I recently brought my Mercedes GLE into this dealership’s - CB
I recently brought my Mercedes GLE into this dealership’s service department to address a manufacturing defect in the air-conditioning ductwork beneath the dashboard. My experience, unfortunately, was nothing short of disappointing and has left me questioning the integrity of their service operations.
The service advisor insisted that the rattle I heard was caused by the sunglasses holder, which had already been replaced previously and was definitively not the issue. Despite my reservations, I allowed them to replace it again, only for more time to be wasted on a misdiagnosis. This was frustrating enough, but the problems didn’t end there.
My vehicle was in their care for approximately ten days. Upon picking it up, I discovered that the windshield was cracked completely across. The service manager claimed this was due to an existing crack—one I had never observed before dropping off the vehicle. What makes this even more egregious is their blatant double standard: their loaner car agreement states that customers are responsible for windshield damage while the vehicle is in their possession. Yet, they refused to take any accountability for the damage to my windshield while it was in their care.
Adding insult to injury, there was noticeable leather damage on the dashboard, evidently caused during the warranty repair work. This kind of careless treatment of a luxury vehicle is simply unacceptable.
If you value your vehicle and expect to receive it back in the same—or better—condition than when you dropped it off, I urge you to avoid this service department at all costs. My experience demonstrates a lack of attention to detail, poor communication, and an unwillingness to take responsibility for their mistakes. I expect better from a dealership representing a luxury brand, and you should too.
