This is my last Mercedes Benz buy
This is my last Mercedes Benz buy. I own a GLS 450. Went to the Tampa Mercedes Benz to replace all 4 tires. I was in the shop for over 10 hours believe or not. From 7:30am to 6:30pm! I decided to do this due to an upcoming trip. Spoke to the service manager and he could not give me an explanation for the long delay. All from the scheduler to the service director are a bunch on incompetence employees. This includes Tony, Luis, Fernando Muniz (Service Manager) and the director who left around 5pm and who did not even investigate the delay even when the service agent Angelo Ingrassia (perhaps the most straight forward employee) went to speak to him directly. Not even a discount (free oil change) nothing. This dealer has banners all over the place for over a decade of been the Best of the Best. I question the validity of these banners. I am a retired Colonel in the US Army and a war Veteran. I also worked as a district manager for a US Retail Company for 22 years. I used to teach customer service principles and training development. Believe, these people have no personality. They go about their own business. For a Mercedes Benz dealership they are not worth the money you invest in them. You get nothing in return. There is no free anything - not even coffee for customers. They have a small eatery where you pay for coffee and drinks. And they tell you - go the waiting room and have a cup of coffee. I spend over $20 in snacks during my 10-hour wait. Insane. Really horrible experience. This morning I checked the tires. The rims were all greasy and hand stains all over a $90k car. Incredible. Don't waste your time buying a car there. A toyota/gm dealership gives you a better service and better shopping experience.
