson for furthur service. I found Renes servic mercedes several years ago. When I found out Rene was at Simonson I was thrilled and transfered to Simonson for furthur service. I found Renes service to be more honorable than most I have experienced at Beverly Hills Mercedes. Being a female who knows very little about cars this is crucial in my choice of service representatives. More

Why isn't there a selection for 0! I did not like the way I was treated at all in this place. They were so rude to me. Then they tried selling me flushes that the car didn't need! I know this because I norma I was treated at all in this place. They were so rude to me. Then they tried selling me flushes that the car didn't need! I know this because I normally get my car fixed at Beverly Hills, and they recently did the flushes to it. The only reason I was at Simonson this time was because my car died nearby. The labor was insane, the idea that they would try to pre-sell items to me before even looking over my car is insane, and the managers in that place don't have half a brain! Never again. I'll pay more money for a tow to MB of Beverly Hills long before I come here again. It's Beverly Hills, and the labor is cheaper! Go figure! Nice try Simonson. You lost more business. And judging by the rest of the reviews on here you're going to lose more and more people who see these, long before they ever get near the entrance. Trust me people, don't give up on the Mercedes product because of THIS PLACE! Just take your car to Beverly Hills and you'll get nicer people, cheaper prices, and a better service experience overall.

I wish there was a button on the recommendation for "xxxx NO". This is a problem in progress but so far the way this so called automotive giants handling takes unprofessionalism to a leve even Enron wasnt ab NO". This is a problem in progress but so far the way this so called automotive giants handling takes unprofessionalism to a leve even Enron wasnt able to go. 1) Their service department should be disqualified from handlind all types of cars let alone bikes. I have had 2 seperate incidents with a CLK 350 (2006) which had almost deadly consequences and a C230 (which I thank traffic on wilshire at 5pm) which was the steering wheel locking while the car was in motion. 2) I refuse to take the car back as it has 2 months left on lease and its a car my wife drives with my kids in it. The level of service that they provide must be turning Mr. Benz over in his grave daily Their upper management, is a bunch of puppets, except their GM, which does not have the courtesy, let alone the cajones, to call a client who has leased his 4th car from the dealership back and see what is wrong. So we take time from our busy schedules every day and start climbing the corporate ladder finding sonic executives in the other end of the country to resolve our problems NOT ONLY WILL I NOT DO BUSINESS AND ADVISE NO ONE ELSE TO DO BUSINESS WITH WI SIMONSON, BUT I WILL BE NO LONGER DRIVING A BENZ for any curious folks investkw@yahoo.com is my email OOPS Just got call from the GM - STILL NO RESOLUTION TO PROBLEM. STAND BY MY ADVICE. DO NOT DEAL WITH WI SIMONSON AND AVOID BENZ's More

I think this dealership "saw me coming". I am a petite attractive blonde and W.I. Simonson service dept. took me for a ride! First, I was quoted $1050. for a basic "one wrench" service! I became suspi attractive blonde and W.I. Simonson service dept. took me for a ride! First, I was quoted $1050. for a basic "one wrench" service! I became suspicious, because the "service advisor" never actually "advised" me on my service and flirted with me while he typed up my paperwork Being the trusting person I am I left, but the next day called two other dealerships: Calabasas and Pasadena. The Pasadena service dept charged ONLY $198. for this same service!! The advisor, Rene House, was a total jerk! When I questioned him about the price he made up some story. When I couldn't take him anymore, I just wanted to pick up my car and leave! At the cashier counter, I saw that I was charged nearly $100 for tire balancing. Well, I just had 4 new tires put on my C240! I asked Mr. House to remove the charge and he started yelling at me in front of the cashier and another employee!!! When I said I wasn't going to pay for this charge, he said "he wouldn't give my car back! This man was rude, I was overcharged and the service was horrible! Besides that, he said I needed a couple other things that would have doubled my bill! I took it to an independent Mercedes mechanic recommended by a friend. He did a diagnostic and said there was absolutely NO indication that I needed either of the services he recommended!! It would have doubled my bill!! This dealership is way OVERPRICED and the service manager, Rene House, extremely rude and unhelpful. MY ADVICE IS TO GO TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP!! More

W.I SIMONSON CHARGESTHE MOST FOR TELE AID UPGRADE !!! W.I SIMONSON CHARGESTHE MOST FOR TELE AID UPGRADE !!! I called W.I. Simonson to find out how much the "digital upgrade" for my Tele Aid would cost W.I SIMONSON CHARGESTHE MOST FOR TELE AID UPGRADE !!! I called W.I. Simonson to find out how much the "digital upgrade" for my Tele Aid would cost since Mercedes motified me that the analog Tele Aid they installed in all cars up to 2006 would no longer work after this year. W.I. Simonson said they would not do the 1 year or 2 year subscription upgrade to digital, ONLY THE LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION UPGRADE! Which they charge $2100! (According to MBUSA, the Lifetime upgrade is $1500 which includes parts plus labor charges). I told them I only wanted a one year as my car is 4 yrs old and would probably only have it one more year. Didn't matter. They only do the lifetime upgrade. I called Beverly Hills Ltd Mercedes Benz, and they quoted $1743 for the lifetime upgrade. They also quoted $1067 for the one year upgrade. ($240 for the subscription, $600 parts, and $243 for labor). Which must mean that W.I. Simonson is charghing more than double for labor! When I called Simonson's Service Department and told them of the difference in cost, they couldn't understand how BH Ltd could do the job for $243 in labor. They just about refused to believe me. In any case, I had the job done at BH Ltd MB the next day. And they gave me a loaner Mercedes free! More

I initiated a great deal via the internet, had my credit approved, and was ready with my down payment. What was a day to wait for my car that was arriving turn into no later than 5 days later. This turned approved, and was ready with my down payment. What was a day to wait for my car that was arriving turn into no later than 5 days later. This turned into another 3 days later, and finally after another 2 weeks, I canceled my order. There reasoning was that the car that was delivered to another dealership through which they traded for my deal was missing a part. This continued, and I supposed I would have accepted this as an excuse; however, the reason I canceled my order was because of this. It was that each time I was told that I would be picking up my car, and I made changes to my schedule they never updated me to tell me that I would have to wait some more. The lack of updates was what made me cancel my order. Despite getting a great deal, pretty much any dealership can match it, but treat you fairly. Especially if you have busy schedule. I would strongly not recommend anyone purchasing from them, believe go else where. Thanks More

Part 1 of W.I. Simonson because of the length of this post: Hi Folks, for those of you who plan on taking your belove mercedes to W.I. Simonson for service, please think twice or three times if you ha post: Hi Folks, for those of you who plan on taking your belove mercedes to W.I. Simonson for service, please think twice or three times if you have to or maybe this will certainly change your mind with my case. On monday April 30th, I had an appointment for my (1st maintenance) on my new S550. Later the next day, I was called in to pick up my vehicle about 3pm (note: the service guy did not mention any "problems done" to my vehicle yet on their behalf). Item 1: When I drove in the lot, my service guy already saw me pulling into the lot which I took noticed when he looked straight at me. Once I got into the service desk, he acted as I was not present until I spoke his name. Why? i dont know. (note: He still did not tell me about what had happend to my car) Item 2: After waiting for 30 mins for them to do the paper work. He then asked me to see the cashier and that my car was ready and go see him after I pay the cashier. After paying the cashier, I walked to the service guy and he looked at me and "smiled"? I'm thinking, great, my car is done and washed as I requested it of course. As we were walking towards my car, I was looking through my receipt again on the list of service that they did. At the same time, the service guy said, those were the services performed and I said okay, good. And then it came......he said, one other problem. Ready for this... "Your car was damage" Just imagine an "Angry Face and your heart just starts to pound faster and faster". "Your tire was slashed, blown out, and a dent on the rim". I said WHAT!!!! How careless can you be, claiming that you work for a quality "Mercedes Benz" Dealership Note: No APOLOGY was said to me at ALL!!!! and he made it seem like it was not his fault. And it gets worst from there.... He did say, they would "restore it", any how, I immediately tried to look for the service manager but the service "beat me to it" so I waited for like 2 mins then I went in after he said whatever he said to his manager.
