I purchased a Mercedes Benz GLE 350 on 2022 from Mercedes-Benz of Atlanta South.Due to ***** Hurricane, my car was flooded. My insurance company treated it as a total loss. I contacted the gap insurance. They asked me to request a refund for my extended warranty from Mercedes-Benz of Atlanta South. I called the reception for that. The reception asked me to send an email to their financial department. I sent over 20 emails in last two months, but did not get any response. I called them again. The said they have left me a message and someone will call me back. But I have not received any call from anyone. It is really a terrible experience.Business Response

On January 15, 2024, I came here to comply with the NCV3 Sprinter emissions control system recall campaign, finally deciding to do it after receiving a mailer from MBUSA offering an additional $1,500 in parts and service on top of the recall service. My service advisor and one of her colleagues had no idea about it, even after I physically showed it to them. After getting my van back, I learned later from MBUSA in ****************** that they were, in fact, supposed to honor it on the spot. I had (and still have, pending resolution) a laundry list of small nuisance parts that need replacing, totaling well less than the $1,500 voucher I was offered at the time. This was truly the deal maker that made me part ways with my crucial vehicle for over two days for a recall I didn't think was absolutely necessary in the first place.Business Response

On 12/1/2023 I filed a request to replace a lost key of my GLC 2016, I was initially told by phone it will take 3- business day, then at the service location they told me it will take 7 days.I paid$1254.11 on 12/21/2023, I have been waiting for my Key, i called multiple times and today I was told that the case of my lost key was done on 12/28/2023 and that they do not have my key yet and it might take two weeks.This very inconvenient and a change of promised services multiple times. I expected Mercedes service to be more proficient than what i have experienced. I have too many questions and no one is giving me updates unless I call myself.Business Response

I bought a car from this dealership Valentines Day this year. I flew from my home town which is three hours away to Atlanta one way to purchase this car to drive back home. There were no pictures uploaded on the Internet, which I thought was strange. When I got to the dealership, the car was covered in a black tar material, very small dots. The dealership and I move forward with the purchase with the promise that they would pick my car up and have the spots removed and return my car with no issue to me at a future date I started calling the dealership in March to schedule the paint remediation, I was told many excuses I was giving this persons information for it around until finally in June someone came to pick my car up named ***** with ***** logistics, they took my car brought it back in a months time when ***** returned my car he damaged my vehicle pulling it off the tow truck. They took my car back to Atlanta. The general manager blame the accident on the Tow truck driver. I explain to Mercedes that the damage cars should not be my lost on value of the car or getting it fixed. I was assured by the general manager **** that he would for the inconvenience pay for the car payment for that month I have not heard from **** in over a month. I drove to Atlanta fed up with the loaner vehicle they gave me to get my car no one would give me updates. No one told me what was wrong with the car and no one told me what was repaired in the car. I could not get a break out of what happened to the car when I went to Atlanta and got my car. The cameras do not synchronize. The sensors are not working and no one at this dealership will answer my call or call me back . This is a very terrible situation. The worst customer service I have ever experienced. I am looking for a call from ****, the general manager, to compensate me on the value, lost during the time that they had my car, and I had nothing to do with the damage being caused. Stay Away from this place!!!Business Response

I am filing a complaint against a Mercedes-Benz authorized dealer for their mishandling, misleading practices, and lack of professionalism regarding repairs to my Mercedes-Benz 2022 C300. This has resulted in substantial financial losses and inconveniences.I brought my vehicle in on January 24th, 2023, for critical repairs, including a damaged back panel, rear battery, cracked glass, and other issues. Despite assurances, the dealership falsely claimed the vehicle was ready for pick up in late February. No repairs had been made, and my concerns were dismissed.The dealership requested a detailed description of the issues I had already outlined, raising doubts about their competence. They misled me by claiming insurance involvement was unnecessary and turned away my insurance adjusterthe cost of repairs escalated from under $1,000 to $6,700. I was told I needed to replace my essential fob battery; the critical issue was not resolved as promised upon paying for the replacement.Furthermore, I was told my key needed to be reprogrammed and a new key ordered; I was told the rear battery issue was due to my negligence. ( taking too long to pick the vehicle up) even though the vehicle's battery had been failing when brought in.I have been without my vehicle for five months, incurring $5,000 lost time and $2,500 in insurance costs. I have already spent $4,000 on repairs and paid for a rental car at $45 per day.I request full reimbursement for the five months of lost time ($5,000), insurance costs ($2,500), repairs ($4,000), and rental car expenses.I urge the Better Business Bureau to investigate the dealership's deceptive practices and ensure appropriate compensation.Thank you for addressing this complaint promptly.SincerelyBusiness Response

I had a Radiator leak. I made a appointment with the dealership. Upon speaking with my advisor I explained to her that my air vent was damaged & inquired about replacing it. I knew if they had to remove it could cause further damage. After getting my truck repaired. I checked under my hood. I notice it was damaged more than it was before the repairs. I went to dealership in May 3rd. I spoke to ******, she toke my name & number. She stated she will let ***** my advisor aware & their director. I waited a week & have not heard anything. I would like the dealership to replace my air intake. Upon picking. Up my vehicle no one said anything.Business Response
