On May 3, 2013, I took my 2003 Mercedes-Benz S55 in to have a ABC issue resolved. I drove the car in with a noticable lean on the left rear. The right rear, front right & front left were all normal hei have a ABC issue resolved. I drove the car in with a noticable lean on the left rear. The right rear, front right & front left were all normal height. Within about 30 minutes, the service advisor John A Bell came to let me know that they "killed my suspension" by letting out the presure from the ABC system (they drop the presure to 0.0 psi). He stated that "your ABC pump is now dead." Guess what? The car was now sitting flat on the ground with some damage to all four wheel wells, 4 tires, undercarage and other mechanicals. To my shock, Mr. Bell presented me with a repair estimate for $3800.00 for damage they caused. I drove in with a car that was drivable with a extremely smooth ride quality and now had to have it towed away from International Autos - Mercedes-Benz with significant dealer-caused damage to my vehicle. Mr. Bell said, yes it was drivable when I got to the dealership, but they "killed the ABC pump" when they tested it. My cost for an International Autos Mercedes Benz induced "low-rider': $89.99 less 10% PLUS $128.00 towing charge. Mr Bell actually charged me to make my S55 UN-DRIVABLE! Buyers of Mercedes-Benz and those who need service, beware of this shady dealership and service center. Word to the wise, shop elsewhere for MB service, parts and cars. Go to Concours. Word to Mercedes-Benz, this is not a dealer you need on your roster of dealers. Word to lenders, beware of funding offered to this organization, as many customers will not buy nor service product from them, making it more difficult for them to repay bank loans. Loan Defaults coming soon. Negative or -5 Stars is my rating. More
I'm learning why BMW owners refer to their dealers as "Stealers". I received a maintenace notice letting me know that my 60,000 mile Inspection I was due. Called IA to schedule an appointment but could "Stealers". I received a maintenace notice letting me know that my 60,000 mile Inspection I was due. Called IA to schedule an appointment but couldn't get ahold of anyone, so I left messages. My call was returned about 2 days later. Scheduled the appt. They needed my car for a full 8 hours. Thought it was strange since Inspection I is the lesser of the (2) BMW maintenance items. Picked my car up at the end of the day and found they had done a full Inspection II, costing me $800 instead of the $400 expected. Their own paperwork clearly said my car only needed Inspection I. OK fine, now my car is off it's schedule somewhat, paid the $800. (5) days later, I'm sitting at the stoplight and my check engine light comes on. This is totally unacceptable. I'm now waiting for someone to return my call again (had to leave another message) to find out what the deal is. Do NOT do business with this dealer. I'm going across town to Concourse Motors and looking into finding an independant technician who will be getting the rest of my business. IA BMW is a total ripoff! More
International Autos (Infiniti) is the only Infiniti dealer in about 75 miles, and therefore, they price their vehicles high, as they monopolize the area. Before going in, I got quotes from 4 other de dealer in about 75 miles, and therefore, they price their vehicles high, as they monopolize the area. Before going in, I got quotes from 4 other dealers, all about 75 miles away. Every one of them beat International by thousands. <br><br>After getting their offer, I laughed, left, and 30 minutes later bought my car by phone from a dealer in Illinois for $3k less. More
