Mercedes Recensioni 

Worst service ever. I’ve been on the phone to the parts department all morning. They are just doing nothing and sat down all day!! I have rang at least 5 times now and they have not picked up the phone, they’ve put me on hold for at least half an hour. I didn’t expect their service to be terrible as I’m only trying to get my hands on front brake pads for my car. I’ll be taking my business somewhere else, I do not recommend this company at all! If I could give zero stars then I would so you should consider yourself lucky that you got one star lol.

Read before you get involved I made an investigation to have the anti-collision check my appointment was at 9am I dropped the car off and was told it would be ready between 4 and 6pm I actually came back at 4 no one touched the car I asked them why they said they w'll check and they left for about 25 minutes I ask customer service again they said unfortunately we won't be able to check the car today I got angry I was working all day a wasted my day I told them I was going to give a bad review about the service she told me to wait a little bit she actually came back she said I asked my manager he said you have two options either come and wait they can start working on my car tomorrow or in a week without any loaner car or care I asked to return the key and I won't come back again even the branch manager didn't care that I was going to give a bad review I hate giving a bad review but imagine booking an appointment 2 weeks in advance and waiting a whole week they won't care about your review guys don't waste your time

Helaas 1 ster ik heb 3x afspraak moeten plannen laatste 3maanden de probleem van me airco wordt niet opgelost eerste keer voor controle waar de probleem aan lag hebben ze gevonden 2e afspraak was gemaakt probleem opgelost zeiden ze maar helemaal niet zo derde keer na me vakantie weer opnieuw een afspraak weer controle zeggen ze dat het aan een leiding zit de probleem net als bij de tweede afspraak. Ze moeten onderdeel bestellen back order onderdeel komt in oktober maar ze weten het niet zeker. Ik vraag om onderdeel nummer geven ze niet als ze dat geven ga ik het onderdeel binnen 24 uur voor ze regelen. Ik geef ze voorstel van de auto naar airco specialist brengen ook geen akkoord het is een taxi ik rij al 3maanden of meer zonder airco we rijden business en echt warme dagen moet ik me klanten afbellen omdat me airco niet werkt. Ik ben veel klanten misgelopen en veel geld. Me klacht wordt niet serieus genomen.

What an appalling service from Mercedes…

My Mercedes S500 [2022 model] would not start [fault with the starter battery]. I called Mercedes Roadside at around 19:00.At around 20:30 they called to say that their ETA would be 01:25 [which is ridiculous].

Is this what they call a roadside service?

purchased a Mercedes Gla from Mercedes Coventry in July 24.
When I test drove the car every fault that was found the sales person Hasan advised this will be put right.

The service is absolutely incompetent and not met to standards.

The vehicle was bought in good faith and I was advised all work that needed to be would be completed however on the day I went to pick up the vehicle this was not the case and I was left waiting 3 hours just to pick up the vehicle on the day.
Matt firstly done the paperwork and then took me to the vehicle. This I call a sales tactic.
The car was covered with white polish and the plastic wheel arches above the tyres were not even fitted properly.
The black trimming around the car had all white polish.
Looked like a back street garage had valeted the car.
The sales person Matt who was assisting me was going in and out with the polish and cloth to clean the car while I sat there watching him.

Since then I have no end of problems with the car week by week with tyre pressure going down once a week, front sensors not beeping and rattling panoramic sunroof.
They have picked up my car twice now to rectify issues and driven my car more than myself clocking up milage. Driving it from my location to Coventry which is 30 miles there and 30 miles back.
Even though you tell them you do not require a courtesy car they are very persistent that you need to have one Surely this should be a customer choice not theirs.
My vehicle is a 2019 Mercedes Gla the panoramic roof rattles when driving their service team checked this and found no fault. How ridiculous. You can clearly hear the noise when your driving the car.
It's like your dealing with a back street garage that fobs you off.
Mercedes strive to deliver excellent service not in this case with this branch they provide awful service and cause nothing but stress to the customer.

The team leader Hasan and senior manager Arjun are useless they have no customer care skills. Clearly there is training issues.
They make the customer feel at fault and cause the customer stress.
I have sent this company 34 emails going back and forth but they do not care.
I made numerous telephone calls but again got nowhere.
Once this company have your money they really don't care about the customer.
This branch has caused me nothing but stress.

They sell a cover which they promote as smart guard warranty however this is a car care plan which they sell as 3rd party but they don't make the customer aware of this. Mis selling it as smart guard warranty. I did not receive paperwork as a direct debit was taken I looked at the company and contacted them they were called car care plan ltd.

If you are considering buying a mercedes vehicle do not use this branch they will over promise but under deliver.

The wording of complaint is something this branch does not does understand or take seriously.

Just a word of advice inspect the car on the day of pick up and if you are happy with everything then go ahead with the paperwork, do not do the paperwork before you see the vehicle otherwise you can incur problems like I did.
On the day of negotiations if you like the car and decide to go ahead with it they will ask you to do a goggle review so they can look like a reputable company, again word of advice do not post a goggle review until you pick up your vehicle, where you are happy or not post a review at this point. At least this will show a true reflection of how to branch is treating customers.

This branch seriously needs to be investigated.

Mercedes Winchester
I had a notice on my A class hybrid stating that the break assist wasn't working properly.

I popped in to my local garage where I bought the car 2 years earlier, to ask if I could do something to rectify it.

I asked the receptionist if I could speak to someone briefly about it. No one here she says. Assuming she wasn't manning the whole showroom herself. I asked her if anyone could advise. At this point and with obvious effort, she tumbles off her chair rolling her eyes in annoyance and speaks to someone. She came back and I asked if I could speak to that person she had spoken to. More huffs and puffs and deliberate foot plodding. A man arrives who explained it wouldn't be dangerous and that they'd phone me Tues after the bank holiday.

MESSAGE TO MANAGEMENT
Make sure your receptionists are trained in basic (at least) customer service. Rolling your eyes at customer after one question, is not.
The result was the same (no help available) but how I was treated as a customer was very different.

Just sold my Mercedes GLE. I found the team, swift, professional & reliable. Took the hassle away from selling my vehicle in the time that suited my timeframe. Would strongly recommend.

I took my Mercedes Benz C to my local garage for its MOT and it failed on a corroded and seriously weakened sub-frame.
I was made aware that the make and model of my car should have been recalled, as it's an ongoing fault in them.
I had received no recall letter or been sent any information on this major safety issue.

When I contacted Mercedes in Bristol, they told me they might not fix it for free, even though it was a Mercedes fault.
I got to Mercedes and left my car to be checked, I was told that head office would have to state whether they would fix the fault for free. While there I asked a service assistant why I wasn’t made aware of this fault, to which I was told that they don’t tell everyone as people would then break their own sub-frame just to get new one!!! (Even though the frame corrodes from the inside out , so not sure how this is possible!)
I was in complete shock as I have been driving my children around in a car that was unsafe and wasn’t made aware of this major safety fault because of that !
It was booked in for 11.30 and by 5pm I still hadn’t heard anything.
I had to ring them, which I was then told they would fix it but could be up to 6 weeks for the part, but would ring me on Monday to let me know.
Yet again no phone call!
Had to chase it up again, thankfully not 6 weeks, but shocked at the treatment and lack of understanding and empathy of a situation that could have been much worse.

Shocking customer service. I have written a complaint to head office and have had one email back in over a week saying they will look into, but yet again no further contact.

Took my car in for service (stoke), when they had finished, I went to start my car, and I noticed the engine management light on (it wasn't there when I arrived (although I knew there was an intermittent fault that appears then goes).

I went and told them about it, and they said they'll take a look. A guy came back out, and tried to imply that it WAS already there when I dropped the car off due to the fault log being the same when it appeared, but this could still mean they triggered the fault that I knew was there previously.

But that itself wasn't the issue, my issue is that they cleared the fault, when I asked what the fault was, I was told I needed to pay £200+ for them to diagnose it?? Surely they already saw the fault on the OBD metre in order to reset it? But they still wanted me to pay for them to diagnose it.
I thought this was a clear money making scam.
I'm already paying a monthly service and MOT subscription and they still tried to take more money for something they already knew about. Terrible service

Mercedes-Benz of Cambridge is the worse I have seen anywhere. I have been driving S Class Mercedes Benz cars since 1990 in 3 different countries and found the Cambridge service centre a bit like British Rail. They sent the car back dirty and with the engine management light on. They did not bother phoning me about the tyres but told me when I went to collect the car and told me I would need to wait a month to get a slot to have the tyres replaced. Would not you phone and say that the engine managment light is on and run a test to find out why when you know the customer has an MOT due???

The only thing they seemed fixated with was that I allegedly needed 2 new tyres. I thought it was odd as the tyres had been changed just 2000 miles before. When I went to the local tyre shop, (to avoid a one month wait to get tyres via Cambridge Mercedes) I was told there was absolutely nothing wrong with the tyres.

Cambridge Mercedes also did not have the pollution testing equipment to carry out an MOT and phoned me at 7pm the night before to tell me that they would not be carrying out any MOT. After Cambridge Mercedes did a service (the A service) on the car, and forced me to find some other place to get the MOT done (the car only has 25000 miles on it), I was told by the independent MOT mechanic Cambridge Mercedes had missed a small fuel leak from a faulty pipe and that the door hinges had not been serviced on the car.

Long waits, really bad service, and no space to park your car safely. I was trapped for 20 minutes when I went to collect my car because the service people brought my car around to the front and parked it in a tiny space where it was soon blocked in by other cars, which it took them 20 minutes to move. Some centres walk you to your car, if you have an S Class or Maybach.

Another downside is that at the Mercedes Centres elsewhere they come and collect your car and drop it off to your house, if you are on the service plan--but Cambridge Mercedes just say they are short staffed. No cold drinks and cheap coffee.

Absolutely a joke of a place given that people are paying between 100k and 200k for an S Class. The Sydney and California Mercedes Centres are vastly superior. If one has been to a really good service centre, they see the difference in one that is really badly run.

Mercedes-Benz of Cambridge needs a full audit from Mercedes head office, it is relying on a monopoly and people not wanting to drive miles to find a decent Mercedes service centre. That it takes 30 minutes to collect a car is also a joke. The place is a complete shambles with rude and rough looking staff.

I will drive to another city from now on even if it is a 2 hour drive, there is no way I will ever take the car back to the Cambridge centre.

I am 85 years old so difficult to take my car for service to Colindale. Sally kindly arranged for my car to be picked up and brought back. Service and all checks were done very well. Thanks to all concerned.

I bought a 2012 Mercedes C class when it was 3 years old and it had 40k miles on the clock. It is awesome. It’s now got 158k on the clock and it’s still going strong. I keep thinking should I swap to a newer car… but why? Mercedes Stockton are expensive but helpful, so I use a local car mechanic for repairs. We have been so impressed we own 3 Mercedes in our family now, all bought used…

Mercedes Benz of Temple Fortune Service is TERRIBLE
I want to add about the service Mercedes Benz of Temple Fortune (London) . In 3 years I did twice service with them and once at Chelsea. Disappointing when there was a problem with the wheel sensor last year. After going to the dealer with problems I paid more than £800. Two months later, the same problem persisted. I tried to note them, but they were silent. The problem go away, then reappear. Finally in the spring, I applied to Temple Fortune to fix my car, which the previous problem had not done. This time they did nothing, but I had to pay £222 for the investigation. In the end, I found a reliable private garage and the problem was solved. I paid £7 for the wheel sensor and £20 for the works. A total of £27. Now It's been 3 months and no problem. For example MB of Temple Fortune this problem not solved and cost over £1200. By the way. I did the car maintenance service that I used before at the MB dealer. Service cost £300 including all filters and labour. MB already asked for £1000 for the same service!
I should also add that when changing all the filters, the mechanic of the private garage showed what the old filters looked like, which were supposedly changed a year ago.. They only changed oil filters and oil in those 3 years. The fuel and air filters have not been changed since the beginning of the car registration.
Money for nothing.
Do not trust auto centers.
NEVER

Mercedes Colindale

Disappointed

Better service on lower cost brands .

Appalling service from Mercedes UK. We have a 3yr old GLE and the rear shock absorbers failed under 30k miles. Mercedes UK made us wait with a vehicle that should have been OTR almost 12 weeks for parts they are still fitting daily in mass production. Totally unacceptable customer service from a brand they believe is premium.

Don’t buy a Mercedes poor quality made to look good !
Security systems are pathetic thieves steal these easily. Expensive to repair like really expensive. Sterile ride boring to drive. Customer service awlful as well which was a surprise. Sorry to be so negative but everything was painful until the point it was stolen off the drive with ease by thieves. At least I can move on to another brand now.

The AdBlue system has a fault that was diagnosed by to independent garages, however they were unable to reset the fault, despite the AdBlue being topped up so recommended going to my local Mercedes dealership in Solihull. On booking the appointment I was told the engine diagnostics test would cost £175. Though not happy, as I already had the fault codes, I thought at least they should be able to confirm the fault codes a provide a solution. After he first hour I was told they still didn't know what the fault was and it would require another 2 hours and addition cost of £350! This wouldn't guarantee that they would find and be able to fix the fault. I refused to pay and have brought the car home. Very frustrated with the lack of knowledge and professionalism shown by this dealership.

Mercedes Benz Colchester

Have used this branch for years without issue but am unsatisfied with my latest dealings.
My car went in for a recall and while it was there I’d asked them to quote for new disk pads and fuel cap cover. Whilst there I was advised I needed 2 new tyres and wiper blades which were fitted and paid for on the day. I was quoted £457.98 for pads and £45.36 for the fuel cover and was told parts would need to be ordered and I’d get a call once they had arrived.
10 days later and no call received so I called to chase to be told the job had dropped off and parts had not been ordered and was quoted over £100 more for the fuel cap cover. Asked if anything could be done as I’d been misquoted and parts had not been ordered and was told I’d get a call back which I’ve not yet received.
Needless to say I will be taking my business elsewhere in future.

I received a recall for my 2021 Mercedes EQA, to fix a steering risk. After 13 minutes wait, I was told that I could have an appointment to fix it in August, or a drop in appointment that couldn't be booked, wait time would depend on how many go there first!
When I bought the car, the handover was done my a young woman who didn't understand how the car worked, and then disappeared for 30 mins to complete the paper work.
The car is uncomfortable, and trim quality disappointing. I cant wait to go back to Lexus.

Mercedes at Southport - always had great service from them. The Sales and Service Team are a delight to work with. They try their utmost to assist with queries. Today I went in to ask them to assist with setting some functions in my car and Andrew from Reception was most helpful. He was patient and supportive to my many little requests. Andrew has deep product knowledge and such a gem! I hope that they will keep up their great services and I will definitely go back to them should I need another car. Cannot say the same for some of the other branches ......
