Riverside, CA
6,146 Reviews
Over Fifty years ago, in the legendary pits of Riverside Raceway, a mechanic, known for his perfection, dreamed of one day owning his own automobile dealership - right here in Riverside. He dreamed of a dealership that would sell and service one of the finest luxury automobiles in America. Nothing less than Mercedes-Benz. Well, that perfectionist was Walter Kienle who realized his dream right here in Riverside, where the cost of doing business is much less so Walter's can offer you a great price and even better value.

Great experience This is the first time I did not dread going to a dealership. We were welcomed as if we were a part of the team. There was no pressure when dealing wi This is the first time I did not dread going to a dealership. We were welcomed as if we were a part of the team. There was no pressure when dealing with Andrew Wagner he was so professional and his knowledge of the cars were impressive. Raul Ayala was very patient when getting all the cars I wanted to test drive. Great customer service from the whole team, from sales to finance. Thank you to everyone we dealt with. More

Customer Service and Sales is a problem! I got a 2017 Mercedes E-CLASS 300 Certified Pre-Owned from this location. BTW, this is my first time buying from this location and Walters, and probab I got a 2017 Mercedes E-CLASS 300 Certified Pre-Owned from this location. BTW, this is my first time buying from this location and Walters, and probably my last. I had read some good reviews from the web about Walters so I thought I will give it a shot. I am going to keep the sales associate information private here because I don’t think he has anything to do with it. It's probably just the way they deal with customers. The experience from the start was not pleasant at all. Apart from the back and forth on negotiation, which, is expected, I wasn't even given a clean car to go home with. That is just bad!!! They kept on backing out on their own numbers while negotiating. Which is weird, but I accepted it as a non-issue. In any event, the tire pressure was not adjusted when they handed me the car, to a point that on my drive back home I had to fill in air in my tires while it was raining. I had to clean the car myself because it was dirty from inside. My wife asked me on first look of the car if the dealer even bothered to clean the car at all. Okay, that is not it. I noticed that there are slight bumps on the side of my car, the driver side door. Which, they didn't even mention. Mind you this is a certified pre-owned 2017 Mercedes E 300. When I got the problem to their attention, I was told to bring the car in the next time so they can take care of it. I bring the car to the dealership again after a week to realize that they couldn't completely get rid of the bumps. I was promised a detailed car wash because I didn't get one the time, I got the car, that didn't happen either. I was told that the wait is an hour or more to get one. Would they ask me to wait if I was buying the car that day? probably not. I don’t think they put any efforts to at least pretend that they were trying to take care of me and my concerns. I have been a Mercedes owner for close to 8 years now and have traded and got new/pre-owned Mercedes from other Mercedes dealer, but never had this kind of experience before. My wife, friends, family and in my professional network many people drive a Mercedes, but we never had such bad buying experience. In retrospect, this location is big, maybe too big for my needs and that maybe my fault of doing business with them. They maybe the best in Riverside, but I don’t think I am going to recommend anyone to Walters for their Mercedes needs. It's best that I look at other Mercedes dealers for the regular servicing of my Mercedes because I am afraid that their careless attitude can possibly damage my vehicle. If you are desperate to get a Mercedes and don’t care about customer service, the state of the vehicle you buy, and they are giving you a *fair* deal then maybe Walters can fit the bill. If not, there are other Mercedes dealers 20-30 miles from this location which are probably much better than this one. They have got to focus on their customer service and experience to facilitate new and repeat business. More

Leased a CLA250 This was my first time leasing a car and also stepping foot in a Mercedes dealership, and the staff was very friendly and more than willing to help me This was my first time leasing a car and also stepping foot in a Mercedes dealership, and the staff was very friendly and more than willing to help me make a deal. Alin Cole was very helpful running back and forth to see what he could make work for me. Frank Serraro also provided a lot of useful information about the mechanics and services that Mercedes offered, which I was very thankful for. Very pleased with the service I got and even more pleased with my new car. More
