Ariel Magallon

I am a long time (40+ years), multi-MB car owner. MB Manhattan is the worst MB service center i've ever dealt with. they don't answer the phones. they don't return calls. When you are there in person MB Manhattan is the worst MB service center i've ever dealt with. they don't answer the phones. they don't return calls. When you are there in person, the service agents ignore you as if you are invisible. While the physical facility is spectacular, and an easy ride from my apartment, i just can't continue to use them for service. It is an utter embarassment that this dealership is owned and run by the factory. More

This review is about the service technicians in the background that you don’t see. My first contact was with Ariel Magallon at Mercedes Benz Manhattan. She was very pleasant and kept me informed about background that you don’t see. My first contact was with Ariel Magallon at Mercedes Benz Manhattan. She was very pleasant and kept me informed about my vehicle. This is a beautiful Dealership with a fantastic coffee station but it will cost you a good penny to service your vehicle there. After they replaced the Takata recalled airbags in my car, they detailed it and returned it to me in tip top shape. I was so impressed that I decided to have my car serviced there for the first time, bad mistake. Had an 8:30 appointment and spent the whole day there. I had to turn down recommended service that I knew that I did not need, like replacing my wiper blades. Why do I need to replace Mercedes Benz wiper blades that I had replaced 1 year ago? I think what they do is when they see a woman, they upsell their service recommendations to them. I have been schooled by some very good men in my life to know better when visiting dealerships for service.. After spending the whole day and paying the enormous invoice from Mercedes Benz Manhattan, i was ready to get out of there. Now we all know that, Mercedes Benz dealerships are known for detailing your car after having it serviced. Why when I received my vehicle, all 4 windows were rolled down? I thought that was odd and didn’t noticed the vehicle was not detailed until I drove outside the dealership. Back to Helms Bros. Service for my future appointments. They have top notch customer service, where your time is very important to them. They actually show you a video of the technician working on your vehicle while you wait. Sorry Mercedes Benz Manhattan, I tried to give you a chance. You have to do a better job respecting customer’s time with less fluff! TF New York, NY More

Surprised that the only MBUSA dealer can't address my COMAND head unit issues, even with a TSB I provided and they agreed there's an update. They couldn't diagnose my cold start clanking either. Very muc COMAND head unit issues, even with a TSB I provided and they agreed there's an update. They couldn't diagnose my cold start clanking either. Very much disappointed in MBUSA's own dealership. Nobody greets you to pick up your car from service, you gotta beg them to take care of you, otherwise you're left standing there like an idiot. More
